Cool Deal we finally get something other professions wont but I fear there will be so many new FOTM Pikemen with it seems only our profession getting Intimidate and Warcry.

Was not able to purchase armor, even from the blue frogs. I did not see toughness anywhere in there, but there are some "Polearm Defense" mods in there. After a couple hours of grinding I was able to get 1000 Medic and 0002 Brawler. Hunting in groups was best and the most entertaining.

And the attacks... you start off with Melee Hit or something, low damaging ability. I do about 20-30 damage with a wood stick, I also noticed there wasn't any auto-attacking. At the 2nd box you are granted Melee Strike, which does a little more damage, but also costs a bit more.

The missions available at novice brawler (dwarf nunas) are WAY too tough for a novice brawler to even stand a chance.

Better to be FOTM because of our skills and abilities, than to be FOTM because of dot weapons IMO.

Do kreetles, same mission level (5) and much more doable. Also good are lesser womp rats and rills.

Hrm, not much to say yet from the little testing I did last night. I went out and found a group and starting using a wooden staff. Liked the new effects, but it sort of seems like it's more "cartoon-ish"?

I don't like how ... going from Novice Brawler to the first box in Polearm, you get no new move (just center of being). It be nice to get at least one new move in that first box, so you feel like you've actually made progress.

Looking forward to trying it some more this weekend. So far, just keeping an open mind about it all.
