Brawling Fighter [4e]
Does the Brawling Fighter variant qualify as more of a striker, or is it still a leader?

Re: Brawling Fighter [4e]
Fighters are Defenders. I don't know much about the Brawling Fighter, but off the top of my head I think leans slightly towards Controller as a secondary role. (Doesn't it focus on grappling and pulling people around and stuff?)

Re: Brawling Fighter [4e]
Yep, pretty much. Just so long as it is still able to pull the defender role off, I'm not worried. Thanks for the input!

Re: Brawling Fighter [4e]
Brawling fighter is possibly the worst striker of all the fighters. Brawler leans controller and extreme lockdown. The striker of the fighter builds is either a properly built two-hander (with the con-to-damage powers) or a tempest fighter.

Re: Brawling Fighter [4e]
There is ONE way to do decent damage with a brawler. Be a Bugbear, and go Shock Trooper for your paragon path. With large-sized spiked gauntlets that receive a size-boost to their dice for being off-hand, you're punching d10s.
But, in the end, Brawler seems to be about EXTREME lockdown. On one guy at a time. But that one guy is going nowhere.

Re: Brawling Fighter [4e]
Yeah, extreme lockdown about covers it. It should also be noted that you're a couple of points more accurate than other fighters by epic due to the +6 proficiency, which is useful for making sure the lockdown sticks.
Currently moving houses, posting will be sporadic for the next little while.
