I've been seeing all the discussion re: Brawlers at/near end-game... but I have to say (having only just reached L50) that running a brawler at lower levels has been (so far) an absolute blast! I can solo most fellowship quests on level and have no problem w/ mobs 3-4 levels higher I am. The thing is an absolute BEAST. Now I'm curious to see what happens at high levels.
(To look on the bright side, I'm wondering if Brawler wouldn't be the new preferred class for LP farming...)
