[Discussion] The Pugilist of the Future!

[DurtiMonkeyToe]

WELCOME! To the Pugilist of Tomorrow!

I'm starting this thread for Pugilist enthusiasts to discuss the class as it is currently and what we hope to see it evolve into in the future. It is also a good place for us to discuss possible suggestions that we can make to SE developers in an effort to provide them with feedback for class development.

I will guide the discussion by posting some question, which I will keep updated here in the first post.

Here are my initial questions and some of my opinions:

1. What roles do Pugilists currently fill in party play?

Main/Off Tank:

I think that PUGs only fill the role of main tank in a pinch as MRD and GLD are better main tanks. PUGs do make pretty proficient off tanks, either when there is trouble with the main holding Aggro or taking aggro from less durable party members or when provoking adds that aggro to the group.

Damage Dealer:

Though not as effective as an ARC or LNC, PUGs can deal some damage. I think that they may need some buffs in this area however, or some abilities that will seperate them from the pack.

Problems:

I think the biggest problem on PUG is that they are good at this and that, but not outstanding at anything particular.

2. Do PGL do enough damage?
