HAVE YOU NOT FOUGHT WITH A BO!?!?!?!? FIGHT WITH A BO!!!
Yes, I forgot about 2 handed staff animation. I've also noticed that fists are their own animation as well.
Congrats sony, you now have 4 distinct.. well kinda distinct fighting animation and dozens of different weapons.

You know maybe I'm doing something wrong. I use Burlap Fist wraps currently. I am lvl 19 and I know these are getting old for my lvl. The problem I'm having is with the wraps my AC is around 298. If I equip the bo my AC drops down to about 190 something.
That's a pretty big difference. Also when I use a bo I miss alot. Which is odd since both my Fists and Staff are maxed out at 98 or 95, something like that. Can anyone explain the big drop to me.
Are you on test server? If you are, it could be part of the deflection patch. I'm not sure how equipping fist wraps vs bo is changing your ac. It'll change your attack, but shouldn't effect your ac safe the few points of agi bonus.
You skill in fists and staff determine what weapons con to you. Fist and staff raise with level automatically, allowing you to equip better weapons. It's your crushing skill that determines your accuracy with them, and they all use the same skill. Bruisers and monks only use ranged, crushing and to a VERY limited amount, slashing.

I dunno why that is happening to you, unless there is some code enforced weapon penalty for bruisers. I can say though, that you are not really losing anything with that AC drop. Granted, 100 AC is quite a bit, but not when yours is that low already. AC isn't your game, so who cares if you lose some?
It's my guess that he's looking at attack, and not armor class. But even if he is, AC IS his game. To many bruisers try and get by with avoidance alone. A good tank wears the best armor she can get, and uses a shield while tanking. Keep your armor up to date, and use a shield, otherwise you're going to take alot of damage when you fail to avoid. Because an avoidance tank is not excuse to skimp on armor.
