What the class is built around
The Brawler is presented as a close-range fighter built around weapon strikes, grappling, fast movement, light armor, and sustained stamina pressure. That gives it a clear frontline identity, but it does not establish a complete launch build or rotation.
Planning a first character
Choose a race and class as separate parts of the character plan. The combination creates an archetype, so treat the Brawler as a playstyle foundation rather than a finished build. Keep room to adjust once the in-game skill tree and item values are available.
What still needs live confirmation
Published material does not yet confirm exact skills, attribute breakpoints, weapon rankings, or best equipment. Avoid treating pre-launch discussion as a solved meta; test positioning and stamina management in the current build instead.
