I really like the retaliate-punish combo but require lucky also to complete the trio. Vigilant here is the real deal breaker. I would much rather have Def Stance and the Overwatch attack damage increase from Vigilant is just a wasted trait. I don't know what else you have but I'd be hard pressed to invest in this one. If that fifth trait is Bullet Dodge or Ruthless he's scrap. Same for Strong too unless the update makes that trait valuable enough to be useful and desired.

I'm no expert on bruisers. You say, retaliate with punish is a good combo but requires luck.
I have a Brusier with Retaliate and Punish but doesn't have luck. Although I don't use her much when I do both Retaliate and Punish seem to activate all the time.
I agree Luck would be great to have too but I didn't think luck affected if either Retaliate or Punish work.
Not quite what I meant. I meant that the must haves for me on a Bruiser are Lucky-Retaliate-Punish. I want Lucky for the improved chance activation on equipment traits. Unicorn would be to fill in with Iron Skin and Def Stance.
The punish/retaliate combo is good, power strike is nice but without traits like iron skin, dodge or defensive stance you're not getting the most use out of your bruiser IMO. They're used to soak up damage and stun, how much damage they do is irrelevant. These traits would be better suited to the warrior/scout class but that's just me.
