Brawler's Guild: Bruce (Rank 1) Battle for Azeroth (BfA )
Table of Contents
Bruce is your first Brawler's Guild Rank 1 opponent. The fight against him is very simple, but requires perfect execution and, as is the case with many Brawler's Guild fights, the slightest mistake will cause you to die. Before we delve further into the explanations, we advise you to first watch this very short video, which shows how the fight with Bruce goes.
Abilities and Strategy
Bruce has only one ability called 
 Chomp Chomp Chomp.
It has a 2-second cast time and targets a conic area in front of
him. If you get hit by it, you die.
Bruce also has a melee attack. It is weak enough that a Cloth wearer in blue-quality gear should be able to kill Bruce before Bruce kills them.
The strategy for defeating Bruce is simple.
- Remain at melee range and keep attacking him.
 - When Bruce starts casting 
 Chomp Chomp Chomp, move
through him to avoid getting hit. 
Generic Advice
- Do not panic. It does not matter if you mess up your rotation, but you need to stick to the strategy.
 - If you are in for a long Brawler's Guild session, you may want to use a flask.
 - Prepot! Use a 
 Potion of Brawler's Might, a 
 Potion of Brawler's Cunning, or a
 Potion of Brawler's Deftness right before Bruce appears, depending on
what your main statistic is. - When the 60-second cooldown on your potion is over, you can use the same
potion again or you can use a 
 Brawler's Healing Potion if you need healing. - Group up with other players so that you benefit from each other's buffs.
