He is a Hammer user - Dwarven weapon training makes this better than a sword since the advent of Superior Hammers. I may not have been optimised but I never felt marginalised with solid damage & a lot of robustness.   For me BRV is a straight -1 to hit for 3 temps or 4 with a feat.  This is more marginal than I would have thought - for LFR is always 3 fights +/-1 so healing surges are not at a major premium when you have 12. I do not think the +2 damage sometimes for wearing chain would be worth the -2 AC I'd get (Dwarves like plate<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />). I have been missing a fair bit in the higehr level adventures recently so -1 to hit may be into the less fun area.  However at 8th I think the huge durability I get from BRV & Dwarven Stoneblood would mean I am so robust I ought to look to more offense - so Brash Strike & maybe chain. Brash strike at 11th is mitigated by Uncanny Dodge anyway.  Hmm not sure where I am going here - probably that while I do not like  BRV I am not as convinced as I once was it is busted in 3 fights a day. As yet I have not seen a really efficient one in play yet though (its to me once I level <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)</blockquote>
