LOTRO Brawler Class Confirmed, Not Coming to War of Three Peaks

In case this flew under your radar, Lord of the Rings Online Community Manager, Cordovan, confirmed the Brawler class, though we won’t see it in War of the Three Peaks.

War of the Three Peaks is set to drop sometime in October, and you can read about that here. The Brawler class was found earlier and shared on the forums by some folks who had spotted it in the ongoing beta. The forum post speculates,

“Besides that, some guys found more hints that the "brawler" class will come in the near future:- there are some texts in the game files: "Trait Points - Brawler Raid gear: Brawler TBD"- there are another hints in the game files: "Speak with the Brawler Trainer””

Cordovan did eventually respond,

“Obviously you've all seen something we weren't quite ready to talk about, but we'll have more information in the near future. Just to make sure people are aware, this is not something that would be coming to War of Three Peaks.”

This implies that the earliest we might see the class is in Gundabad in 2021.

Thoughts?
