Thats the entire point of the fix.
Pursuer is a stealth torso. Being a stealth torso means that, on a fundamental level, it is explicitly not a brawler. Unfortunately, this was not reflected in gameplay and many people were abusing it, with often times 3+ in their hanger, and jumping into fights as brawlers against nearly helpless opponents.
This fix worked out that flaw. Now the gear thats designed for brawling can be used for brawling and the stealthy run and hide gear can be used to run and hide. In no world should a stealth bot be used as a brawl bot in a competitive pvp setting.
