BREWMASTER MONK GUIDE HOW TO

Some choices can be improved - situationally - for considerable gain, and we have noted those in the right column. This is our talent recommendation for playing a Brewmaster.

BREWMASTER MONK GUIDE HOW TO

In future updates to this guide, we’ll include a section on how to upgrade your Artifact Weapon, and show you how the primary and secondary stats found in gear enhance your tanking abilities.

We’ll also detail a basic rotation to help you generate threat and spend your Energy wisely, but the meat of our playstyle advice will be found in our recommendations for cooldown and mitigation ability usage - these are key to your survival as a Brewmaster Monk, after all. If you choose to level as a Brewmaster, you can do so using this talent build for running “levelling” dungeons via the Dungeon Finder tool - but consider looking into our Windwalker Monk guide for a more well-rounded levelling experience. In this Brewmaster Monk guide, we’ll outline a talent build that will allow you to focus on mastering this core mechanic as easily as possible, and that will enable you to effectively tank in Normal, Heroic and Mythic dungeons, as well as in raids up to Heroic. Several of the Brewmaster’s abilities and talents interact with this very system. This means that the staggered portion is not delivered immediately, but is instead delayed and divided out over a 10-second period - giving healers time to prepare the tank’s health to absorb the pain, or even allowing the Brewmaster to use his Purifying Brew to eliminate a good chunk of the pending doom. Unlike most tanks who are hit and take damage minus the amount prevented by any defensive skills they've deployed, a Brewmaster constantly “staggers” 40% to 20% of the damage from each attack (depending on the damage type).

What makes the Brewmaster Monk special is its passive “Stagger” ability. It also relies on a very unique - and uniquely challenging - playstyle, something that we’ll help you come to grips with in this Brewmaster Monk guide. Brewmaster Monk has had its ups and downs ever since joining the ranks of tanks in the Mists of Pandaria expansion, but right now it fulfils that role exceptionally well.
