Brewmaster Monk 7.3

So the question then is, was the talk of Brewmasters being that bad just talk and no facts so nothing really changed or is there something significant that happened overall in the patch that I've missed that is all of sudden putting Brewmasters on the board for 7.1.5?

The other thing to remember is that there has also been a fair amount of re-balancing with some of the other tanks, namely with large nerfs over a few months to things like Prot Warrior. The tank scene actually looks pretty solid for NH balance-wise. There will always be a loser in balance races, but the gap is nowhere near what it was before.

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2 - please understand that we will not be answering questions in this section about "What is better for 7.2?" prior to the patch release, since all the information will be available when the patch goes live. Please be patient and thanks for waiting!

Did you have a five year old randomly select the artifact talent order for your 7.2 guide? or do you not understand that brewmasters are tanks and not dps? Icy-viens needs to hardcore recruit a real brewmaster player to write this guide.

What?  The artifact path in the guide varies only slightly from the one created by the Brewmaster theortycrafters at Peak of Serenity (both the website and Discord), where the PoS path recommends getting Fortification earlier than the IV guide has it.  To quote the PoS article itself regarding getting the Smashed trait earlier:

Quote

You can also get Smashed before heading towards Brew-Stache if you so choose for more utility, but again, the order here isn’t extremely important as the time needed of filling this tree out is fairly quick.

As for post-35 traits, the IV guide is promoting a hybrid defensive/offensive path.  Getting the new golden trait is very important, as it is quite potent and helps greatly with brew efficiency.  After that, which traits you put a 4th point into largely depends on whether you want more offensive power (where you take Face Palm > Hot Blooded > Obsidian Fists > Rest) or survivability (Hot Blooded > Potent Kick > Overflow/Dark Side of the Moon/Face Palm > Rest).

you have an issue with the legendary helm on the list. you haven't updated since they changed it. it  makes the CD 2.5 mins, lets you move while channeling and doesn't break on melee attacks at all for the full duration

I'd just like to add to what Orthios has already touched on: If you feel that the guide is insufficient, please present actual evidence of why, rather than just uselessly bashing the guide.

Just wanted to say that the description on the legendary "Fundamental Observation" may be incorrect. The legendary now lets the spell remain active no matter how many melee hits are taken, perhaps this bumps its usefulness a bit?

I am enjoying this guide overall, however, I feel it could do with some expansion in the "gear, legendaries, and best in slot" section.

Particularly since all this section covers is the legendary items with little coverage of other gear. For example, many other DPS classes have an actual rough BiS list provided as a guide to the sort of items to watch out for. I think it would be a nice idea to see something similar for BrM or at the very least some discussions around some of the options we have.

I understand that true BiS no longer exists with the way gear works and that tanks, in general, are quite flexible with their gear choices but this section doesn't even look at trinkets. :/

Passing this on! :) I think the rankings are still the same, the description just hadn't been updated.

I can definitely pass this on and see if we can get it added! I do agree that it is lacking somewhat currently, so we'll do our best to get it up to the standard of the rest of the guide :)

I think you need to add Sephuz's Secret to the legendary section.

Mr. Blainie, could you help me out, please?

I have the legendary rings (soul of the grandmaster & stagger ring). Could you explain me how to use effectively the first one (soul of the grandmaster) ? 

Thank you!

If you want to use Soul, you will just take Dampen Harm with it. You would then use it as you would a normal defensive cooldown, while still benefiting from Mystic Vitality passively.

OK the best in slot part of the page does not have any trinkets listed????

 

Furty is working to update the BiS section. Defensively, push for the Darkmoon Deck (Immortality) against physical, Unstable Arcanocrystal and Writhing Heart of Darkness. For damage output, I'd take any high agility trinket. Stat sticks work well in both offensive and defensive slots.

Section 5.6.9 of the rotation page covers Blackout Combo.

Quote

You should make sure to always use your Blackout Strike in combination with Keg Smash to make sure you maximise the number of Brew charges you gain throughout the encounter. If you chose the Special Delivery, more Brew charges also give you an indirect damage increase.

So what should you use your Blackout Strikes in combination with? You should always be using your Blackout Combo Icon Blackout Combos with Tiger Palm.

It then lists the rotation as KS > BoS > TP > (filler) > BoS > TP > (filler).

Unless I'm misinterpreting it (entirely possible) this covers two different scenarios in the same section: for maximum survival, Blackout Combo should be used with Keg Smash to maximise Brew generation. For maximum dps (not tanking or where dps is more important than mitigation) then Blackout Combo should be used with Tiger Palm (or, I suppose, Breath of Fire for aoe).

Pretty much this, yeah - I'll try get Furty to differentiate between the sections.

      Discover everything you need to know about the War Within pre-patch event, Radiant Echoes. Learn about the activities you can participate in, the rewards up for grabs, and the expected release date for the live servers.
      When Will the War Within Pre-Patch Event Start?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19 so we expect the War Within pre-patch to hit live servers alongside this event on August 20, 2024.
      Radiant Echoes Across Azeroth
      Periodically, Azeroth's memories will bubble up in the Dustwallow March, Searing Gorge, and Dragonblight. Here, players must kill mobs to summon an echo of a powerful villain from the past.
      The Radiant Echo culminates in defeating Remembered Onyxia in Dustwallow Marsh, Remembered Firelord in Searing Gorge, and Remembered Lich King in Dragonblight.

      Based on datamining, we are more than certain that the event will be basically the same as the Worldsoul Memory Events in Khaz Algar.
      Trading Post Activities
      The following Trading Post activities are tied to Radiant Echoes.

      Spells
      We found the following spells in the game that are tied to Radiant Echoes:
      Radiant Chord - Release the Radiant Chord at a Radiant Echo allowing you to experience Azeroth's memories.. Able to perceive and interact with Radiant Echoes, experiencing Azeroth's memories. Memory of Cheated Death - The next time you would die within a Radiant Echo, you don't.. Memory of Cheated Death - The next time you die within a Radiant Echo, you won't. Lasts for 5 min and is removed when triggered. Radiant Echoes Currency
      You will be collecting Residual Memories from enemies to purchase rewards from Remembrancer Amuul <Residual Memories Vendor> in Dalaran.
      War Within Pre-Patch Event Rewards
      Remembrancer Amuul in Dalaran is selling all the rewards tied to the pre-patch event. The rewards include gear, pets, bags, and a craftabler Heirloom ring.
      Warbound Gear
      When you're thinking about subscribing to WoW around the time of the event, you will be pleased to learn that you can buy Item Level 493 (1/8 Rank) Champion gear for Radiant Memories.
      The gear carries the "Dalaran's Defender" prefix and you can find a full list of available items over on WoWDB.

      The gear available from the vendor also includes Dalaran-themed weapons.
      Trinkets
      In addition to gear, you can also buy the following trinkets from the vendor:
      Faded Ebony Scale Shriveled Ancient Tentacle Weathered Northrend Crest Bags
      Two bags can be purchased during the pre-patch event:
      Recruit's Reagent Bag (Warbound 30-slot reagent bag); Defender's Hefty Satchel (Warbound 32-slot regular bag). Battle Pets
      3 Battle Pets can be purchased from Amuul. These cost 25 Residual Memories each.
      Remembered Riverpaw Remembered Spawn Remembered Construct
      Mounts
      Two mounts can be purchased during the event:
      Remembered Golden Gryphon
      They love eagles in Stormwind and the gryphon is half eagle. This is why these creatures are a stable to air travel throughout the alliance.

      Remembered Wind Rider
      Hundreds of battles across a dozen campaigns have been fought and won on the backs of these honored creatures.

      Heirloom Ring
      Players must combine three essences (Essence of the Eastern Kingdoms, Essence of Northrend, Essence of Kalimdor) from the event's "bosses" and a Lifeless Stone Ring to create a new Heirloom Ring called Band of Radiant Echoes.
      Lifeless Stone Ring can be purchased from the pre-patch event gear vendor in Dalaran.
      Each essence requires combining 20 memories (e.g. Memory of Kalimdor) that drop from mobs during the event. These are Warbound and shared across all characters on your account. 
      Stay tuned for more details about the pre-patch event!

      We're taking a closer look at Worldsoul Memory, a new open-world event that will be part of the War Within pre-patch, and later, Khaz Algar.
      In the War Within pre-patch, the Worldsoul Memory event will take place in 3 different locations across Azeroth. Basically it's the same version as we'll see later in Khaz Algar.
      Places with Worldsoul Memories will be marked on your map, here's one in the southern Isle of Dorn.

      Before you can start the event, you must farm Radiant Echoes from mobs in the open world by combining 10 Radiant Chords.
      When you enter the area with a Worldsoul Memory, there will be this giant Azerite ball that you must interact with to begin the event.

      Subsequently, a new window will open, informing you about the event. As said above, you must deposit 1 Radiant Echo to receive the Worldsoul Memory buff for 5 minutes.

      While under the effect of Worldsoul Memory, you will enter a different phase, where you must kill mobs and elites under 5 minutes.

      These drop Coffer Key Shards that are combined into keys used in the treasure room to open Bountiful Coffers when you complete delves.

      When you complete your first Worldsoul Memory event, you will receive The First Echo and unlock even more difficulties.

      The next time you will start the event, there will be more options for you to choose from, you can:
      Spend 1 Radiant Echo again to start a Radiant Echo; Release 10 Radiant Echoes at once, increasing your rewards from this memory tenfold; Start a Radiant Discord, which is the hardest difficulty for this event and the Mythic Challenge means you will lose the  Worldsoul Memory upon death and be immediately removed from the vision, meaning you must again spend echoes to start anew.
      There are multiple Worldsoul Memory Events available in Khaz Algar and all have long timers, so if you're looking for that endless grind, you will only need a lot of Radiant Echoes.
      Rewards
      Fragments of Memories rewards the Memory Chord toy. Echoes of Danger gives you the Echochaser title.

      We have confirmation that the only way to get the World Boss mounts in Mists of Pandaria Remix is via Bronze! 
      World Bosses (Source)
      Telinastus: In Remix, yes. But don’t forget that you can go pummel those same bosses on your Dragonflight characters.
      A basic rule-of-thumb for Remix is: quests drop their original loot, but bosses do not.

      We have an almost quad-feature in the hotfixes today, as retail, Remix and Cataclysm Classic have quite a few improvements, and even Season of Discovery sneaks in with one! From trinket changes in 10.2.7 to cloak achievement and Yak Fur fixes in Remix, class adjustments and double BG honor in Cata, there's plenty to see.
       June 3 (Source)
      Dungeons and Raids
      Neltharus Fixed an issue where canceling Dragon Strike using invisibility will lead to Chargath not casting Grounding Chain. Items
      Fixed an issue where Augury of the Primal Flame would not proc certain effects such as Seal of Diurna's Chosen and Seal of Filial Duty. Fixed an issue where Tome of Unstable Power could proc from non-class spell effects such as self-damage from Vessel of Searing Shadow. Player versus Player
      Victories in Solo Shuffle now reward 5 crests (was 3) and victories in Rated 2v2 and Rated 3v3 Arenas now reward 2 crests (was 1). WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria
      Mini Mana Bomb (Horde) and Theramore Tabard (Alliance) are now available from Horos at any Infinite Bazaar for players who have completed Theramore's Fall for their given faction on any Timerunner. Developers’ notes: There is no more need to complete it at exactly level 35. Fixed an issue where some steps of the Infinite Power achievements could be skipped for players. Tuft of Yak Fur, am I right? Now they stack. Cataclysm Classic
      Honor rewards from completing a random battleground or a holiday battleground have been increased by 100%. Fixed an issue with Admiral Ripsnarl's visual effect. Fixed a bug preventing the completion of the achievement Acrocalypse Now. Priest Atonement healing will now de-prioritize pets, and will only heal them if their health is very low compared to available player targets. It will treat them as if their health percentage is 50% higher when evaluating targets. Fixed an issue with Shadowy Apparitions that prevented them from being summoned under certain circumstances. Shaman Fixed a problem with Precision where it was granting an unintended additional 1/2/3% chance to hit. Season of Discovery
      Addressed an issue that caused quest "Goblin Solutions" to sneakily steal extra mines from you.
