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.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
