Brewmaster Monk Tank Crucible of Storms Raid Guide — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1.5

1. Disclaimer

This page will be a rough outline of the bosses and mechanics in the Crucible of Storms raid from a Brewmaster monk and general tank point of view. Initially, this page will focus on Heroic mode and lower, however, as more bosses are being killed on Mythic, the guide will also include optimizations for Mythic bosses.

This page will be updated over the first few weeks of the raid as strategies emerge and any tips are found. All recommendations at this time are based on PTR testing and other preliminary information, and are subject to change.

3. The Restless Cabal

3.1. Talents

• Level 15: Eye of the Tiger
• Level 30: No specific recommendation
• Level 45: Light Brewing
• Level 60: Tiger Tail Sweep or Ring of Peace
• Level 75: Bob and Weave (or Dampen Harm, situationally)
• Level 90: Rushing Jade Wind
• Level 100: High Tolerance

3.2. Tips

You should wait a couple of seconds before dragging Fa'thuul to Zaxasj (the boss tanked by a ranged player). If you ever take aggro on the ranged boss, you are almost certain to cause a wipe, so use threat meters and stop using Rushing Jade Wind if you get too close.

You should use cooldowns after activating the Void Stone relic, as you are not able to be healed while the shield from Umbral Shell is on the boss.

4. Uu'nat, Harbinger of the Void

4.1. Talents

• Level 15: Eye of the Tiger
• Level 30: No specific recommendation
• Level 45: Light Brewing
• Level 60: Summon Black Ox Statue or Ring of Peace (or Tiger Tail Sweep, situationally)
• Level 75: Bob and Weave (or Dampen Harm, situationally)
• Level 90: Rushing Jade Wind
• Level 100: High Tolerance

4.2. Tips

You should use cooldowns when moving through beams, and when multiple Undying Guardians are active in Phase 2 with the Hysteria buff.

Ring of Peace can be used to reposition Primordial Mindbenders. You may choose to use the Black Ox Statue instead to aid in collecting the adds spawned when a Mindbender dies.
