Brewmaster Monk Tank Spell List and Glossary — The War Within (11.1.5)

This page describes the essential spells and passives all Brewmaster Monks have at Level 80, going over the main aspects of the specialization to help understand the remainder of this guide. It can also be helpful as a quick reference.

If you are leveling a Brewmaster, you likely will only have access to some of the abilities and passives listed here. However, our leveling guide can help specify when you will unlock access to everything.

Energy is the main resource available to Brewmasters, resulting in them having a natural global cooldown of 1 second.

10 Energy is generated per second, with additional Energy generated depending upon your Haste. Its maximum capacity is 100, and you will start at that amount. Whatever Energy you would have generated while already at 100 will be wasted.

Many abilities available to a Brewmaster do not have an Energy cost. They are only limited by their cooldown timer. Balancing the use of Energy-spending abilities with free abilities form the core of managing Brewmaster spells.

Ability	Shorthand	Description/Effect
Brewmaster's Balance	-	A passive to assist you in tanking, increasing your total Armor by 45% and your Stamina by 45%.
Blackout Kick	BoK	Has no cost, deals some damage, and grants you a stack of Mastery: Elusive Brawler on a very low cooldown. This ability's functionality changes dramatically based on your chosen talents.
Celestial Fortune	CF	Increases all healing you receive, with the chance to occur being equal to your Critical Strike. In addition, it increases the size of any friendly absorbs on you by 70% of your Critical Strike chance.
Crackling Jade Lightning	CJL	A ranged channeled spell that deals low damage to enemies and has the added effect of occasionally knocking back targets in melee. It is very expensive, costing 20 Energy to cast and 20 per second beyond that. It should only be used to pull far away enemies.
Expel Harm	EH	Provides a small amount of baseline healing and also draws all Gift of the Ox/ Spirit of the Ox orbs to you to increase the healing amount. You will then deal 10% of the healing (including overhealing) as damage to a nearby enemy. It costs 15 Energy and has a 5-second cooldown.
Leg Sweep	LS	Allows you to stun all targets within 6 yards of yourself for 3 seconds on a 1-minute cooldown. Its range and cooldown can be influenced by additional talents.
Mastery: Elusive Brawler	EB	The Brewmaster Mastery, causing you to gain stacking dodge chance equal to your Mastery percentage after being hit by an auto-attack or when casting Blackout Kick until you successfully dodge. This effect can stack to the point of giving you more than 100% dodge chance. It also increases your Attack Power.
Mystic Touch	MT	Causes enemies you damage to take 5% more Physical damage from everything. This effect is exclusive to Monks and is desirable in all forms of content.
Provoke	Taunt	A taunt effect, forcing the target to attack you for 3 seconds with a cooldown of 8 seconds and has a 30-yard range. During that time, your threat generation on that target is also increased.
Resuscitate	Res	Your resurrection spell. It takes 10 seconds to cast — reduced by Haste — and can only be cast outside combat. You should prioritize resurrecting healers during wipes, as they can resurrect all players at once.
Roll	-	A signature Monk ability, causing you to roll a short distance in the direction you are moving. It has 1 charge with a 20-second cooldown, and can be further modified with certain talents.
Spinning Crane Kick	SCK	Your main multi-target filler spell that costs 25 Energy to use. It deals four ticks of damage over 1.5 seconds, reduced by Haste, and has no target cap. However, it will deal less damage to each target hit if hitting more than 5 at a time. It also will attract any nearby Gift of the Ox/ Spirit of the Ox Healing Spheres to you while channeling and grant 1 second of Shuffle each tick so long as it hits a target. You can still dodge enemy attacks while channeling this ability. You can cast most other abilities on your next global cooldown without interrupting the channel, outside of other abilities with cast times. Finally, using this ability twice in a row will add the remaining channel duration to the new cast.
Stagger	-	A unique way Brewmaster Monks receive damage. When any damage is taken, it is split into a chunk you take immediately and a staggered portion, which you take over 10 seconds. How much of an enemy's attacks you Stagger will depend on your Agility and their level. In addition, you can only Stagger Magic damage equal to 58% of the amount you would from Physical attacks, which also includes almost all damage-over-time effects. Certain talents and spells can also modify Stagger.
Tiger Palm	TP	Your main single-target filler spell. It deals low damage and reduces the cooldown of your "brew" abilities by 1 second. Using Tiger Palm costs 25 Energy. This ability's damage, in particular, can be dramatically altered with the use of certain talents.
Touch of Death	ToD	Acts as an execute-style offensive cooldown that carries some defensive value. Every 3 minutes, you may instantly kill any target with less Health than your maximum amount. However, other players will resist the effect without opting for other talents. Casting Touch of Death will also remove some of your Staggered damage.
Vivify	Viv	A small single-target heal. It has a cast time of 1.5 seconds and costs 30 Energy. You should rarely cast this in active combat and instead only use it during downtime or between fights.
Zen Pilgrimage	-	Teleport yourself to the Peak of Serenity in Pandaria or the Wandering Isle. Casting this ability again while there will send you back to where you were or to the nearest spirit healer.

Face Palm	FP	Tiger Palm has a chance to deal bonus damage and further reduce the cooldown of your "brew" abilities.
Ox Stance	-	Casting Purifying Brew generates charges of Ox Stance based on your level of Stagger at the time, up to a total of 3 stacks in Heavy Stagger. Up to 10 charges may be stored for a period of 30 seconds. When struck by an attack that would deal damage equal to 60% or more of your current health, one charge of Ox Stance is consumed to increase your Stagger percentage against the hit by approximately 20%.
Stormstout's Last Keg	SSLK	Keg Smash gains a second charge and deals bonus damage.
Blackout Combo	BoC	Casting Blackout Kick empowers your next use of many Brewmaster abilities: Tiger Palm deals 100% increased damage. Breath of Fire deals 50% more damage and grants 10% damage reduction rather than 5%. Keg Smash grants 5 seconds of cooldown reduction to "brew" abilities rather than 3. Purifying Brew pauses DoT damage taken from Stagger for 3 seconds. Celestial Brew instantly grants you 3 stacks of Purified Chi, which are applied to that cast, up to its normal cap of 6 stacks.
Press the Advantage	PtA	You no longer can cast Tiger Palm. Instead, your mainhand auto attacks deal additional damage, provide a small amount of Brew cooldown reduction, and grant you a stacking damage buff. Upon reaching 10 stacks, your next Keg Smash or Rising Sun Kick will be cast twice. Talents that interact with Tiger Palm will also apply to these bonus casts. This is a choice node shared with Weapons of Order.
Black Ox Adept	BOA	Rising Sun Kick grants one charge of Ox Stance with each cast.
Heightened Guard	HG	Ox Stance charges trigger from hits that are larger than 40% of your current health, rather than 60%.
Call to Arms	CtA	Casting Weapons of Order triggers an activation of Invoke Niuzao, the Black Ox for 12 seconds. With Press the Advantage, your bonus casts of Keg Smash or Rising Sun Kick have a chance to trigger this effect.
Chi Surge	-	Casting Weapons of Order deals additional damage over time to nearby enemies. Weapons of Order also gain cooldown reduction based on the number of enemies hit, up to 20 seconds with 5+ targets. With Press the Advantage, your bonus casts of Keg Smash or Rising Sun Kick will trigger this effect at 50% effectiveness.

Since nearly every single major ability for Brewmaster Monk interacts with each other, it can be difficult to figure out how they are meant to be prioritized. But now that you know what they do, our rotation page can help you see how to balance your moves between Brews, Energy, and cooldowns.
