Patch 8.3 Monk Changes

• Stamina bonus reduced to 30% (was 35%).
• Stagger percentage reduced to 90% of Agility (was 105%).
• High Tolerance now increases effectiveness of Stagger by 5% (was 8%).
  • Developers' note: Brewmaster's extremely high effective health against Physical damage meant that they are rarely in danger against spike damage that threatens other tanks. This should still be a strength of Brewmaster, but not by such a wide margin.

• Brewmaster's Gift of the Ox now spawns the correct amount of orbs for players with high amounts of Stamina.

• Revival healing increased by 12%.
• Renewing Mist healing increased by 15% and now costs 2.5% of mana (was 2.8%).
• Vivify healing increased by 6%.
• Enveloping Mist healing increased by 10%.
• Rising Mist healing increased by 33%, and now extends Heal-over-time effects by 4 seconds (was 2 seconds).
  • Developers' note: This talent is currently overshadowed on its row, and we want to make sure it is competitive enough to make its unique playstyle a viable option.
• Life Cocoon now absorbs for 60% of the Monk's maximum health (was 1100%) of the caster's spellpower.
  • Developers' note: This ability had gotten weaker compared to player health pools since the start of the expansion, and this will help it better maintain its value.

• Rising Sun Kick damage increased by 25%.
• Blackout Kick damage increased by 10%.
  • Developers' note: These changes are intended to help Windwalkers perform better in single-target fights.
