Brewmaster is even now cannon fodder. Still nothing… Nothing!!! in 11.1

Please stand in line behind Demon Hunters, Monks had rework earlier this year, while we just recently celebrated 1 year anniversary of no changes (minor hotfixes and two talent changes notwithstanding).
Also, you might want to share some more valuable feedback by specifying what makes Brewmaster cannon fodder in your eyes.
Explain me which rework we got earlier this year? Dh was the most played tank over all S4 Dragonflight so maybe you can give some sense to your words.
Since your confusion seems genuine, here you go:
- Monk - July 2024
Monks got a complete rework for the The War Within release, including completely revamped class tree and updates to the class tree. The changes therefore occurred with the release of the current expansion’s pre-patch 5 months ago, on 23 July 2024.
- Demon Hunter - November 2023
The last overhaul Demon Hunters received occurred in patch 10.2, dated 7 November 2023.
Sure, S4 VDH was on the top of charts, but that was caused by end-of-expansion inflated stats which made their playstyle more than viable in dungeons, plus the vast array of crowd control abilities that has since not only been curbed and nerfed on the DH side, but also generally made nearly useless in the new environment where only Interrupts prevent spell recasts.
Besides, speaking of the past is meaningless when DH is currently a below average pick.
Since I play both Vengeance and Brewmaster in M+, compared to Demon Hunters Monks play well now. What Monks need is numbers tuning, minor tweaks, and bug fixes - something that comes a bit later in the patch development cycle.
On the other hand, Demon Hunter design is outdated for the current state of the game. Demon Hunter is the last hybrid (not pure DPS) class whose core talent tree has throughput talents. You know it’s flawed design when the DPS spec has to pick tanking talents to progress down the tree.
Class tree is similar to the one of DF with some new talents. But explain me why I want a revamped class tree when our problems are on the “revamped” spec tree, which has several useless talents.
Yes and no. Number tuning and dont know if you would consider that as minor tweaks, but have 5 useless talents on spec tree. With other 3 not even close to be used only for niche situations.
I played VhDH recently and consider that needs some rework on spec tree to change the accesibility to certain talents and tunning. But the gameplay seems to be complex and funny. You have to play it perfect on its actual state but should need to be able to resist more of the lil windows between the rotation of defensive CDs
What I pretend to tell you is that the fact of getting a revamped talent is useless if it doesn´t work, which is what happens with current spec tree, which ends up degeneratin our rotation
Yeah, Brewmaster has been the worst tank for some time now and is completely neglected.
To me it’s quite clear that blizz is spread too thin and they simply do not have manpower to adjust all the classes that need help, or management is incompetent, most likely both.
Hopefully all the classes than have been neglected receive some attention in 11.1
But looking at how prot pally in untouched, and they even nerfed prot warrior (WTF?!) it is not looking too bright. Tons of feedback is out there, they just choose to ignore it.
