Brewmaster monk is bad

For you always been my favourite tank spec

BRM desperately needs a rework. They should seriously consider bringing back the design philosophy of MOP or Legion, because honestly, it’s just not fun to play anymore as it currently stands. The spec has become so overbloated with unnecessary mechanics and convoluted systems that it’s lost its charm and coherence. On top of that, abilities like Rising Kick feel like a total class fantasy breaker—tacked-on moves that don’t fit the identity of what BRM should be about. Back in the day, it had a clear, satisfying flow and a distinct vibe that made it stand out, but now it’s just a mess of mismatched ideas. A return to those earlier, tighter designs could really breathe life back into it and make it enjoyable again.

Need Warden Class for their Chakrams for the Indian fanbase :+1:

On topic, I find Monks beyond dull in any given RPG.

No thank, I don’t want read Sohee, the dh guy, claiming for goblin and gnome warden.

not this again, wardens is for night elves only.

its C tier in Mythic plus
and it is 4%, check main source (11-10 keys) or even all levels 5%

Excuse me, but that’s what makes it good…

Ngl though, I don’t play brewmaster much, but soloing delves as tank is SO MUCH easier on my prot warrior than my monk, at exactly the same ilvl. This is my only experience of these roles in this season, but it is quite noticeable how much more I get slapped around as brewmaster and how much more careful I need to be.

I know which one I would be prepared to try tanking M+ with, and it’s not the monk.

Which is sad because I love this character. I guess the up side is that MW is a strong healer rn so I can retreat to that. Its the characters with no spec above B tier that really suffer :dracthyr_sweat:

Again, you said M+ population. You meant tank population, right? Because if there are 39 specs and BrM is at 4% representation then its overrepresented.

i said 4% in M+ tank populations most runs with brew is low

no idea what you talknig bout, you’re off the road

im a fan of it as well, that’s why i started playing it
and its not very good, it seems forgotten like holy priest

Yea, but you didn’t.

You saying BRewmaster isn’t 4% in M+ population?

Thats exactly what I’m saying. It’s just over 1% of “M+” population.

It’s 6% of “TANKS” population.

6% nice that’s good

You should stop reading “tier lists” from people who don’t know what tier lists are for.

Delves feel weird to tank with BRM. You barely get any stagger, only your health is being chipped away. So you cannot actually use your core mitigation there.

In M+, it’s completely different. Your stagger actually fills up, so you feel a lot tankier.

Can’t really say why Delve is how it is.

I started playing my priest as discipline this season because I’m bored of waiting for holy to be better than D tier.

It was fun for the first week, while tank Brann was good. Haven’t had time to try this week, fingers crossed the swinging pendulum of nerfs and buffs has found a sensible midpoint.

Did a t11 with tank brann today with my rsham, felt completely fine. Cant compare to before nerfs and buffs as i havent done much delves.

Always good to hear! My priest is only ~628, and lagging behind the other characters, but in week 1 at 620 he did absolutely fine clearing T8s with tank Brann, and that is a valid gear path at that gear level. If we’re back to him being able to do those, I’m happy :dracthyr_comfy_sip:

Not really having a lot of issues in keys or delves yet as Brewmaster. The start of the season was rough as there are some packs that bulldoze through your HP pool, but once I got familiar with which packs are dangerous it took more pressure off of my healer’s back.

It may not be that good in 15+ keys, but it is completely servicable for everything else below that. I am also certain that the spec can handle the highest keys as well, but it requires much more coordination to do compared to some other tanks.

I find it to be one of the more engaging tanks out of the bunch.

I’m ok with redesign but they need to keep stagger i really like it.

It’s a bit too complex for what you can get out of it but is is more like average not bad. Just gets badly outshined by vengeance in self healing and utility in m+
