I’ve been trying out the healer role since 2 months now. I used to be a healer main from vanilla > WoTLK as holy paladin. Thought i’d give it a swing again but as a monk. I love it a lot, and as my gear is getting nicer and brewmaster looking interesting, I feel like giving that a try but… reading topics like these makes me not even try and I won’t unless they get better. Dont feel like gimping the whole group because Im a new tank AND play a bad spec.
Our class is not that bad, we are just playing queue simulator…
Any changes coming? maybe next expansion LOL
Brewmaster is by far the most fun tank but it is literally glass right now
Celestial brew does nothing, and the self healing was gutted, real shame
It feels like Brewmasters should get the ability to draw the healing orbs that they generate into themselfs like Vengeance Demon Hunter does.
You mean by using… Expel Harm?
The biggest problem I see with BrM right now is the way I’m rn with 637 ilvl and have to press 6 more buttons and receive triple damage a Prot or Warr should get with 15 less ilvl. I’ve tanked 12s on my Alt Prot with 620 ilvl and stressing 1/4 of what i was doing with brm and more ilvl 1 moth ago.
The point of being the hardest tank of the game is that if you play it perfect it should be somehow rewarding. But the only way it is rewarding right now is not dying.
Im tired of Blizz afraid of buffing BrM Monk cause its easy to be broken, but then you see the same classes all the time broken on leaderboards. Dh, Pala, Warrior. And its been like that last 2/3 expansion. Last patch where BrM was “STRONG” was BfA (8.X) On S1 DF was playable, was okay. And we got nerfed xdxdddxdxddd
They just hate us for some reason.
Well my way to use CB at its actual state is by reserving it on 10 stacks to cover these windows without defensives // No Purifying charges // Give ma self bit of time to breath and vivify or kite. My CB on 10 stacks gives me 4M shield, but on a 13 it lasts 1 second or less… CB at max stacks should get till 7M at least, like it used to be in DF compared to max HP
Man, i’m not sure if i’m wearing rose-tinted glasses but I sure do miss MoP BrM. Not that the previous one after this was bad by any means, but sure as hell beats having to cry to myself when my stacked self-heals aren’t… so stacked anymore.
