Fatal touch is the best Brewmaster legendary

I have been seeing every guide saying stormstout’s last keg being the only option for brewmasters … I am here to tell you that is just not true … and fatal touch is not only more fun … but a lot more powerful.

So I really recommend that you craft it and give it a go!

I’ll start with the obvious pros.

  • It’s the most fun legendary (that could be my opinion though)
  • It’s very powerful for all 3 specs in PVE, for WW it’s one of the top legendaries, for MW it will give you more DPS than your fistweaving legendary ATOTM
  • Best in open world and Torghast

The real advantages

  • The only legendary where you obviously feel the difference in survivability it gives you
  • Touch of Death completely removes all stagger damage, when you have ToD on 1 min cooldown you start using it more to remove stagger, I found myself in castle nathria often saving my purifying brews, when i know i have a ToD opportunity coming up … making you crazy tanky
  • Will give you so much DPS (more than twice of any other legendary), it makes me do the DPS of an average DPS in my pug raid (depending on boss) ! usually top DPS on adds
  • You gain a huge DPS burst where it matters, killing that add that is doing a lot of damage to you or your group (which saved me from wiping a few times) as compared to sustained aoe dps from the other legendaries, you can kill that annoying add yourself when your pug isn’t switching fast enough

If it’s so great why arent people crafting it?
It’s thought that this legendary would only be the best in mythic+ trash and bad in raids, but after using it, it turned out to be the best legendary for most castle Nathria bosses, where I was actually using ToD on cooldown

  • Bosses where fatal touch is better
    Huntsman Altimor, Lady Inerva, Sun King, Council, Stone Legion, Sire Denathrius
  • Bosses where stormstout is better
    Shriekwing, Hungering Destroyer, Sludgefist

Same thing with a lot of the mythic+ bosses

Have you tried it yourself? :slight_smile:

Can you get cd completely off in Torghast? I’ll definitely give that a try some point.

Yes! I had one run with 0 cooldown aoe touch of death … was hilarious

Same, got so much cd reduction that it had no cooldown. after that I crafted fatal touch just for the fun of running thorgast, dungeons etc.
Then I did another run to push layer 8 and got several hp buffs (killing maw rats, double hp but roots you after standing still and some normal ones), had no cd on ToD which is pretty easy with the legendary and also got the hp buff bonus for fortifying brew, apparently it can only stack to 100 / 500%. This way I was oneshotting every mob and with brew every elite and the biggest part of the boss hp bar for like 795k.
But even if you dont get everything having this low cd ToD makes it so much fun and so easy to clear everything even with little gear.

got the same without the legendary in thorgast. with the aoe effect too. just hilarious running through the last 2 floors and doing nothing but spam ToD.

Leg def sounds way better after reading this than I first expected.

I hope they will not nerf it!

Why bother torghaast is contained cosmetic it’s just for fun mostly soul Ash needs a catch up too can’t see a problem with torghasst being fun lol

9

Wait. Did you just ToD everything there between GCD intervals?

10

Yup, that’s how it works. But you also need to be mindful to get any HP increasing anima powers, as later floors mobs have much higher HP than starter floors.
