When will the threat problems go away for Brewmaster? Randomly losing threat on mobs in a pull because of low threat generation, even tho damage is fairly high from the brew itself. It makes no sense to lose aggro when you are actually pumping damage.
And because of this, Brews have to play these days with Ox Statue and some taunt macro to make it even viable, its clunky.
Keg Smash radius??? 8 yards LOL. How long has it been like this? Forever? Using Keg Smash on pull feels bad. Every. Single. Time. You hit HALF the trashpack with Keg Smash, so first global half of the trashpack starts running off towards the dps and the healer and spinning crane kick cant catch them up because the damage of that ability was nerfed to oblivion, its a dps loss to even press it on 5 targets.
Where did all the flavor of the spec go? Things like Bonedust brew and could have invented a few other BREW options… Where did Bonedust go? i miss it. Its a BREWmaster after all, but the extra brews was pruned out of the game. Definitly need a redesign of the spec tree, because nobody in their right mind can justify spending 4 ( FOUR!!!) talent points to play Nuizhao when those points are absolutely necessary elsewhere to even be viable playing this spec at all. Just bake all of it into ONE talent and be done with it. Make Niuzhao great again!
Self healing nerfed way too much in this expansion. Not even what once used to be a really powerfull shield absorb in Celestial Brew is good anymore, even after the “buffs” that was most recently announced and inplemented its still BAD. 1 or 2 autohits from trash mobs and the shield is gone, even with a full buff on it. Its bad just so bad.
And a full 5 stack of healing orbs is abyssmal, if all orbs crits its like 2.5 million healing in total from spending like a minute in the fight in order to spawn them. Never in my life did i think i had to start pessing Vivify for self healing as Brewmaster, but here we are.
Dragonflight season 3 was the last time it felt good to play this spec, and its only gotten worse since then.
I understand all players i have read that says its “playable” still, and people do high keys and bla bla, but why would you play it? Its just WAAY HARDER for the most dumb reasons aswell to play it than any other tank spec in the game currently.
