Did arena game today and i got killed thru BoP with Fist of fury and blackout kick that did nature damage. I cant figure out how can monk transform his damage into nature. Any help?
Green tea twice a day for 3 expansions.

The PvP-Talent Tigereyebrew turns their dmg into nature dmg for a limited amount of time.
It’s Tigereye Brew like the poster above me mentioned. It’s something the monk has to build up by spending 3 chi to get 1 stack of Tigereye Brew that lasts for 2 seconds and you can see the stacks on the monk’s buffs. Most monks will spend it at 10 stacks but you can consume them at any time for a lesser duration.
Well, but since when do melee attacks go through BoP? Frost Strike is frost damage e.g. and still cant bypass BoP, same for other physical attacks that do spell damage.
Are you for real, is it really intented to bypass BoP and happens all the time or is it just a bug that happens sometimes?!
Most monks spend it during fof, no matter of how many stacks they have (usually they gain between the fists at least 3+ stacks which covers their whole burst window).
This made my day xD

BoP only blocks physical attacks and with tigereye physical abilities deal nature dmg, so it wont get blocked by BoP. It aint a bug, thats how its supposed to work.
As I have already explained, the damage school isnt important for BoP, its only important if it is a physical attack or not.
Frost Strike does frost damage but is still a physical attack and cant therefor bypass BoP. FoF may deal nature damage with TEB but is obviously still a physical attack. Same for DH arsenal for example, most of their damage is chaos damage. So based on your logic they must bypass BoP all the time since Chaosbolt bypasses it as well and both are the same damage school. 
So again, usually it shouldnt bypass BoP thats why Im asking if it is a bug or if it was really intended by blizz, which would be absurd.
You’re wrong. Envenom, for instance, hits through BoP despite being a physical attack. Toxic Blade as well. It has been like this since day one.
I also remember Frost Strike hitting through BoP despite what you say. It was like this in the past I’m close to sure. Didn’t retest today.

Frost Strike and all other magic melee attacks go through bop.

Damage school is all that matters tho, any magical attack will bypass it.

Thx for reply, as mentioned above it was probably tigereye brew. I didnt know monks have such skill thats why i was completely suprised by it. Ill buble next time.
BoP prevents physical damage schools only. This includes bleeds as they’re part of the physical school.
Anything else can pass through, whether it’s a melee or ranged attack.
Since Tigereye Brew turns your attacks into wind attacks, aka nature damage, it bypasses BoP.
I havent played DK since MoP I think, but back then you couldnt hit through bop with Frost Strike. If thats the case now, they changed BoP to only avoid physical damage/effects anymore, regardless of the source.
As Ive said, if thats true nowadays, they changed it at some point. 100% sure you couldnt bypass BoP in MoP with stuff like Frost Strike etc.
For WoW thats obviously wrong, but one thing that probably never changes is, that you’re an insufferably unpleasant fellow imo. So please dont talk to me. 
Maybe don’t answer me then !
Also I will always correct if someone says something wrong and I have the information.

Why do you never correct yourself then?
Because I don’t spend time typing stuff that I consider wrong. And because you, who once again showed ignorance, disagree with whatever I may type doesn’t mean it is wrong. It simply means you do not agree and frankly that alone most certainly doesn’t mean it is not truth.
