Offensively, Brewmaster Monks play around using Keg Smash on cooldown, and because their main rotational skill is an AoE, their offensive ability priorities don’t change significantly between single target and AoE. Their collection of defensive cooldowns is fairly limited, but that is more than made up for by Stagger. This provides Monks with both reactive and proactive defensive tools and gives them the most complete toolkit of any tank. Monks also have Purifying Brew and Celestial Brew, allowing them to clear a portion of Staggered damage and shield themselves from damage.

This gives Monks an enormous advantage at living through burst damage, and burst damage is generally what kills tanks. Unlike other tanks, Monks Stagger damage, spreading out a large portion of all damage taken as a 10-second DoT (13 seconds with talents). In the years since they were introduced in Mists of Pandaria, Brewmaster Monks have consistently been one of the top tank specs in the game, and they are usually very well-represented at the highest levels of raiding.īrewmaster Monk Changes with Dragonflightĭragonflight Season 1 is here!

I’m active on Twitter, where I mostly talk WoW (and basketball), and I’m half of the team responsible for the YouTube channel WoW at Night, which focuses primarily on tank guides and previews. I am active in all of the tank class Discords but primarily contribute to theorycrafting discussions in Peak of Serenity and Skyhold (Monk and Warrior). During Mists of Pandaria, I saw an opportunity to begin writing guides, and I took it with the hopes of making myself a better tank and making the community into better tanks with me.

This guide was written by Llarold! I’ve been tanking since Vanilla. This guide will help you master your Brewmaster Monk in all aspects of the game including raids and dungeons. Welcome to Wowhead's Brewmaster Monk guide.
