Brewmaster Monk tank guide & helper

Tank as Brewmaster Monk with your rotation, mitigation and defensives timed for you, kicks on the casts that matter and AoE threat on big pulls.

Updated for patch 12.1.5 · World of Warcraft: Midnight · Windows
Guide

How Brewmaster plays.

Part of the damage you take goes into Stagger, a pool you take over 10 seconds. Purifying Brew clears half of it, Celestial Brew goes out often, and Keg Smash, Breath of Fire and Blackout Kick go out on cooldown. Tiger Palm fills the gaps while keeping energy for Keg Smash.

One target (Shado-Pan)

  1. Touch of Death on cooldown - it also clears Stagger.
  2. Purifying Brew by the Stagger rule below.
  3. Blackout Kick to start Blackout Combo, then Invoke Niuzao.
  4. Tiger Palm with Blackout Combo up.
  5. Breath of Fire, Keg Smash and Exploding Keg.
  6. Celestial Brew, Empty the Cellar, Chi Burst and Rushing Jade Wind.
  7. Blackout Kick, then Tiger Palm with energy to spare, then Expel Harm.

Staying alive

  • Purifying Brew at Heavy Stagger, at Moderate when a charge is to spare, when the button glows after Stagger spikes, and before it sits on 2 charges. It goes out without waiting for the global cooldown.
  • Celestial Brew goes out often, but not while it would waste a charge.
  • Black Ox Brew brings Celestial Brew back when it's out of charges.
  • Fortifying Brew is your big defensive: it goes out by your health and before big tank hits.
  • Empty the Cellar before it runs out (1.5 seconds left, changeable).

Master of Harmony

  • Celestial Brew with the Aspect of Harmony spender buff, and Keg Smash with it when Empty Barrel is up.
  • Celestial Brew before it reaches 2 charges.
  • Exploding Keg when Keg Smash is out of charges, Empty the Cellar while Celestial Brew is more than 15 seconds away.

Good to know

  • During Niuzao on Shado-Pan, Celestial Brew and Exploding Keg go out first - with Salsalabim's Strength, Breath of Fire and Keg Smash before them.
  • Your racial goes out through the helper's own racial step.
What it does for you

Built for Brewmaster.

01

Defensives before the hit

Your defensives and mitigation go up at the health you choose, and before a big tank hit lands (works with your boss mod).

02

Hold the pull

AoE and threat spells once enough mobs are on you, single-target spells on a single mob.

03

Kicks and stuns

Interrupts on the casts that matter, at the last safe moment, and no stuns on mobs that can't be stunned.

04

Immunity learning

It learns which mobs shrug off your spells and stops casting them there.

05

You stay in control

Every spell, threshold and line of the priority is yours to change. One switch turns it off.
