I don’t really think it’s safe to say the second highest rated tank definitely has a survivability lead. Tanks and healers oftentimes aren’t brought to high keys in M+ because of their prowess in the primary function, but how well they support the team being able to maximize total damage. Most tanks are perfectly capable to surviving pulls up to the point keys will cap out in the season; the ones that get the nod are the ones that either enable the team to deal more damage in some way or deal the most damage from the tank spot on their own.

What exactly are you basing this statement on? Brewmasters are nowhere close to the “second highest ranked tank.” If they were, they’d have more players playing them. They have the lowest participation rate BY FAR of any tank in m+.

i think at this point they might be preparing for a full rework of the spec and thats why its getting ignored
It is technically performing fine, just nobody plays it.
It is more nuanced and challenging than some of the other tanks, so participation is extremely low.
When you can pick a prot pally or bear and button mash with the simplest of rotations…why would most people go BRM?
Blizz is also scared to death of even TOUCHING the stagger coefficient because allegedly we become gods too easily with the slightest tweak.
There are always contrarians
Brew should definitely be good-er, they deserve it
Which would still be a step above the warrior dev, who doesn’t play warrior at all.
Its comes down to numbers. A whole heck of alot more people play prot warrior then brew monks. Because we are so few our voice is hardly a whisper to Blizzard
yea I don’t know it seems like Blizzard hates Brewmasters or they just can’t seem to figure them out…a rework might be in order
I was looking at the history of M+ in Raider io and it looks like ever since Legion, when M+ was first released, Brewmasters have been at the bottom of the barrel. There was never a point they were ever on top…for M+ anyway. I didn’t check for raids
Well we look to have a 2 second adder to the ox… nothing else… for shame Blizzard!
Brewmaster does not need any rework they are fine. If anything a few small nerfs are in order for BrM
Shadowlands in general didn’t treat Brewmasters bad.
They were top tank for 1/2 of S3 and 2nd for the most of the expansion.
If you mean just popularity, yeah they haven’t been super played.

If you do other content in the game, Brewmaster is too good.
If all you do is stand in static positions in keys every day, then yeah, Pally is probably better. They’re built to stand in consecrate like a DK.
Also have no idea if Pally prio damage is good. It could be completely trash for all I know and only good in AOE.
We have it, it’s Exploding Keg and the statue and dodge, it’s just all those things are extremely unreliable. They need to just reduce the cooldown on exploding keg imo, I’m not sure why it needs to be 1 minute.
Oracle can get their super button that does a billion different things under a minute, it’s just weird balance.
