im just being realistic.is that aproblem? you think this is the blizzard that cares about quality that cares about fixing bugs that cares about balance? those days are gone and dead. tww and their response to guild banks proved that. they dont care.

I donât think they had a single monk represented, period.
Give brew some utility. Like dropping a keg that doles out pots for haste or something. Maybe mini versions of PI, or hell they are PI, just on a 5 min CD like typical pots. We could transition to more of a support tank.
We need something. Unless I run my own key, Iâm not pushing much higher than 11s as a pug. No one is taking a BRM 11+ at this point.

Good suggestion on Nizuao becoming baseline. Would be neat if you had a choice node for buffing haste or damage mitigation while heâs out. I like the ROP suggestion too. And zen med with the legendary effect so it becomes useful in mythic+. Right now itâs a niche tank buster.
Need to do something though. Monks in general need some baseline utility.
Its been sub-S tier for so long. And its the kind of thing that communicates to the players that Blizzard isnt playing their own game.
I havenât watched the whole thing yet, but I liked his RoP idea. I played SoD for a bit, rogues tanks had a rune for aoe where they would counterattack a mob after parrying or dodging capped at once per second, shaman had a lightning shield trigger with a similar design. I wonder if something like that could be taken as inspiration where like every 1s a non-boss auto could be âredirectedâ to reflect the damage or just reduce it to 0 (aikido-like thematic I guess). This would help smooth damage intake in aoe and with the right parameters (doesnât work on bosses for example) wouldnât impact raid durability.
I think they intend to just do away with the spec. Even at its best it wasnât highly represented. From what I hear they are going to move ahead with a rogue tanking spec, probably using outlaw. And shaman using enhance.
Donât get me wrong, they wonât outright delete the spec. Just let it âdie on the vineâ.
Itâs really frustrating that there is no commentary or acknowldgement over the state of BrM and monk in general⌠Almost unprofessional at this point, to address everything in the world and ignore the dialogues and ATLEAST communicate on thoughts and intentions of the monk class.

Its like, whats your options here? Roll a paladin or continue to play a spec that feels like youâre griefing your team and possibly spoiling a M+ key.

They should just put the monk top tier for a whole expansion and we will see increase interest and number of brew. Itâs that easy⌠but I guess they might not go that crazy.
One thing I donât understand is why the hardest and less played tank should be bottom tier. It just doesnât makes sense.
Normally blizzard should never allow any underplayed spec to be bottom tier. We want equality in all class and spec. Doing so will just make people leave the spec and probably never return. I mean giving a dying spec a hard time is just pure madness.
Letâs hope blizzard does something about it soon before itâs too late.
We are not asking much just give of somethingâŚ
Iâd love to see brew get a little buff, but itâs very possible to do every 10 as a brew. Obviously MDI teams are gonna grab whatever class gives them the best shot, and from what i saw last weekend, there were several choices made, but still, for 95% of the players itâs still a fine choice and can complete all the content theyâre trying to do.
We really need to stop acting like any spec that didnât make an MDI team just isnât playable.

Even if they can do +10 in premade group the spec is still dying. People are leaving brewmasters.
Blizzard should absolutely do something

Youâre right that more people would choose the class. But not players that really love the class for its own merits. Just rerolls. People that love and enjoy the class for what it is thematically are already represented.
11s and 12s are possible as well. I just ran a +11 Mists without much trouble.
The problem is that Iâm just not the optimal pick at all.
A prot pally has tons of interrupts/dps and brez/stuns
War is basically unkillable
Guard is basically unkillable and has brez
VDH is high dps and mobile so we see it for speed clears at the MDI
Brew is justâŚits there. We have a lot of tools to deal with the Xalatath affixes but thats it.
When the main intent of the tank nerfs heading into TWW were to gut their self sustain to make them rely more on healers, Brewmasters basically became what they want.
And surprise surprise, nobody likes it.
lmao.
Brewmaster became what they wanted, while the other tanks still become infinite health unkillables with tons of utility or damage.
Great work.
They juste have to make brewmasters great again.
Give it some appeal.
We need a buff for sure but we could also have better animations and sound effect to make it more desirable.
The devs for Brewmaster are in a constant drunken stupor
