On high level keys even using Keg Smash and RJW cant hold aggro sometimes, or losing aggro to dps openers on first pulls.
Specially on Master of Harmony. On Shadopan can hold aggro better but not always. Flurry strikes help a lot.
Bears can hold aggro better just some swipes and thrash or Moonfires and they got a solid aggro on packs.
Well, you hit RJW while you’re 2GCDs away from the pull and then when you’re 1 GCD away from the pull you keg smash, and then when you’re in melee range and running by the pack what are you pressing? And while you strafe past the pack to the next one so you can keep dodging what buttons are you pressing?
You can’t sit on globals during the pull/gather.
Brew agro is fantastic this season, if you lose agro on pull you’re probably not setting it up right, or DPS are dumb enough to actually unload whilst gathering rather than ramp.
yeah it happens on first pull of the dungeons.
Just wait, BrM is going to be so so much worse in S2; they basically killed our apex talents so we will get way fewer keg smashes, half the refreshing drinks while creating holes in the rotation and energy starving us. Minor issues like holding aggro will pale in comparison to the destruction they’ve done by doubling the cooldown on CB / CI.
I wish they would cause SCK to generate high threat so you could comfortably gather mobs with Shuffle up, then Breath of Fire, then Keg Smash to reset Breath of Fire.
Having to Keg Smash on the opener just to generate enough threat to keep the mobs from running at your dps feels terrible.
This right here. CB/CI being absolutely demolished just…hurts.
We had half of a good season with S1 and then they go, “Oh, Brewmaster is over-tuned, gotta hit’em with the nerf nuke. Bye, nerds.”
I’m genuinely confused at their thought process here, because whoever was in that room that came to this conclusion needs to be fired.
If you’re losing aggro, it’s because you’re either not hitting your buttons or stupid dps start unloading while gathering. The first you can fix, the latter there is nothing you can do but watch them die.
