Ive been playing pvp with my ww spec and sadly spent alot of the conquest getting half the gear but im starting to regret it. In bgs especially my damage is good but i die like a fly.
Anyone play around with brewmaster? Besides flag carrying can they put out decent enough damage and be realitively tanker. To be more of a brusier type. I want to play the new race so pally and dks are out of the question
Stagger doesn’t really work in pvp. Most of the blow up your see in pvp comes from ranged magic damage and stagger is nerfed in pvp for that.
If you really want to be a brusier type and put out okay dps then go full fistweaver build and don’t worry about soothing mist at all. Just get in and dps away. You’ll out heal what they do to you and your off healing your team. You just don’t have burst window buttons to save a teammate so make sure your teamed with classes that have their own major defensives like Ret, DK, or self heals like DH.
I’ve tanked mid in Eye of the Storm vs half a bg team before and as long as they don’t cc chain me I can keep spinning the flag all game until my team picks up the flag.
hes half right and when stagger does work like against melee cleaves ur basically jackie chan from drunken master incarnate.
you can basically solo anyone who doesnt use proper CDs and your damage as brew can be semi weak especially vs casters. it basically all comes down to fun and if u like being unkillable, brew is def not unkillable but u can easily solo 1 or 2 people who dont play right which is insane fun.
BUT a caster will light u up like u have never seen before if they can even semi kite well

Thats what ive been looking into but wvery 12.0.5 build i see is a hybrid build
Where can i find a full fistweaving build? I really want to mess around in blitz as a fistweaver as a durable damage dealer vs paper ww. Ill also have a flag carry build set up for those maps so im not just tanking peoples mmr

How to pvp fistweave.
Force cool downs without committing to much to burst: TigerPalm twice, RSK, Bk (to reset RSK), RSK, Then pop thunder focus tea and RSK, BK
When the win condition is in effect (shields, immunes, trinkets are all on cool down for the oppent) Big Burst: TP twice, RSK, BK, RSK, Chi Ji, Thunderfocus Tea, Rsk, BK, RSK, Celestial conduit.
You’ll want to chain cc their healer as much as possible: Incap into Leg Sweep into Song of Chi Ji. This buys you 9 seconds of CC you did yourself.
Healing cheese in pvp: When fighting a Unholy DK, BM hunter, Demo Lock, or fighting a melee group in a RBG just focus on spinning crane kick over and over (again MW doesn’t have hit combo) You’ll top heals and be unkillable during their burst windows all without blowing cooldowns.
Throw out Sheiluns gift when its beyond 5 stacks and someone needs an instant cast heal. As long as you keep up RSK then your SG are instant cast.

yah and this needs to be fixed.
Nerfing tanks in pvp was hot stinking garbage.
You let healers be IMMORTAL GODS for years now but tanks needed to take more dmg in pvp to essentially keep us out of it?

I’ve been having fun on my Brewmaster in random BG’s. Just got him to 90 last week, now in full conquest gear. Spinning a flag or a point and annoying the enemy team is quite fun.
I also have a Prot Warrior and Blood DK I mess around with in PVP. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. You’re not gonna top damage numbers, but there is a place for a tank in BG’s

The trick to playing a tank in PvP is mostly that it’s viable for BGs and primarily for doing objectives. I run BrM in BGs a lot as well, it’s fun and people often don’t know how to counter it because there aren’t a lot kicking around.
I personally like BrM because they are good at objectives, spinning nodes, FC, etc. but they are also great in a team fight with lots of CC, support healing with Refreshing Drinks and throwing vivifies to support healers if needed. If caught on their own they also can survive pretty well, especially vs. melee.
Now are they Meta? Probably not no haha, but still a blast to play.
