Brewmaster; Which stat affects Stagger

I’m getting into tanking Mythic pluses and I need to figure out which of our stats increases the stagger percentage. While under Ironskin, my stagger UI says that 84% of incoming damage is being staggered, how can I increase that number?

Also, for magical damage, does 35% effectiveness mean 35% of the 85%, so only like 30% of total magical damage gets staggered under Ironskin? And is there anyway to improve that or help against magical damage?

check the tooltip, itll tell you what helps you improve it. either haste or agility I cant rmember off the top of my head (and im too lazy for google right now) but im pretty sure its agility. there are 2 talents that will improve your stagger, bob and weave and high tolerance. both are pretty popular. High Tolerance is used in almost all situations and bob and weave depends on the monk and fight.
Magic dmg is our bane. yes it ends up being around 30% of magic dmg is delayed by stagger.

All tanks mitigation is affected by their main stat. For monks that’s agility.

The other secondary stats affect different things associated with the spec.

Mastery increases dodge chances.
Crits increases how strong incoming as well as self heals are on the monk through celestial fortune.

Vers increases heals and dmg done as well as reduces dmg taken

Haste. …avoid if you can.

95% true.

A higher crit does not increase the extra healing granted, just the chance that the extra having will occur. It’s a flat 65% increase of the passive ability procs. The proc chance itself is = to the monks crit rate.

:slightly_smiling_face:

Everything else is accurate!

That’s literally what I just said. Lol.

That’s what you tried to say.

Badgerlord has it clarified.

If someone has trouble understanding simple English when the explanation exactly explains how it works. Sometimes more is wrong.

Crit increases incoming and self heals. That’s exactly how celestial fortune works. I have this thing where I believe people are smart enough to read tool tips and know how crit affects the passive.

Dont question the almighty Badgerlord. Accept your defeat and move on.

Accept it. Stop it.

Don’t act all high and mighty when you’re not.

I plainly agreed with badger. That’s not up for debate. I simply think people should be smart enough to read tool tips and know how something functions.

Such as crit and its interaction with CF.

Saying it increases heals received is not false as it does just that. This is fact.

Try to at least learn simple comprehension it will help you in life.

Nah, there was a slight miswording in your explaination which implied a scaling effect on Celestial Fortune instead of a flat %.

Badger rightly clarified and you were all whiny about ‘that’s literally what you said’.

Hey heard of Frozen? Let it go chum!

Saying words like ‘simple comprehension’ or ‘fact’ is not an ‘I WIN’ button.

High and mighty. Seen a mirror lately?

That’s not high and mighty. That’s simple logic. I believe people are smart. So they should be able to read and comprehend stuff. Its pretty easy.

wow this thread devolved quickly… Utrmonks response seem just fine to me. I think Badgers clarification was more for comprehension then substance. both said the same things to me only in different manners
