Recently ive veen feeling like Brewmaster is so forgotten by blizzard, the hero talents really dont feel good and my Monk sims for almost half the dps that lower ilevel tanks do the spec is in dire need to a dps tweak. It doesnt have to be the best i like being an underdog to be honest but this has gotten so out of hand, ive never had to try so hard to hold agro and ultimately fail almost every time, Ive played monk since BFA pretty consistently and there is just something wrong with it now.
Shado pan also procing off of energy usage seems like a huge design punt because nothing feels worse then losing flurry because i had to Keg Smash at range, it just doesnt feel like it belongs to the spec at all, and its almost impossible to tell what kind of impact Master of Harmory hero talents make without addons to parse them out for you like Details. I love monk and will suffer through with it till i cant any more but I feel like its just impossible to have fun with it if I am going to be a liability to every group im in
I forgot the fact that flurry also seems to be either bugged or punished for getting gear, it appears that if you have any sort of free cast of something that WOULD cost energy but doesnt it will not proc Flurry, so if I get a reset on kegsmash i use the gcd but dont get any closer to poping the stacks I NEED to do any sort of damage.
Honestly;, at this point, Flurry just gives me about 5-9% of overall damage and it’s whatever. I use Shadowpan for that 10% DR and boosted Vivify. I actually use Vivify quite a lot and I have saved my mates in keys quite a few times.
I just want a few adjustments to BrM in Keys, but also not affect their performance much in raids/pvp
- Buff damage to Charred Passions in combination with Span Crane Kick
- Increase Vivify healing by additional 30%
- Increase baseline stagger duration
- Increase Gift of the Ox healing spheres spawn chances.
- Celestial Brew could use some baseline shield value buff.
In general I don’t think tier set bonuses should work against parts of our Hero tree.
Gift of the Ox spheres needs to be an aura, such that its trackable by others. Healers cannot know fully if we are in trouble through addons because you cannot expose the amount of healing spheres available to a brewmaster.
Stagger needs baseline buffs as we are significantly squishier than other tanks in 12+ keys.
