Hello all, sorry if i am late and noob, but i downloaded this addon -
monk-stagger-meter in curse forge or twitch app client.
and i will tell you that, it changed the way i play brew master and made me 800% better at tanking and pvping as brew master.
The cool thing is you learn the difference between small cuts and large hits.
I am learning that in PvP when players are attacking you, the addon tells you when you have small cut bleeds and when you took a large hit point hit. The large hits are good for hot trubbing and i do a lot a of damage in PvP.
The normal wow UI stagger interface is inferior because it just tells you a general idea of stagger with out giving you key information.
Here is an example.
In PvP this rogue bleed and poison me and i had red stagger of “small cuts”. So even if both the addon and my wow UI said i had red 90% stagger, i didn’t need to purify because the dots were tiny. So i could let it bleed and only lose 20% of my health over time.
The other example is when a demon hunter eye beams me and i have 29% of my health as stagger and it’s red.
This is a big hit and i will bleed hard probably losing a lot of health. So i purify it.
JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE RED STAGGER, DOES NOT MEAN YOU NEED TO PURIFY.
The addon helps by telling you your stagger health hit percetange % and the amount staggered.
The % percentage of health is more important than the amount staggered. You can stagger thousand of damage if they are low in percentage health.
The idea is the stagger dot changes based on the hit’s total amount that is in bleed que. So for dungeons, you always take low bleeding health hits (under 120 non mythic)
Sometimes you will take a high health hit, and that is worth purifying.
I learned about health hits and stagger damage. It’s weird that stagger works this way, but now i can pvp with hut trub and do vicious damage.
I don’t know if others understand what i am noticing but the wow UI stagger sucks a lot.
Sometimes red stagger is nothing to worry about. Sometimes a high health % hit is dangerous and needs to be purified.
Any ways, maybe a experienced brew master can chime in what i am talking about and how the addon works. The addon is very awesome and is very useful.
I always purify high health hits, not red stagger. I am 100% a better brew master because of the addon.
Hope someone can clarify but i am talking about.
