Can somebody explain Brewmaster's new Infused Brew to me?

Yeah so uselessly rude for no reason, 12507 posts of this? Jeez, don’t you get tired or treating people like you’re better ?

After testing this does feel true, I feel like I take way more damage than I used to because I used to block 100% of it, but I did a 10 2 days ago which was the first key I did since that 8 that left me feeling weird about the spec, and I can’t die I just have to heal myself more and manage Purifying Brew more than I used to, but even after that 10 I didn’t use Black Ox Brew once, used Dampen Harm twice, didn’t need Diffuse Magic nor Fortifying Brew and Niuzao was used only offensively, and I’m just 701 ilvl. It’s really strong but is not what I’m used to and I felt weird about it at first.

Well yeah that’s why I want to see you improve.

Yeah that’s nice to say but your way of approaching that idea is frustrating for someone confused really

Ask questions and they get answered. Go off on a vague tangent about how other brewmasters are invincible and you’re not without delving into anything specific about your playstyle, get a vague nonsensical answer

False, that was your first answer which was fine, then I said that people have been mentioning feeling invincible with it and you started being condescending for no reason.

Simply pointed out that not feeling invincible as brewmaster right now reflects improper play
:dracthyr_yay_animated:

Yeah so instead of telling me that condescending bullcrap either don’t respond as you seem to only be able to be rude or direct me to somewhere I could find rotational advices or directly give me some of it

Like are you missing basic social skills yourself? Must be, really.

i mean as much as i love the popcorn

this is why i suggest people look for help in classcords, read pins and guides post a log there and they can help out alot better than this

but also like, you might wnat to invest in thicker skin cause if “skill issue” can set you off then frankly your gonna struggle in group content. dont get me wrong, the behavior afterwards is weird and sus af from crusir, but end of the day he kinda has a point. if you felt that drastic of a change despite playing breww for years. then your probably misplaying heavily on something and you need to get that fixed. specs change over the years normally, brew was stagnant for years and thats a bad thing.but just because the spec was stagnant for awhile doesnt mean you should stagnant with it.

brew is a solid spec now with a more forgiving rotation compared to prerevamp. its still somewhat punishing but not as much as it was before. i encourage you to hone your tanking skills and once again become immortal

I didn’t do nuffin

I don’t really get set off by stuff, nor did I here, but when someone asks for help being condescending isn’t needed, and isn’t helping either. If it is indeed a “skill issue”, telling me perhaps I am misplaying the spec and would probably find help in looking at rotation tips on sites like Wowhead of WarcraftLogs is a better way to say “skill issue” that’s not rude or condescending to someone needing advices.

I have been playing Brew for years, hence why this felt weird to me, because I’m used not to be taking any damage after using my Brew and now it’s just a 30% damage reduction. I’m not used to healing as much as I am now because of that fact, so after like 2 keys feeling this way I asked if someone had some advices on perhaps what they do differently, and after seeing most answers I did a 10 and although it felt " weird " as I take damage I understood the strength of Infused Brew more than I did in the first 2 keys testing it, and I’m fine with it now.

And I don’t know about the forgiving rotation thing, I always felt quite invincible with Brewmaster ever since Shadowlands, and always had fun with it. I also feel like my rotation needs to be more thought about now with Infused Brew than before with Celestial, but perhaps that’s my opinion and it’s wrong x)

Anyhow, thank you!

Celestial brew and infused brew both stop the same amount of damage, so you really shouldn’t need to self sustain yourself any more than previously. Taking niuzaos resolve to turn spheres into a hot can also help prevent a lot of overhealing and should give your healer an easier time of keeping you at higher health, meaning you generally require less self sustain then before.

again its just hard to see the core of the issue without much info, your not typing with your brewmaster, your not posting a log to see if theres any rotational issue. theres nothing more we can do beside give you info about the topic in general. even then im not even sure if the description that tomtefar gave you is accurate .

fair enough, i dont think there should be a swing like the swing your describing.

its w/e up to you if you want more help, the forums isnt known for being helpful or full of players who are decent. theres def more better and helpful players in classdiscords in my opinion. heck the only reason im here is to dispell vdh misinfo since the spec was fotm. gl and happy hunting.
