It isn’t not valuable. It reduces CD on Keg Smash/Purifying brew and increases your hasted PPM spawning of GotO orbs. Its not as valuable as the other stats though.
Reporting in again, (bug reported on ptr yday) that the brew 4 set is still bugged in aoe and consumes both stacks instantly when hitting more than 1 target. Chi Cocoon also does not proc from the 2 set still so hoping that gets changed.
Good news is fort brew procs stack now which is a fantastic change, good job there.
Please rework niuzao or massively buff it before the release of 11.1, being the only monk spec that fully ignores their celestial feels quite bad.

Good luck with that!
Look at all that haste. Blizzard, you could pop in this thread and give some insight like you did with warriors.

Ok little more mitigation now with ox if they can update our none picked talents with some defense mitigation like replacing zen with a more defense talent like when we have have shuffle active gain more defense mitigation to all attacks would be great.

Of course posted on my wrong toon
Happy to the Nizao buffs, the 40% stagger change is a step in the right direction. It does need a lot more changes though
We have to sacrifice a lot to make Nizao work. They need to change that 2 point talent node into a one pointer.
good niuzao change, can sacrifice pretense and quick sip for CTA and niuzao to make it good. pretense losing more value since dance of the wind got nerfed and more tank busters are becoming undodgable, still needs more but it is usable in all situations of m+ now
once again reporting that our 4 set is STILL bugged and consumes both charges of blackout kick on more than 1 target. would love to actually test my rotation in my set bonus

Happy to see Niuzao is at least on the dev’s radar. Hopefully this isn’t the last of Brewmaster’s changes.

I hope not either, because this buff just makes him last 3 seconds in M+ at high stagger as opposed to 6s.
I don’t think him taking our stagger is an interesting mechanic at all. It doesn’t help mitigate damage taken, only with dealing with the stagger which we already purify away. His enhancement talents are too expensive for little return, forcing us to give up points in critical points like Blackout Combo, Face Palm, and Counterstrike.
I would like to see him provide something a bit stronger utility wise. Monks used to have an ox statue that placed Guard (now celestial brew) on players. That could be brought back with the Nizuo talent, giving monks some much needed group utility – sort of like an AMZ but for physical damage.
Alternatively, he could us some sort of passive DR while he’s active.
I don’t like the idea of him being a semi dps cooldown. Its silly - Mistweaver’s dont use Chi-Ji as a DPS cooldown, nor Yu’lon. But Brewmasters right now only use angry Dave as a small DPS increase in raid.
I’m glad he’s getting attention, but I don’t think adjusting his numbers is the right path forward.
I still would love to see more improvement to Celestial Brew. It seems so inconsequential now, especially compared to the FAT shields you could get in Shadowlands.
Would be great if they could up the baseline absorption of the ability. Either that, or have it provide a flat amount of DR for like 10-15 seconds.

Agreed, would love to see some benefit from blackout combo where you get a buff after CB ends either armor, stagger increase, flat DR etc etc as well as an increased absorb amount. atm after the buff at max stacks its still around 40% of your hp, would love to see it be around 55-60% at max stacks
