I ignored that guy (parsalian) like years ago. He’s an obv troll on the monk forums. Here he’s saying vast majority of the player-base while also saying its fine for competitive players.

BrM is queue simulator again because of these metrics:
https://mythicstats.com/meta
https://www.archon.gg/wow/tier-list/tank-rankings/mythic-plus/10/all-dungeons/this-week
zero utility, lowest damage, and highest damage intake.
Is it autism?
I hit 3k on BrM last season. But yes, I’m switching back to my DH who I barely played in season 1. If someone is asking will they be beta. The answer is no. But they will still complete the top 1% of content in their current form.
They need a lot of help though in other areas and that’s why I jumped back to VDH.
You keep blaming your spec for your horrid gameplay, it’s working out well for you thus far. How’d I know you had terrible parses. I must be prophetic…
I don’t like playing a tank that relies heavily on a healer.
Non existent. Healed keys and mostly been demon hunters and DKs. Even in season 1 don’t think I ever got a brewmaster for a tank
“Relies heavily” isn’t quite accurate. You require more healing, but it’s mostly passive healing that is further empowered by CF. “Relying heavily” implies the healer must actively heal you, which shouldn’t be needed much with proper play outside of specific scenarios.
Also, to be fair, tanks requiring constant passive cleave healing and infrequent direct attention during certain moments was Blizzard’s stated design goal for tanks after the pre-patch tank nerfs. Just Brewmaster was the only one that actually met those goals.
There’s no real reason to play Brew, since every other tank spec is currently better. Pallies are still meta. Warrior/DH do great dmg. Guardian is surprisingly good, even if dps a little low. BDK is well… great until they aren’t, but we haven’t hit that point yet.
Brew still has all its usual faults. Poor dps, abysmal magical mitigation (if you can even call it ‘mitigation’), poor utility, and mediocre everything else.
That said this season doesn’t really punish tanks like last season, so being last probably doesn’t matter much. Unless you’re pushing 0.1% play whatever you enjoy, it won’t really matter.
I am not sure if this happened to many brews, but during season 1 we just had so much data that brew was at the bottom. At the beginning of Season 1 brew was worse than paladin, and then paladin’s got a buff that made them S tier. Then brew was worse than DK and DK got slight buffs.
Weeks of BrM getting no love from the devs despite the metrics is demotivating. I just took 3 months off. I timed all 10’s on week 1, so without the balance the motivation to compete dwindles. I did come back in post and got to 3401 to prep for this season, but if it gets the usual attention I would rather not play WoW than not play Brew.
It’s crazy to me how numbers are all there, and yet some choose to ignore it.
