Heavy stagger help

I wanted to ask here since pro Brew masters confuse me.

So keeping iron skin brew up 100% is good but what about when you get red stagger every second ?

Now I am not using a stagger add-on and the blizzard UI is lack luster but I feel like I die to fast in my mythic dungeons.

I often have to kite / purify / and cc to create windows where my healer can heal.

Can bre master successfully face tank trash mobs in mythic with out kiting cc or purify or is that a myth ?

Raids are different. I tried to do a raid and it ended up ok I think. Granted I am a noob and don’t do much raiding but I feel like raid damage is more smooth and little pocket bursts based on mechanics or strikes. Yes I haven’t done high raiding so I don’t know if it gets stressful.

I am finding mythic dungeons to be more stressful than raids. Prevents me from wanting to do mythics.

I am just curious because I do try to keep ISB 100% but I don’t feel like the damage is smooth. It feels rough and coarse (starwars :slight_smile:)

Any ways sorry for my crying - I just want to know if higher item level will smooth the damage I take in mythics or will it always be bursts.

Also in PvP I feel super tanking. Tankier than PvE. I am 371 and I survive pretty good. I just do no damage though. I also have a Dps trinket and a tank PvP trinket and good azerite traits for my item lvl.

Thanks all for reading. Love the monk community.

Sometimes its more efficient to burst your purify rather than keeping ISB up. In Mythic + you will be getting hurt with a lot of small little hits rather than big hits. The small little hits can add up so fast that you will be in the red a lot. On bosses Keeping ISB is way more reasonable and needed for big hits then tanking 4-6 trash mobs that hit nearly as hard as bosses depending on the affxes.

If you know how to effectively kite is also a key skill to learn because almost all tanks have to learn how to do it. Esp with Necrotic. Even on a easy week like it is this week sometimes Leg sweep, Torpedo out or Ring of peace just to catch a breath is really key in higher level keys.

I can speak in technical terms so if you should wait until someone more knowledgeable replies, but I can tell you right now that BrM can definetly face tank mobs very efficiently. I usually tank 10s for my guildies and although it’s nice to have the kitting tools you mentioned, I don’t need to resort to those very often. Your issue probably lies on gear, talents or spell usage.

I just looked at your gear… And yes gear will help things alot. You definately need to get season 2 gear. Even if its just 385 or 400 but you really do need those seaons 2 rings.

In addition to what Berusein has said I’d also switch tier 75 to BoB and Weave and tier 100 to High Tolerance. That should significantly help smooth things out.
