why do you keep acting like bewmaster doesnt contribute to people not playiong monk? you keep spitting this drivel that the spec isnt played because of the class but a big factor in the class being played is people liking the spec… so basically you keep running with that circular logic and you will get no where
of course it does it means people arnt playing the spec. t hat in itself is enough to know there is a problem.
like i said above i would take that bet anyday because meta chasers are a real thing.
I would say dk is worse than brew for higher keys, certainly less forgiving.
There is a constant arms race between specs in wow. Rather than crying over who is worse we should focus on pain points and try to get some improvements there.
If meta is your goal get used to rerolling. Even if Brew were to become meta it would only be temporary.
that could be a fair argument to make either way they are both weaker than the other classes imo for pushing higher.you kno what ill add vdh in there with it.
i agree they need make changes but identifying who needs those changes is important and right now blizzard is just plain ignoring brewmaster lol.
just be like me and play a bunch of tanks at once lol
bruh i just did a quick look at the changes, they are nerfing prot war again but pally gets away form what im seeing. on top of ignoring brew again
really and what evidence do you have for that because coming into the expansion they were one of the worst tanks and their player count reflected that. now they are meta and their player count reflects that.
Are we talking about my raid parses. I am WW for the raid, but I’m geared for BRM mythic+. My mythic+ parses are all 97+ at this point. Go troll somewhere else.
I love the scrubs who come here and say well I play EU server but never give us your name.
You just proved you don’t even know how to read logs. Points is a group metric, meaning you completed the key. Look at your damage skippy, you have green and blue parses. Don’t call people scrubs when you parse green.
p.s. since you probably won’t get it, I’m talking about your mythic + scores, Learn how to read them then maybe try again.
Am I allowed to say its ridiculous at this point? Or do I need to have all 99’s in my parses?
Monks aren’t chosen because:
A) Bad previous experience with lower-skilled monks means people see them as squishy.
B) We’re actually squishy, as in, we take way more damage than other tanks and on top of that, our utility isn’t great. We lack a battle rez, most classes (even traditionally physical classes) do magical damage. We do have poison cleanse, but so does Paladin. Just about the only utility we offer is Ring of Peace and Leg Sweep, which are only okay given everyone has an AOE stun, and Ring of Peace is such a weird skill to use. What I wouldn’t give for MoP ring of peace that disarmed/silenced everyone inside of it.
C) Every other tank brings something that makes them valuable besides tanking, except monk. Even warrior, which is known for its low utility, brings Battle Shout, intervene (which negates some extremely irritating boss mechanics) and a group wide defensive cooldown – all on top of being the tank which takes the least amount of damage.
then what drives a surge of said specs once they start performing well?
popularity is in the direct correlation.
You’re being intentionally dense at this point. Do you even play Monk? Post on him.
Ret paladins - absolute PUMPERS for keys and guess what, they are the MOST played dps in keys.
Resto shamys are BEASTS and guess what, they are the MOST played healer in keys.
DF S4 - VDH were completely busted. And thus nearly 40% of all tanks were VDH.
You’ve lost your wager.
I love how all actual 2.7+ IO monks are saying that Brews are falling behind, but 2 non-monks nobodies are trying to prove us all wrong but got absolutely zero substance nor evidence to back anything up.
I have even linked 2 videos above he ignored, as it doesn’t fit their narrative.
Him knowing or not knowing how to M+ section of logs works has zero impact on his option on current state of the Brew in keys, as he, in fact, plays Brewmaster as you can evidently see it on his RIO page.
And we had Equinox pitch in in another thread, the #1 NA Brewmaster, saying Brews need help…but this 70 priest certainly knows it better?
I ignored the 2 videos because you’re trying to compare 2 completely different group compositions with a different set of players. One group has an aug and is still just doing so much less damage than the other group. I can’t speak for other monks, but the reasons I generally don’t pull big aren’t because I can’t handle it, but because the group cannot handle it. That group wouldn’t have been able to handle it.
Then going into the part about the tank buster, you’re saying oh the prot warrior only took 10% of his health meanwhile ignoring the fact that they went into it with shield wall, swarmlords authority, and a full ignore pain. All the monk used was dampen harm and celestial brew, the latter of which was mostly gone before the tankbuster even went out.
so they used their equivalent in defensives cds? what’s your point. warrior rotates between shield wall, last stand and spell block for most tank busters. dampen hard and celestial brew are monks equivalent to that rotation.
My point is the two aren’t comparable. While the warrior can probably take less damage by merit of block, they took less damage in that scenario because they overlapped 2 defensive cooldowns instead of just the 1 of the brewmaster.
