He’s been dead for almost 3 years and retired for many years before that, so no… I don’t think he should be commentating.

So they added stagger to the character stat sheet, under your primary attributes. Hovering over mine, currently, it says 44%. Granted, in combat I have other contributors, I have stacking agility modifiers. But the raw, stat sheet stagger is, indeed, 44%
It’s been there for quite some time actually. Hit a training dummy with your keg smash, you will see how much you stagger in combat. That’s what shuffle does for you.

Attack a target dummy with keg smash and check your stagger figure whilst shuffle is up. Shuffle boosts the amount of damage you can stagger. You will see the increased value on the stats sheet.
We can stagger up to 85% of incoming damage, so we got the defensives to do 13, yes. Thing is there is no reason for you to invite a brewmaster monk. They got the survivability and then nothing else.
Crit already provides value for BrM due to bonus healing. What if haste increased our dodge chance? Thats a stat that could use some attention

yeah our crit is a godsend. Celestial fortune is mad strong.
I’m fully Versa/Crit itemized. You won’t find a single non Versa/Crit item on me, outside of tier and one of my weapons. With consumables I’m 28% versa. With druid buff I’m 31% versa (hitting that diminishing return already)
Whenever I do big pulls, such as CoT triple pack pull after 2nd boss, my self healing goes upto a million, with a huge chunk being a duplication of healer’s healing in the form of celestial fortune. The higher the crit is, the higher the bonus is.
I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback in my 9’s from healers. TLDR - I’m not hard tgo heal and some healers have pointed out my good use of taunt trinket, but still worse than other tank classes. But apparently there are a lot of brewmasters…which honestly doesn’t surprise me. I’d say good stagger management is key.

Haste should make me faster, and therefore even more elusive, allowing me to drunkenly dance and be more slippery, thus more defensively.
It’s not worth it though.
Stacking up tons of haste will barely affect your brew CD’s… We already get CDR from BOK combos and TPs. But you’d be giving up insane amount of damage and survivability.
Sure, you’d be able to faster press buttons, but you will also be perma out of energy. I already feel energy deprived in higher keys.
