so i do the basic rotation required in the 1-60 dungeons, keep up ironskin brew 100% of the time, purifying brew when i get to half stagger. i grab the ox orbs to heal but i still feel really squishy and the healers complain that i lose healthy quickly. is it a me problem or a healer problem? how can i improve
I haven’t actually experienced it personally because I didn’t level from 1-60 as a monk, however I’ve heard from just about everyone that tries that Monk Tanks are not exactly balanced well in the early game, so I don’t think it’s you. If ISB is up 100% of the time and your Purifying when needed, it’s really just a matter of other tanks are either overtuned, or BRM is undertuned for those levels. We are designed for the End Game it seems.
Thats a healer problem.
Also you are purifying to early. If you are not deep in the red before you purify, than you did it to early.
Actually it isn’t a healer problem. You don’t have mastery and are therefore getting trucked compared to other tanks in the lower levels. BrM is notoriously bad for leveling. Can it work? Sure, but if you get a bad healer in a dungeon it’s going to be painful. It’s better to level WW or MW until higher levels.

Have not done any low level dungeon tanking since I think legion maybe it’s been even longer. But definitely not like it used to be where you could pull entire rooms. Now I can pull one group and survive pretty easily. But two groups definitely gets dicey.
No classes we designed around being anything less than 120 atm. Until then balancing etc isn’t worth worrying about.
