I just started playing my Brewmaster in TWW and the Hero Talent Tree choices are Master of Harmony or Shado-Pan. Master of Harmony requires that I have selected Chi Burst or Chi Wave - two functionally useless talents for a Brewmaster. Shado-Pan has one talent choice on the left-hand side, with both options, “Pride of Pandaria” and “High Impact” citing a benefit to passive talent “Flurry Strikes,” which is only available to WindWalker Monks - not to Brewmaster Monks, therein making the Shado-Pan talent tree ineffective for Brewmasters. Thus, I have to ask, why is it offered as an option for Brewmasters? The other option, “Master of Harmony,” makes more sense but it’s not ideal as there are a lot of wasted talents for tanks.
Flurry Strikes is the first item in that hero talent tree bud.
And if you’d rather use Harmony you are not required to use chi talents. Spend that point somewhere else if you want, nothing *2 is still nothing.
Can I just complain that Shado-Pan is the lamest thing ever.
The Shadow-Pan are basically ninjas. What about “flurry” strike says ninja? Nothing!

Shado-pan is for windwalker. Brewmaster uses the other one I forget the name. I mean, you can try doing shado-pan, but I wouldn’t recommend doing any actually difficult content.
And whys that? A lot of the top Brews have been running, and are still running, Shado-pan. It’s 1 less Celestial Brew, but it makes up for that with extra damage.
From what I’ve been able to find out, all the nerds over at wowhead/iceyveins simply came to that conclusion. I assume they know more about it than I do.
As for myself, I found my survivability to be far too garbage as shado-pan for BrM. It doesn’t help that BrM is by far the worst/squishiest tank in the entire game right now.
So much wrong i dont even know where to start.
Please… everyone in this thread look up equinox, sha, or check out warcraftlogs

derp. Thanks.
Shadow-pan is the best choice for brewmasters right now.
Chi burst is no longer useless which is nice. It does some massive DMG and healing now.
Shado-Pan are not exclusively ‘ninja’, and unleashing an overwhelming flurry of blows at high speed is often used in more eastern fantasies. Do I think it’s a great match? Not really because having a talent tree for Shado-Pan falls apart immediately applying it to any single class. Doubly so when it’s a human used in the icon.
I like shado-pan. It also promotes haste build
Take chi burst, it’s one of master of harmony’s biggest sources of damage.
“Flurry strikes” is the shado-pan hero ability. You’re probably thinking of “fists of fury”.
Both hero trees are viable.
I doubt OP needs the cutting edge, tip top numbers for content he is doing. Either hero I choice for most specs for solo content or low keys.
