Brewmaster tanks use leather armor and rely on dodging attacks and staggering damage to survive. This is but a part of their toolkit.
Stagger - most damage is taken instantly, but a portion of it is added as a debuff that ticks over time. half effectiveness against magic.
Purifying Brew - clears 50% of staggered damage
Elusive Brawler - gain a stacking chance to dodge when hit or using certain attacks. resets when you dodge an attack.
Shuffle - increases damage staggered from each attack.
Hypothetically speaking, would they do well or would they just fall over?

are you saying add a new class to vanilla classic, or MoP? you should add clarity. because, if its about adding a new class to vanilliclassic, its not going to happen… js.

I am not. I’m asking as a hypothetical if a class had these mechanics could they succeed.
Does it have a taunt?
Yes → Yes
No → No
Without doing any math or even looking up how any of the spells/skills work, I’d say it greatly depends on how well they would be able to hold threat, as the question is mostly whether they would be competitive with warriors.
Would they be able to hold threat as well, while doing comparable damage? If they could hold threat as well, they would likely replace warriors in a lot of raids, but not as many as if they could do comparable damage as well.
It does have a taunt, yes.
Uh… its actually really good… especially if a guy wants to play a monk its kinda BiS dude.
I can’t imagine ever having the desire to play anything from retail
Curious why anyone is even talking about retail in this classic forum tbh.

no idea, but they keep doinit and I try to send em over to MOP & TWW as is needed.
Oh god. Now I understand your original reply lol. You were asking them why not keep that crap in MOP.
Funny, because at the time I was replying to you I was thinking “damn I thought this guy was a Classic andy like me”
You have to understand the only thing 90+% of classic players on these forums will accept for c+ is that paladins get a taunt, and they finish like two quest lines.
To them thats “classic plus” enough… soo no it wont work.

some times text just does not communicate all the intent, but that was my bad. =/
Yea I think it would work great.
The only problem with monk is that it’s healing spec uses mana and it’s other specs use energy. So they would need to figure out a solution to that.
Yea I tried playing MoP and the class design and CATA leveling is just horrendous.
I don’t see why adding more classes wouldn’t be fun in classic. The era players might dislike it like everything else they gatekeep and hate, but who cares more fun the better.
