Brewmasters have no significant changes this patch, and only a handful of insignificant changes. The most interesting features of this patch will be the reintroduction of valor upgrades, the new world event Battlefield: Barrens, and the next stage of the legendary quest line.
It’s been a little more than a year since brewmasters became playable on the MoP Beta. And my, have things turned out differently. We went from using Guard as our primary active mitigation tool, to spending most of our time channeling, to finally kicking our enemies in the face to reduce damage and loving crit. Here is a look back at the changing state of brewmasters.
As a brewmaster, you’re most likely going to be kiting bats for this encounter. It’s what you’re good at, might as well embrace it. The downside is that if you fail, it’s a guaranteed raid wipe. So don’t fail (I did – lots of times).
Trinkets for tanks are no black-and-white matter. There are trinkets that are good for burst reduction and time-to-live, while others are good for avoidance, total damage reduction, and DPS. Trinkets are the best way to change your stats for what you need at a moments notice, and because of that, there is no true best-in-slot pair. Ideally, you should collect a handful of trinkets with various specialties and swap them in depending on fight requirements.

Hi again, I’m back again to muse about the DPS side of the monk triforce. I’m seeing a lot of confusion among Windwalkers since the 5.2 patch, and I’m here to help. Monks are still struggling with representation in raids, and there are a lot of questions out there while the answers are not very simple.
Ok, that last one isn’t so much a question, but it’s a common sentiment in the monk community. I want to address all these questions/ideas and help out any monks that are struggling to keep up in dungeons and raids.
