Peak of SerenitySkyholdTwitterWoW at NightWhat Changed in Patch 8.3?

Stamina bonus reduced to 30% (was 35%).

Fixed a bug causing Gift of the Ox orbs to spawn too often for players with high amounts of Stamina.

坚定不屈 - Stagger is 8%5% more effective at delaying damage.

What Changed in Patch 8.2?

热酿, a Brewmaster Monk PvP talent, was changed to split its damage across all nearby enemies, instead of working like a normal AoE.

That's it? Really? Really.

Basic Information

All races can be Monks except Goblin, Worgen, and Lightforged Draenei. They lack discipline.

Weapon Options: Staffs and Polearms!

Iconic Abilities: 醉酿投, 火焰之息, 铁骨酒, 活血酒

Flavor Effects: 禅意飞行 is a fun bit of neat Monk flavor. It’s not a replacement for a flying mount, but it is useful as a slow fall mechanic!

Legion gave Monks a talking class mount who regularly teases you for drinking too much and being overweight: 班禄，大宗师的伙伴.

Nice class title:

Alliance

库尔提拉斯人 - The best Alliance tank race. Absolutely worth playing unless you haven't unlocked them/don't want to be thicc.

人类 - The second-best Alliance race, and 外交 is the best out-of-combat bonus available to any race.

Horde

血精灵 - Mythic+ superstars (奥术洪流), above-average in raids due to 奥术敏锐 - but not #1.

至高岭牛头人 - The best Horde tank race overall, but lacking the unique Mythic+ power of Blood Elf.

亡灵 - The highest single-target DPS race due to 哀伤之触, but only by a tiny margin. 被遗忘者的意志 adds a valuable CC break.

Pandaren

熊猫人 - Still great. Don't hate.

Alliance

库尔提拉斯人 - Added in Patch 8.1.5, Kul Tiran Humans make truly excellent Brewmaster Monks. Their passive 英勇无畏 is incredibly powerful, and makes them the best Alliance tank race, hands-down. Assuming you don't die or overheal (both of which are possible, of course), this equates to another 2% damage reduction. Wild. 强力一击 is an interesting CC and displacement tool, and while the cast time is lame, you can move while casting without interrupting the cast, so it's still decent enough.

人类 - A good race option due to 自利 and 人类精魂. 外交 is an extremely nice non-combat bonus, as well.

暗夜精灵 - An alright option due to 迅捷’ dodge chance (although Monk’s Mastery diminishes its value considerably), but 艾露恩之触 is unfortunately much better during the day than at night and *most* players run dungeons and raids at night.

黑铁矮人 - An Allied Race unlocked in Battle For Azeroth who can be Monks. Their racial spell 饱经战火 is a decent bonus for tanks, but it falls far short of the Kul Tiran Human bonus.

Horde

赞达拉巨魔 - Added in Patch 8.1.5, Zandalari Trolls are a noteworthy Brewmaster Monk option. While they were initially noteworthy for being extremely bad, 再生！ was quickly hotfixed to no longer break upon taking damage from Stagger ticks. This has upgraded Zandalari Trolls from "Bad" to "Really Solid." The ability to Roll out of danger and quickly heal up is extremely nice, although obviously a lot more valuable in Mythic+ dungeons than in raids. Duh. 帕库之拥 is the best overall Loa racial option. 卡格瓦之拥 is slightly better for overall damage reduction and 邦桑迪之拥 is slightly better for maximizing single target DPS, but 帕库之拥 provides a superior mix of offensive and defensive value. It is a strong AoE DPS option, and that's really where tank DPS matters most.

血精灵 - The crit chance from 奥术敏锐 is valuable, and while 奥术洪流 was changed from a silence into a dispel, that's still amazingly powerful in BFA dungeons! Blood Elves remain a top-tier racial option for Horde tanks of all classes.

至高岭牛头人 - The passive Versatility bonus from 登山家 and damage reduction passive 皮糙肉厚 stand head and shoulders above all other defensive racial abilities for Horde tanks. 蛮牛冲撞 also provides a mobility tool and AoE CC. Highmountain Tauren make amazing tanks, and their heritage armor looks great.

亡灵 - While they sim very slightly ahead of Blood Elves and Zandalari Trolls as the best DPS Brewmaster race due to 哀伤之触, don't buy into the hype. The difference is extremely small and Undead offer limited utility aside from that damage proc. 被遗忘者的意志 is good, but that's about the only unique thing they have going on.

Pandaren

熊猫人 - The iconic Monk race and a top-tier option for either faction. 美食家 is reasonably competitive with every racial stat or throughput ability, and 弹力轻功 is valuable more often than you’d expect. While 震山掌 is somewhat underwhelming, it can provide a third instant CC button in a pinch.

Battle of Dazar'alor

With Battle of Dazar'alor's unique faction-changing elements (players will face a few bosses as members of the opposing faction!), Pandaren stand out clearly as the best Brewmaster race for this raid. While races such as Blood Elves & Dark Iron Dwarves are competitive with Pandaren, the races into which they change when crossing factions are a step down. For example: Zandalari Trolls get a significant upgrade into Kul Tirans, but Kul Tirans get a significant downgrade when forced to be Zandalari Trolls. Pandaren remain Pandaren. Simply the best!

Surviving burst damage: 醉拳 and 铁骨酒 allow Brewmasters to smooth out damage much more effectively than other tanks. This makes them require more healing than other tanks, but makes it easier for healers to keep them alive, and 天神护佑 helps out with the extra healing load.

Celestial Fortune: Brewmasters’ limited self-healing makes them reliant on their healers, and they are designed around requiring more healing than other tanks in addition to their lack of self-healing. 天神护佑 massively increases their healing intake and gives them a unique value for Crit that is unparalleled in other BfA tank design.

Simplicity: Monk has a simple, basic offensive rotation. It's easy to learn and... still pretty easy to master - and with 0 offensive cooldowns to manage, there really isn't much complexity to the class. Because playing the class is relatively simple, this affords you more attention to devote to what's going on around you, focusing on enemy positioning, raid mechanics, etc.

Mobility: 滚地翻. 魂体双分：转移. 迅如猛虎. Most tanks would kill to have half the mobility of Monks.

Versatility: Not the stat - although it's not bad! Monk's greatest strength is just "they have no weaknesses." There is almost nothing that a Monk can't tank as well as (or better!) than another tank - except AoE damage.

Brewmaster Monk Weaknesses

Dealing AoE damage: 醉酿投, 火焰之息, 碧玉疾风 are your entire AoE toolkit. Monks have decent single-target damage, and their rotation is smooth in all situations, but their damage is around the bottom of the pack among tanks in AoE.

Extremely limited self-healing options: 玄牛之赐 orbs are basically all you have in terms of self-healing. They add up - but you will need to rely on your healers to keep you alive. It’s not easy being green. (Actually, it is.)

Limited defensive cooldown toolkit: 壮胆酒 is your only baseline cooldown. It's great, and 醉拳 is strong enough for most situations, but one cooldown is all you've got and it's not a lot.

What Makes Brewmaster SpecialTanking Overview

Fantasy: A master of martial arts who excels in smoothing damage. A brewmaster is always prepared, using the resources they have on hand to decide how to survive.

Resources: Energy, which is spent to generate Brews, a resource shared between their damage reduction abilities. Ox Orbs, which are a unique healing resource.

Damage Reduction: 铁骨酒 and 活血酒 to smooth damage intake and to reduce damage taken.

Healing: 玄牛之赐 drops healing spheres around the monk, providing a strong heal when walked over. They can also use 移花接木 to draw the 玄牛之赐 orbs to them without walking over them.

Basic Rotation: 醉酿投 on cooldown and to pick up adds, and spend extra energy on 猛虎掌. Both of these will generate brew resources for active mitigation. You can also use 火焰之息 to pick up adds, and fill empty places in your rotation with 幻灭猛击.

Mobility: 滚地翻, which provides a flexible and frequently usable quick burst of movement. 魂体双分, which is a teleport that requires planning ahead for quick long-distance movement.

Defensive Cooldowns: 壮胆酒, a particularly strong defensive ability on a long base cooldown, but can be greatly shortened through active play. 禅悟冥想, a great tool to deal with damage on a long cooldown, but harder to time against instant abilities. Other options are available through talents.

Artifact Weapon: 福枬，云游者之友. A staff topped by a swinging keg with a unique shoulder-resting animation.

Armor: Agility leather

Flavor:
The 昆莱山 is a special Monk-only area reachable via 禅宗朝圣. This area has Monk trainers and many lore-flavored NPCs, as well as quests that teach you the importance of various abilities. Later, the same ability will be used to access our class order hall.

The Monk Class Mount, 班禄，大宗师的伙伴, acquirable through completing 突袭墓穴 and a small questline afterwards.

Monks have many vanity glyphs: 武道精神雕文 makes the Monk bow after Touch of Death, 猛虎出山雕文 changes the color of Rising Tiger Kick, and 伏虎闪雷雕文 changes the color of Crackling Jade Lightning.

冥想手册：禅意飞行: teaches 禅意飞行. Sold by 黄师傅 in Peak of Serenity.

They can acquire and equip the legendary weapons 埃辛诺斯战刃, 瓦兰奈尔，远古王者之锤, and 雷霆之怒，逐风者的祝福之剑.

Monks can't get their hands on 巨龙之怒，泰蕾苟萨的寄魂杖 sadly.
They're unable to get the starting quest, even in mistweaver spec.

Overall a great guide. The most you can get though, for people like me, is actually getting into the game and going. As for BFA so far, I feel BrM are still very good overall(no surprise). I’ve ran most mythic dungeons in the first week and you feel squishy until about 320-330 ilvl. After that you feel completely in control depending on your healer. I’ve ran with a holy pally and Mw mostly, hot healers are always going to agree more with BrM. The biggest problems that I’ve noticed in the mythics were the mob sizes. We forget we don’t have legendaries no more so the real WoW is in full affect. I personally run guard and it’s just more streamline on a very short cd
