I showed the talents I've been playing in the video but wanted to put the build here for reference too: www.wowhead.com/beta/talent-calc/monk/brewmaster/master-of-harmony/DAQAFVREVRFEFUUSBkFDAFFPVFVVAVBVBUQFRVQCBBEFVVUCAQ
Sure! I'll include this in a pinned comment too, but here's what I've been playing most often and really enjoy: www.wowhead.com/beta/talent-calc/monk/brewmaster/master-of-harmony/DAQAFVREVRFEFUUSBkFDAFFPVFVVAVBVBUQFRVQCBBEFVVUCAQ
I really enjoy both but they have almost opposite playstyles. Blood takes huge chunks of damage and immediately heals them back up, Brew takes almost constant but extremely steady damage and is able to do some self healing but will eventually die without some minor healing. I REALLY like the changes both of these classes/tanks have received going into TWW so far.
Great vid m8. Bone dust brew and white statue were very clunky. Chi wave going passive i thought was great but i forgot its how i pull split packs etc... i never liked chi burst but I'm sure one of the hero talents require it?
Hey thanks for the comment! There's two talents on the Master of Harmony tree that interact with Chi Burst, but one of them is just a damage buff that also applies to Chi Wave, and the other is on a choice node where the other choice doesn't interact with it. Optimal use of Chi Burst with both of those talents might be the "best" choice, but I don't think it'll be so far ahead that it's required at all. There's one talent on the Shado-Pan tree that gives some healing based on damage done by Chi Burst, but again it also applies to Chi Wave (and Expel Harm too), and that one is also on a choice node so you don't have to play it.
It's a shame they didn't figure out a way to make Bonedust Brew work. I think it could have been a power integrated with keg smash or another rotational ability. Something like "after using X many purifying brews your next keg smash causes Bonedust Brew" or something. I loved the ability so much in Shadowlands, but the button bloat of Dragonflight for Monk really put me off Brewmaster.
Bonedust brew burst windows in Shadowlands definitely felt really good, but several things definitely had to go in Brew's arsenal. It felt like it had a more complex rotation than many DPS specs in Dragonflight, heh!
@@ThordrenekGaming yup. Monk had just an absurd number of active abilities. I respect anyone that was able to keep track of them and execute their rotation.
I'm no PvP expert so I can't give a good prediction here. The last time I did RBGs was in Shadowlands Season 1 and at that point it was kind of Guardian Druid or VDH and no other tanks were wanted at all. I do recall Brew being played in the AWC I think in season 2 of Dragonflight, but that's definitely not something I would bank on.
@@ThordrenekGaming Hey, I was referring to the set on the Dwarf character. But you hovered over it in one of your videos :D seems to be War Within set ;)

Another fantastic video! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you! :)
This is a great video, I’m leaning towards brm or prot war at this stage for tww and haven’t tried beta so these are helpful
Thank you! Glad you're finding these helpful. It's hard for me to pick between Brew, Prot, and Blood DK. I think all three are looking pretty good :)
@@ThordrenekGaming im trying to choose among exactly the same specs. gonno be rly hard.
so happy about the button bloat going down.
Even just removing a few buttons honestly feels so good for Brew. I love the spec and it's in a great spot right now!
Good video, very informative. Have a subscription and a like :)
Looking forward to the druid video!
Thank you! Gonna be working on it tonight!
Heya brotha thank you for this!
Mind sharing a couple talent set ups youve been testing or trying?

What do you think of brew vs blood? I alternate between tank and dps, and am sooo torn on what to play. Ive usually mained dk but monk is looking cool
I really enjoy both but they have almost opposite playstyles. Blood takes huge chunks of damage and immediately heals them back up, Brew takes almost constant but extremely steady damage and is able to do some self healing but will eventually die without some minor healing.

Thank you for the guide. Any chance we can be pvp viable?

@@ThordrenekGaming I’m gonna find out 😸 Brewmaster is the only tank I like. I did 2v2 arenas in Legion and that was fun
@@leftyzappa Nice! Let me know how it goes!
@@ThordrenekGaming I will! Kinda debating on getting Beta just to see for myself.
Hey man! what is that chest armour you are rocking there ?
On the thumbnail? That's the Dragonflight Season 1 tier set, specifically the Mythic variation.
Thanks for the comment! :)

@@TobiasWVolledal Ah gotcha, sorry for the misunderstanding! Yeah it's the season 1 set for TWW :)
@@ThordrenekGaming nothing to be sorry about💪
you should rotate your intro to emulate different wow content creators...
my eyes are hurting me from watching this abomination of a talent tree :)
