Currently, brewmaster is just awful for solo. It's better to just swap to WW with two green weapons and tank trinkets. Why? Because stagger effectively mitigates nothing and you end up taking all the damage anyway. Add this to the fact that tanks already do a good bit less damage than DPS (rightfully so), and it paints a pretty grim picture for doing any content solo as brew without a pocket healer. But after my time on WW, there is a very easy fix that would make BRM quite tolerable while doing solo content, without making it OP for group content by giving it too much self healing, and th…

I've tanked this whole expansion as a tank who's cleared every tier on mythic (not competitively, but we only raid 2 nights a week). So keep that context in mind for my feedback. Encounter Design:Overall, the raid design team did well. Fights were fairly unique and challenged different groups in the raid at different times. There were too many instances of cheesing mechanics via immunities but you've seemed to be getting wise to those as the expansion progressed. Bosses were generally visually appealing and cool.Now for the main pain point: instant raid-fail mechanics. I understand at a c…

05/30/2018 10:43 AMPosted by MêphistonI like the monk class for dps and healing but I like tanking as well.I can't bring myself to play a brewmaster because of the lack of self heals. I don't mind stagger too much on its own but being 100% reliant on a healer is a recipe for disaster. I mean most dps have better healing than brew does. It's awful.Brew really needs its absorb shield back. Even a set CD on its heal outside of when orbs drop would help astronomically. If you knew every 8 seconds you could heal some damage they would feel so much better to me.This is why I will be maining a D…

05/30/2018 09:36 AMPosted by SmorkedHmm, what if the CDR provided by TP and KS for brews also applied to BoF and BoS had some sort of a proc attached to it like a chance to reset CD of Keg Smash?That would certainly make the rotation more fun and dynamic, but at this point in the beta process I'm not expecting any big changes, just number tuning. We're only ~10 weeks out until BFA, half that until prepatch (and prepatch will probably hit PTR any day now).I am going to keep providing feedback, however, in the hope that maybe it sees the light of day in time for 8.1.

Since I only really tanked this xpac, that's going to be the primary perspective for my post.At a high level, I believe M+ is the single best, most successful, and fun system blizzard has ever introduced to this game. I can't praise it enough, and it actually made Legion as a whole a positive expansion, DESPITE the debacle that was the legendary system and how alt unfriendly the expansion was. Keep this in mind, as M+ did so much right, I feel like the only things worth highlighting is where it needs to improve.Balance:It should come as no surprise that this is up here. Balance has been pre…

05/24/2018 09:15 AMPosted by FenierWarriors are stronger during AM downtime, and competitive vs melee during AM up time. You can argue you don't have enough health, because you *do* have the lowest modifier, but I don't feel you have a compelling case when it comes to armor.This post was spot-on, and this last part is really the key point. Warriors and paladins don't have an additional armor gain because what other tanks get is COMPENSATION FOR NOT HAVING PLATE + SHIELD. I'm not trying to say warriors are in a great spot. They are basically considered the worst universally among long-time…

Yeah, I don't actually know anyone who has played since MOP and feels like their class has improved since then. Most classes were vastly more fun to play. This ESPECIALLY applies to brewmaster & windwalker.

05/23/2018 02:03 PMPosted by ReeseBalance is more than just numbers. Its about kits too. The abilities that make up a class are just as important as the numbers. Do you know why DKs are the best class for M+ on live? They have Group leech, high self-sustain, tools for positional control, combat res, etc. Those aren't numbers. They are abilities that DKs have just for being a DK.If you look at the DH kit and compare it to other kits, its just so far and beyond the other tanks have for M+.Now you're just arguing semantics. I said exactly what you did, I just believe "balance" defines only numb…

05/23/2018 12:36 PMPosted by MettlebrewYou had me until you mentioned cancer.io... I do agree seasons would be really fun tho.I just used it an example of how I imagine it would work. For this to become something that would work, it would have to become a real in-game feature, similar to arena rating, item level, etc.

05/23/2018 10:57 AMPosted by TewaThe big problem with M+ is that it's so class variable. Unless they can put all the other tanks on equal footing with Blood DK's, for example, they shouldn't be adding any additional rewards to M+.That's fine, it's a request going forward. Balance is an ongoing process, and there's no reason they couldn't put more effort into making classes viable for M+ like they do for arenas.
