Dude, Ive played a brew master for a while now. And I always look for new guides to stay up to date. I have to say this is an amazing video, its too the point, it covers all the information, you explain reasoning and not just "THIS BECAUSE ITS BEST" . I am impressed by the high quality of this, how informative it is, and defiantly giving you a sub because Id love to see what more you have to say on things. Im also totally sharing this with my regular team so they can finaly undertand how Stagger works. Nothing more stressful than being on20-50% stagger with no brews, but at 100% health so the healer/dps are like YOU'RE FULL LETS PULL NEXT GROUP.. then they are like "Whoa where did 50% of your health go before we even started" THE FOOLS XD Thank you, keep up the good work!
I appreciate it! I try to make 1-2 videos a week, but got a little slower during the holidays. I figured I'd spend extra time on stagger because, as said in the video and your comment... its not understood. That person actually said that to me...
@@ZaniacTV I showed this to my healer, and his first question was "Wait.. so you still take damage after the fights over, even if we kill the mob that hit you can did the stagger damage to you... for up to 10 seconds AFTER the fight? ... Fuck that explains a lot..."
Hey Zaniac that was very informative! I am the same as you with really aiming to be more self sustaining, I think you should give chi wave a try it made a huge difference for me with a self cast macro (since it does a lot more healing than it does damage), 168% attack power heal every 15 sec , while eye of the tiger does 52.5% AP in that period. but you are right its an extra button you have to press which can get annoying
The grove invigoration soulbind says on wowhead you get 8 stacks, but in the game as a monk you get 4 stacks when you use faeline stomp ... which is still great considering you get 100% uptime on it and resets increase the number of stacks
Thanks for the update! Unfortunately due to the way the game is, I couldnt test it. I had to go based on the tooltip. So basically cut my numbers in half
As someone who has mained dps my entire wow life, brewmaster is my first time trying tanking and it is scary hard to learn. This video walked me through everything I need to know and I feel 100% confident going forward that I can do it. Very well put together and I’m glad you showed your reasoning for stat priority because I’m not a fan of relying on healers either so I’ll be grabbing mastery. Thanks a bunch
If u still run on Mastery as ur priority how does that work for u now especially on higher keys? Cause i did that unconsciously, but I realized since M+8 and higher also raids it's not working well for healers. I think ur are right that increase ur attack power and that increases some of ur abilities, but still even u mentioned BM monk passive that stacks mastery so u can use it for Celestial brew to empower it, but like i said the problem is in the long run where u need to endure a lot of pressure and that is still the best with Versatily as ur prior. So just curious here if the Mastery still works for you?
Hi, got to your vid by looking to learn brewmaster- very detailed and nice explanation of stagger I also find your weakauras awesome - is it possible to get it somewhere? Thank you in advance
@@ZaniacTV yeah thats what im fiddling with now, i used to use an add on that tracked it but it doesnt look like any of them have been updated sense mop
On your debuffs, there is one called low stagger, medium stagger, and high stagger. The colors are green, yellow, red respectively. When I say "turns red" that means you're in high stagger.
@@ZaniacTV ah ok got it.. So ifnit turns red then you should use the purifying brew and the celestial brew.. Because i heared to use purifying brew on cd
@@ambrox1985 theres a little more to it than that. I'm actually making a video fully going over when to use purifying and celestial. But on a beginner's standpoint, it's best to use purifying brew during high stagger to clear damage. Using purifying brew will empower celestial brews absorb shield as well
I still don't really understand the stagger... like.. what exactly do I do? Do I just use the abilities that shuffle and it staggers? If that makes sense-
Stagger splits your damage taken. Shuffle increases the amount it splits. Using keg smash, blackout kick, and spinning crane kick will grant shuffle, which doubles your stagger amount. So what do you do? Keg smash on cooldown. Blackout kick. Cast spinning crane kick when you have multiple enemies. You never want to have shuffle fall off. And it wont, you can have 100% uptime on it. Clear your stagger when it's high, and all that extra damage goes away
not nesessarily. clearing stagger is incredibly situational. I will be making a detailed video in the future the best times to clear. I sometimes do it in yellow, for sure in red, but even occassionally in green.
Dont feel dumb! I purify in yellow sometimes too. There are situations where you need to. It's based on your purifying chi count. I'm working on a video going in depth on how to celestial brew the most efficient way, part of that will explain when its appropriate to purify in yellow
I think you are mistaken with the mastery, until you are hit you dont gain dodge bonus, so your base dodge bonus does not include your mastery, once you are hit one time youll have your dodge bonus plus the 8% (assuming base mastery) and each time you are hit or use kick without dodging you get multipliers of the bonus
Fortifying brew is only used in extreme circumstances due to its long cooldown. When DBM tells you to "use defensives" as the active metigation, it depends on which boss it is. Shuffle should be up at all times and most of them can be handled by shuffle. Some are dodgeable so you will want a blackout kick (Sanguine Depth's Kryxis headbutt for example), or if you want to be proactive with celestial brew, thats fine too (Sanguine Depth's Grand Proctor Berylla if I dont pop Celestial Brew during Iron Spikes I tend to dance with death). If celestial brew has a few stacks of purifying chi to make it more powerful it could fully absorb the hit. However if you see an active mitigation standpoint that shuffle is enough for, thats when you use purifying brew to clear that excess stagger. Fortifying Brew on a practical level would be used if your healer dies or if trash gets overpulled or something crazy. When you get more comfortable in dungeons, I pop fortifying brew on really hard trash packs that I'm going to use Touch of Death on (the 20% HP increase increases the window of opportunity to use ToD). Hope this helps!

@@wolfenwolf yup! It's over 10 seconds! 13 if you take the talent. It cant kill you but getting hit by the next enemy will.
@@ZaniacTV He knows that now! Years of me telling him ignored, but your videos made it click in his head lol :D
@@wolfenwolf I'm sorry I find that hilarious
Nice video really enjoyed the stagger breakdowns. Would love to see a total mythic breakdown of the final numbers.
mythic breakdown as in what the mobs usually hit for in a m+?
You are entertaining and explain so clearly. This very easy to listen to, very detailed, and informative.
Amazing guide! underrated channel
thank you for the support!
Hey Zaniac that was very informative!

Best guide on Brewmaster I have seen. Please make one on Mistweaver for Shadowlands.
so helpful, thank you, keep them coming!

This video is helping a lot. Have a Sub :)
Can you make a video on setting up a Brewmaster UI?
Are you going to also make a mistweaver guide before caste nathria release ?
my videos are usually tailored around mythic plus, but I am mid mistweaver video, should be released soon
If u still run on Mastery as ur priority how does that work for u now especially on higher keys?

Hi, got to your vid by looking to learn brewmaster- very detailed and nice explanation of stagger
I also find your weakauras awesome - is it possible to get it somewhere?
Thank you in advance
all of my weakauras are available for free on patreon.com/zaniactv
enjoy!
what stagger meter do u use if any? almost all ive tried are drasticly out of date for shadowlands
I dont. I use blizzard UI. I see it on my party frame. But there are weak auras you could use to track stagger
@@ZaniacTV yeah thats what im fiddling with now, i used to use an add on that tracked it but it doesnt look like any of them have been updated sense mop
Hi, im really new with monks and i dont get what you mean at the rotatiin section if your stagger turns red?! Where can i see that?!
On your debuffs, there is one called low stagger, medium stagger, and high stagger. The colors are green, yellow, red respectively. When I say "turns red" that means you're in high stagger.

@@ZaniacTV Oooh okay thank you
So you only suppose to purify in the red???
not nesessarily. clearing stagger is incredibly situational. I will be making a detailed video in the future the best times to clear. I sometimes do it in yellow, for sure in red, but even occassionally in green.
I must ask, what transmog set is that lol
The hat is from Argus. The rest is nighthold. The tabard is lorewalkers. Weapon is mage tower challenge mode
Rip.....I been purifying in yellow cus I didn't know. Now I feel dumb.
Dont feel dumb! I purify in yellow sometimes too. There are situations where you need to. It's based on your purifying chi count.
I'm working on a video going in depth on how to celestial brew the most efficient way, part of that will explain when its appropriate to purify in yellow
Is brewmaster good in PvP
no, brewmaster is considered the worst spec in pvp.
I think you are mistaken with the mastery, until you are hit you dont gain dodge bonus, so your base dodge bonus does not include your mastery, once you are hit one time youll have your dodge bonus plus the 8% (assuming base mastery) and each time you are hit or use kick without dodging you get multipliers of the bonus
When you're running a dungeon, and you have to use an active mitigation does shuffle count as that or do you need to use Fortifying Brew?
Fortifying brew is only used in extreme circumstances due to its long cooldown. When DBM tells you to "use defensives" as the active metigation, it depends on which boss it is. Shuffle should be up at all times and most of them can be handled by shuffle. Some are dodgeable so you will want a blackout kick (Sanguine Depth's Kryxis headbutt for example), or if you want to be proactive with celestial brew, thats fine too (Sanguine Depth's Grand Proctor Berylla if I dont pop Celestial Brew during Iron Spikes I tend to dance with death). If celestial brew has a few stacks of purifying chi to make it more powerful it could fully absorb the hit. However if you see an active mitigation standpoint that shuffle is enough for, thats when you use purifying brew to clear that excess stagger.
Fortifying Brew on a practical level would be used if your healer dies or if trash gets overpulled or something crazy. When you get more comfortable in dungeons, I pop fortifying brew on really hard trash packs that I'm going to use Touch of Death on (the 20% HP increase increases the window of opportunity to use ToD).
Hope this helps!
