My Journey into Vengeance Demon Hunter - A Surprising Change

Introduction If you've been following the tanking scene in World of Warcraft, you might have noticed that the Brewmaster class has fallen off for high keys. Before the recent talent changes, it was a painful experience to tank half of the keys on fortified. Brackenhide and Freehold high fortified keys

Incorporeal Impressions

This week was the first live exposure to the incorporeal affix. One or two incorporeal mobs spawn that need to be hard cc'd or interrupted. If they aren't controlled, then they cast a stacking debuff reducing healing and damage 50%. It seems the number of incorporeal mobs that spawn is

Macros and Weakauras

Macros and Weakauras

This post will contain what I consider the key elements of my UI that are important and unique to brewmaster tanks. For starters it will cover important macros, scripts, and weak auras. Macros The most important macros for me are mouseovers for offensive/defensives abilities, mob targeting, and @cursor or

DF S2 Wk 2 Impressions (FORTIFIED)

I'm not sure if all tanks are feeling quite strong now or if it's just brew. It really seems like this season's dungeons favor themselves nicely to the brewmaster toolkit. Mainly I'm referring to lots of white melee swings and phsical tank busters. It just seems like we dodge everything,

S2 - Fortified impressions and recommendations

I spent most of my time today clearing normal and doing some heroic bosses for a chance at tier (I didn't get any). I did have time to farm some wyrm crests (kek) and do a 21 VP and 21 BH before calling it a day. As expected, on fortified,

S2 week 1 M+ impression

S2 week 1 M+ impression

DF S3 Day 3 Impressions

DF S3 Day 3 Impressions

Ok, going to make this a bit shorter today. Basically, brewmaster is still feeling strong. Also, tyranical keys are hard. Require strong plus sign class (healer) and good mechanics. Neltharion's Lair and Vortex pinnacle are BANNED until nerfed lol... Easily 3-4 key levels harder than other keys. Last boss in

DF S2 First Day Impressions

DF S2 First Day Impressions

Brewmaster feelin' very strong Not sure if all tanks are feeling this way, or if it's tyrannical week, or if brew is just good. Trash is not really ever lethal even on giga pulls. We have really good boss ability management (better than most tanks). Brew really seems to shine
