Introduction

Hey everyone, I’m Nate, a main tank for Method, and welcome to the Brewmaster Monk Guide for The War Within! I’ve been playing Brewmaster for many years, and this guide is here to help you master the specialization, from Stagger and damage smoothing, to your rotation and all the utility you have to offer.

If you have any questions you can find me on my socials:

In season 2 of The War Within, Brewmaster is looking pretty solid. There hasn’t been a lot of change coming from season 1, but in this guide I will walk you through how to get the most out of our beloved green class.

Strengths

  • Extremely Durable
  • Strong Offensive Output
  • Versatile Utility and Crowd Control
  • Hypermobility
  • Mystic Touch

Weaknesses

  • Complexity
  • No spec unique utility
