Introduction

Hey everyone, I’m Nate, main Tank for Method, and welcome to the Brewmaster Monk Guide for Midnight! I’ve been playing Brewmaster for many years at the top level, and this guide is here to help you master the specialization! From Stagger and damage smoothing, to your rotation and all the utility on offer, this is your one stop shop.

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

In Midnight, Brewmaster has been very simplified. There’s been a ton of changes to remove button bloat and in this guide I’ll walk you through everything and 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:

  • No spec unique utility
  • Lack of Defensive cooldowns

What has changed

Midnight Brewmaster Monk 12.1 Changes

With Patch 12.1, Brewmaster received a handful of buffs to improve quality of life. The most notable of which was a huge absorb buff to Celestial Brew and Celestial Infusion, increasing their amounts by 150%, but with the added downside of doubling their cooldown. This inherently nerfs Master of Harmony, but overall improves the effectiveness of Brewmaster, making brews feel like an actual cooldown now.
