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.

Throughout Dragonflight Brewmaster was notoriously button-bloated and that scared a lot of people away from trying it out, but now I’m happy to say that in The War Within it’s a lot better! So whether you’re new to the specialization or a frequent flier, you might find our beloved green class much more appealing now.

What has changed
Recent Changes in Patch 11.0.5
With Patch 11.0.5 there unfortunately weren’t a lot of changes for Brewmaster Monks. There were some minor changes focusing on the Shado-pan hero talent, which numbers wise leaves the spec slightly better than before.
Shado-pan Changes
- Blizzard introduced a new trackable Flurry Strike buff to track energy expenditure
- Flurry Charge duration removed (was 30 seconds)
- Flurry Strike Energy Strike is now 240 (was 300).
- Flurry Strike Damage reduced by 8%.
- Wisdom of the Wall duration reduced to 16 seconds (was 20).
- Against all Odds duration reduced to 5 seconds (was 6).
