Introduction

Hey everyone, I’m Nate, a former analyst and 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 simplified alongside other classes. There’s been a ton of changes from The War Within and in this guide I’ll walk you through everything and how to get the most 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
  • Lack of Defensive cooldowns

What has changed

Midnight Brewmaster Monk 12.0.5 Changes

With Patch 12.0.5, Brewmaster didn’t receive much love outside of some Master of Harmony buffs. These buffs seek to make Master of Harmony more competitive with Shado-pan, most notably on AoE through priority target damage with Harmonic Surge.

Changes:

  • Harmonic Surge redesigned and renamed to Potential Energy
  • Potentiel Energy redesigned - Casting Keg Smash grants a charge of Potential Energy
  • Updated tooltips for a handful of Master of Harmony Hero Talents
