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.
For a full list of changes see below:
- Chi Transfer now causes Touch Of Death to heal you for 60% of damage it deals (was 50%).
- Vigorous Expulsion increases Expel Harm’s healing by 6% (was 5%).
- Silent Sanctuary healing increased by 25%.
- Stagger reduction from Staggering Strikes increased by 25%.
- Spirit Of The Ox chance to generate a Healing Sphere increased by 20%.
- Celestial Brew and Celestial Infusion absorb increased by 150% and cooldown increased by 100%.
- Awakening Spirit’s maximum absorb value increased by 25%.
- Vital Flame heals for 50% of Fire or Nature damage dealt (was 40%).
