[HELP] *Official* "Fix My Monk" Thread

[keqe]

Hey there! I am a Brewmaster Monk and i play in Tarren Mill(EU). Throughout my WoW career i have played mostly tanks. I have been playing this monk since late MoP and had cleared a few HC bosses on SoO with it(pre-nef) and always kept it as an alt untill WoD hit and i chose to make it my main tank! From the day i started HC highmaul i have never really felt i am taking a huge amount of damage from bosses and i am currently using mastery build, neither did i ever have any problems while tanking a particular boss in general, in short i LOVE this spec dearly! But i think my guildies aren't very much impressed with my tanking skill(its not that they said in it my face, but i was told to roll ww last night and got replaced by a DK), and this sudden address made me really anxious. The problem here is basically this --- I dont know what i am doing wrong! I have tried asking a friend of mine who helped as best as he could and finally referred me here. Please help me out. Show me a way, I just wanna know what i'm doing wrong

Hey all - the guild had me tank Normal BRF so I have a few fights here if I can get some help - not exactly sure the best fight in BRF to post (i'd assume for HM it is Butcher)...

I'm struggling with DPS. I'm probably also struggling with other things (pretty fresh ding, rerolled very recently from a DK), so I'll gladly take any input on this as well, but primarily I want to figure out what I'm doing wrong/not good enough in order to DPS.

Recently I've taken a liking to ChiEx as it simplifies many factors a bit for me (resourcemanagement gets simpler at least), and deals more damage at the same time. However, I'm very much aware that it's a heavy hit to survivability as I might drop shuffle much more than I find to be appropriate for progressing days (yes, we are not high tier and far away from any Mythic progression as of now). The problem is running Serenity.

With ChiEx I can pull numbers equal to that of my DK (16-22k, depending on fight and my personal amount of current retardation), which I think is fine. I don't feel like I'm harder to heal than my co-tank, and healers havent complained about it either despite my constant nagging about it. With Serenity however, my DPS sinks to shit. I posted on Icy-Veins a week ago, and I got some pointers (not enough Xuen/Serenity usage during fight, prepotting (lol I forget), and focusing on basics before DPS, not missing Keg Smashes), which I've taken to heart and worked on. Shuffle duration is improved from last week, but could probably still use work. I also need to purify a lot more when running Serenity to be less paper.

Statwise I started off running Mastery and Versatility, with crit following and as little haste as I can manage. I've since then bumped crit a little higher on the list, as Versatility just doesn't feel like it's worth it due to the expensiveness of the stat before it starts mattering.


My questions, finally, are as follows: What am I doing wrong? Are my statchoices bad? Am I failing rotations in any regards? See the first log for my Serenity run on Gruul. You can clearly see my DPS is shit.

My own thoughts: I'm probably missing too many Keg Smashes. I also think my stats are a bit too widely spread and needs more focusing. I might also be expecting much more than my gear allows, but that's a cop-out because one can ALWAYS improve. Beyond that I'm just struggling to see what's going wrong here.

Help appreciated.

So I decided to switch over to a monk tank and did normal highmaul to get into the groove, my gear is different then it was during the run, i bought/crafted more after my highmaul run. I basically want to see what I could improve on/focus on more and fix in my tanking, before I try to get more into BRF with my guild

Hey folks, I recently rerolled MW for my raid team from RDruid. Last night we attempted Heroic Blackhand for the first time. I have a few areas where I feel like I am underwhelming for this fight, so any help would be great.

Armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...mmonk/advanced

Logs: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports...8#type=healing

In phase one during the waves of Demolition I'm typically in ranged group, and my rotation will look something like this:

TFT, RnM/Expel Harm to 4Chi, Uplift, Uplift + Chi Brew, then a 3rd uplift and more RnM. Demo phase ends.
Compared to my other healers, my total healing at this point will be around 1.5m compared to their 3m+. Is that simply because I'm limited by using Chi, or am I being stupid?

We stack in a Disc Bubble for the floor collapse, followed by my Revival on the way down to P2:

For P2, please see the last 3 pulls in particular. I started going into stands to heal at that point and took Chi Torpedo. Should I remain healing in the stands? It seemed to help the melee burst adds easier with another body soaking the Shattering Smash split damage.

Overall, I feel like my Chi gain/waste is in a pretty solid spot. Perhaps I am wrong though. If anyone can give me any ideas of what to be doing better (Do my uplift casts seem low, are there too little RnM's out on the raid? Too many? Is my raid team just taking too much avoidable damage?)

Thanks so much for any help y'all can provide!!

So for a quick glance, I think your using ReM and uplift just fine. Expel Harm should be used everytime for a quick Chi, and it said you used it 9 times, so perhaps use it more (make a weakaura for it).

Also, take RJW instead of Chi Torpedo. Just going to be so much more important in p3. I like how you used Crane Stance at beginning, which is fine and a good idea to get some stacks of mana tea going.

As for your Revival, I honestly recommend it during the demolition crashes (usually after the second crash aka second orange swirly). The damage from the iron star during the transition between p1 and p2 isn't a big deal, as everyone should be near top, and its easy to heal everyone back up before the tank arrives and before the melee need to go on stands.

[Sacul]

Thanks for the reply, Kickbuttmario.

I'll definitely make more use of my Expel Harm. Good call. I'll take RJW again. In the early stages it seemed to be a pretty major mana sink with low output, but I see your point for P3 planning.

Will likely follow your revival advice tonight since the comp is changing with some missing players.

if there's any other bad shit going on someone sees, lemme know!

Ok so I am usually in the 60th to 70th percentile on logs and am a bit stumped as to where I need to improve my rotation and timing. I normally have 95%+ uptime on both rising sun kick and tiger palm. If someone could please point me at where to look in the logs to improve myself?

You didn't use TEB on pull and you only used TEB on fists of fury, and missed the chance of using it during the 2nd Serenity.
The trick of using TEB on pull is starting the fight with max chi (using expel harm before the fight) so that you can build up stacks fast during the opener and use whatever stacks you have, after you TP'd + RSK'd + ChiBrew'd. I'm no expert (so take this with a grain of salt) but this is what I'm doing on Gruul.

Would like some general advice. Not a specific log but if you're bored enough, you can dig through some of my other Heroic parses as well. Hans/Frans kinda screws me around the 2 minute mark a bunch and I'm not entirely sure why. I want to try to squeeze out to the 85-90% percentile. Any advice helps. Thanks boys.

Hopefully you can really drill these logs. I really want to try to squeeze out every drop of damage I can.

Your uptime for rising sun kick is 57% (on Hans'gar and Franzok), you are not benefitting of that 20% damage buff for 43% of the time. That's something you want to work on to get your dps up.

Some things I noticed-I need to use ChiBurst and be better about using Expel Harm on CD. I think I sit on 3 stacks of ReM too much. I have only been mistweaving for about two weeks, but I am not real happy with my performance thus far. It also doesn't help I am healing with a disc/Hpally I think. Thanks!

I also want to add that I go up on the balcony for every smash in P2.

Well on the kill you provided... you're problem was what you died.\

In the time up to your death, you were missing tons and tons of casts. I suggest you take a look at the guide to make sure you have the right attack priority.
You let Tiger Power fall off for a good chunk of time.
Rising Sun Kick debuff uptime was not even 80%, should be 100%.
You used FoF 5 times, you should have used it 9 times. Its our best attack, needs to be used on CD.
Serenity 2 times instead of the 3 you could have had.
15 out of 28 RSK casts
9 out of 24 Chi Wave casts.
Your TEB usage doesn't seem to line up with FoF or any procs at all.

I also recommend going Dampen Harm for Gruuls as it lets you take 2 Inferno Slices with reduced damage per cast, to Diffuse Magic's 1.

Our recent BM who has gone WW now asked me to get some help for him.

Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...nflakes/simple (Probably in tank gear but he has the 680 Meaty Dragonspine Trophy + the 670 Scales of doom. He used Dual wield then I believe, x2 670 Bladefists)

If anyone can pinpoint what can be done to improve it would help us out greatly.

[doomedq]

So rising sun kick debuff should be up at least 95% ideally 100%, he only had 87% uptime. Also the shattered hand enchant is not the best. I would ask him why is not using the glyph of blackout kick so that it always applies the dot. It also looks like he can improve his TeB usage, he can and should use it with less than ten stacks.

Alright, I noticed the 87% on the debuff there. I guess he just didnt have time to replace the enchant but I'll get on it. Thanks for your reply mate, I'll pass it on. And also btw when is a good time for the TEB around about what number of stacks.

Thanks.

[doomedq]

Ok so that is what is holding me back from breaking the 90%tile. Right now I am using it before every fist of fury and also for serenity on single target. I am not totally sure for aoe, I suggest reading the TEB post on the monk page.
