Challenge mode as BM

[Deleted]

Starting our guild runs next week and I'm tanking as BM (did them all in MoP so kinda familiar with usual CM mechanics).
I'll probably be running with ChiEx - what secondary stat weights have people been using and did shifting them around make much difference?
Not really thrown much away from all the HC dungeon runs so I have a ton of crap to choose from ^^ - just want to pick brains so I don't reinvent the wheel.

Crit >Haste or Crit>Mast for instance?

Crit > Mastery will do you fine. Haste is still entirely ass. Get as much Bonus Armour as you can, and then load into Crit and Mastery.

I went with Serenity & mastery - if we do it again and go for better times I'll run ChiEx/crit. I just felt like it was the safest setup at the time and we didn't have much time to experiment.

Serenity is still nice for specific groups, for example the 4 caster groups before the tree boss in Everbloom - you can just spam Breath of Fire and they won't cast a single spell - but it depends on your group comp, you might not need it at all if you have enough interrupts.

Make your 2nd spec brewmaster with Xuen instead of RJW - it helps a lot on the last boss if you're tight on the timer.

Ah good call on the 2nd spec - hadn't thought of that.
