    Brewmaster Tank Video?

    I have a WW monk that I really enjoy, but want to tank from time to time as BM for fun with some friends in 5 mans when needed. I have a Prot Pally that I can also use but WW will be my Legion main so I want to use him at 110 for a little bit of tanking since it'll be a decent amount of time before my alts are max. I've read through the IV post and it's super helpful, but I'm much more of a visual learner when it comes to explaining some of the basics I should be doing. I've tried digging around YouTube but it seems pretty out of date all the videos I find, even from the Beta. Does anyone have a good video they could link about the essentials of Brewmaster tanking I would be super grateful. On a side note, is BM a viable leveling spec for when Legion launches? I imagine that would be a great way to get used to the skills/priorities that I should be using if it were viable.

    Thanks!

    This is TW stonecore. I just queued for a random one to record some, that's what happened. It's supposedly easy but we did mistakes everywhere. Our wipe was mainly due to additional trash that wasn't really planned, I had no brew charges going in there.

    I deleted most of the run besides the funny parts. The big bar that changes colours from green->yellow->red is the old stagger bar from sunnier's that still works. Below is ISB duration, the drops are remaining brew charges.

    Are you using an addon to display those cooldowns in circles or is that just WeakAuras? They look nice!

    It's just ElvUI, weakauras and masque for round buttons.

    Set Masque to have WA use round buttons.

    Just copypasted through a bunch of not-a-robot-captchas, poke me if I screwed things up. LUA errors are a lie.
    I didn't really differentiate between specs, so there are a bunch of inactive icons/rings you might want to delete if anything is causing issues, like that it's more of a *general monk* set.

    I'm also still fiddling around with it all, wager you'll have to do the same to really make it work, including incorporating wahtever fancy trinkets/on use, tinkers or whatnot you got running. Duplicate icon/ring in one location and hange the trigger, that's about all.

    Awesome aura set up Meob thanks for posting it up

    One question though, the textures for the ring timers around the auras, is there a database you got them from?

    By this I mean the "circle1thicker.tga" textures

    Crap, I was certain I changed it back to use the default ring (think I made another one to get a sharper contour)

    - I hope that's the fitting circle. The Aura looks for the texture under Interface\Textures. It's just a circle.

    Well another stupid question... How did you get the avatar to display in the unit frames or that something in the Elvui settings?
