[ribthanwa]

come someone elaborate on the tiger's lust debuff removal on Coven? Does that clear the healing debuff? Or the stun?

You can use Tiger Lust to remove the Tank debuff given by the Frost boss every 3 stacks, negating the need to tankswap when Frost/Shadow are up.

I think the tips should be organized in the OP though, so that they can be browsed easily.

why the salt over brm and varimarthus ?

u only tank it for maximum of 10 seconds and u CAN purify while having misery buff + purify from T20 healing orbs

what u do is ,, u make sure that once u get the shadowstrike , u purify and expel harm ,, with mystic vitality even hc strike doesnt take me below 60%

We can take on extra stacks from kin'garoth

Extra stacks is generous, the fight is easily 1 tankable by most tank specs on heroic anyways, but brewmaster can literally face roll it.

Gorothi Worldbreaker mythic.

When targeted by tank bombardment debuff, double dash to the end of the room (left side for example) and then calmly run to the boss, bombs will fall just behind you and will not damage you. Use transcendence to save charges on dash or roll.

Isn't that like a normal strategy?

Windwalkers, Mythic Garothi: I don't know if any of you are like me, but I constantly die to the decimation dot. Idk if it's our class, or just my healers don't heal me as much. But I have found out that Eye of the Tiger + Transcendence: Transfer lets me survive every dot.

His hitbox is so huge that you don't really have any off-time when you're getting knocked back.

Besides, port more than covers any movement needs, I feel, were you to be down on both Rolls, FSK and Tiger's Lust.

I went elusive dance on Vari and i was fine.

That's an interesting take, I have not thought about using elusive dance.

I'm having a hard time with Varimathras and stagger pausing feels so unnatural. I think purifying might fit my playstyle better (ie, lazy).

Edit: Nevermind, did the fight last night. I found that 1 or 2 (at most, rarely) purifies made the fight basically laughable from a BRM tanking standpoint. I listened to people saying to 2x pause stagger or 1x pause then 1x purify and I feel loading that much damage on the backend was unnecessary and could put strain on healers. Just purifying enough to live through was good enough for me - and more importantly I was able to go HAM on DPS (95% ilvl parse). One shot it that way.

This has apparently been changed. I did it last night and was knocked back.

Did you have a disc in your healer comp ?

No it hasn't. I guess your timing was just off. There has nothing been changed.

I am also very sceptical regarding the 2x stagger pause+1xpurify on Varimathras.
1. You need to generate 3 brews every 20ish seconds. Do we really generate that many with the cookie cutter 14.3% haste?
2. You are completely not using brew-stache at all. All the brew-stache get triggered during off tanking phase.

I run HT and class ring (mystic vitality). I use a personal CD every shadow strike (fortifying brew, dampen harm, zen med if you time it right, 2x on use trinkets), purify right after and I expel harm after misery drops. I have no issues at all, yes even without a disc.

Many roads lead to rome. Many ways work for Brewmasters dealing with the Debuff from Varimathras. Your Way with Purifying, Cooldown-Rotations and Stagger-Pause will also work. You easily get enouth Brew Stacks intime. And the regular damage of the boss is so weak that you dont have to have ISB up 100% if you are unsure about handling the shadow strike. And depending on Raid Setup, Trinkets/Leggos, you don't need to purify so you only need 2 Brews everytime. With BoB not a big deal at all.

No we run RSham, RDruid, HPally, HPriest usually
