Halleluja, Brewmasters are back in business baby! (somewhat, if you can figure out how to tank using 25+ actively used keybinds...)

[Nephod]

They keep making small changes to disc, and I welcome them, but we need better atonement transfer in dungeons. A boy can dream...

i dont know.. i think they screwed up Brew too much to fix this with mere numberscaling.
at this point its just bloated with unneeded stuff (hello shuffle, why are you even a thing)
additional abilites that dont do anything about tanking and noone asked for (looking at you, rising sun kick)
stagger just something blizzard tries to work around instead of emphasise (does next to nothing against magic, dots and debuffs, so lets throw big cooldowns at monks to compensate)
abilities that are such a joke you dont even use them anymore (tiger palm? more like wet-noodle-palm)
abilities with effects that are just weird (clash is already clumsy. to top that it does zero against half of the enemies you fight, not even move YOU towards them if they are immoveable)

dont get me wrong. blackout hitting 3 targets? kegsmash resetting firebreath? all cool and fun. but the most of brew just feels bad, dull or unnecessary and bloated.

Agree, worst thing about Brewmaster (and Monks in general) is too many rotational abilities. I don’t mind Rising Sun Kick (the animation is cool!) and was glad to see it back, but it’s just another button to hit for Brewmasters. Surely it could have been merged with Expel Harm.

Oh yeah, I 100% agree, the rotation is silly. There is waaaay too many active buttons to press.

But this buff at least should bring our self sustain out of the bottom of the gutter.

[kiramon]

Can someone explain what the 8/4 for harsh discipline is? (Obviously the 4 is the smite casts, but what is the 8?)
(By far the coolest, most fun talent in all of disc tree)

I don't find it too bad (I have enough keys for everything, so it's not frustrating). However compared to every other class except maybe priest now, monks have way too many keys.

Some classes like BM hunter can't even fill up two bars lol

[Cosmic Janitor]

Evoker

• Soar can no longer be cast while rooted.

I'm sure this was a major concern and effected everyone... who happened to be rooted.. and no longer in combat.. yet despite that brazenly taking off, or something.
But how about fixing your gui not properly updating stuff like arcane charges?

Every 8 casts of smite, you get a free penance that fires 4 additional bolts.

We can use 2 talent points on Harsh Discipline. 1 point gives us an empowered penance (extra bolt) every 8 smite casts. 2 points invested gives us the same bonus, but every 4 casts.

[Darbycrash]

Another nail in the resto shamans coffin.

Harsh Discipline is 2 point talent. It reads you need to cast 8 smites with 1 point investment and 4 smites with 2 talent point investment to trigger it.

Woops. Totally never realized it was 2 points. Cuz it should be 1 point, lol
