Monk Guide for Mop 5.0

Monk tank guide for World of Warcraft MoP 5.0.4. Here, you will learn everything you need to know about playing.With Mists of Pandaria nearing release, the monk class is rounding into its final form. Cheapest World Of Warcraft Gold, While a few things may still be tweaked, Monk Guide for Mop 5.0the design and abilities have now stabilized enough that I feel comfortable presenting you with a series of guides for each specialization. This week: brewmasters!

Brewmaster is the tanking specialization for the monk class. Themed after the classic Drunken Master, your job is to keep the enemies busy trying to hit you while your compatriots take them out. Any race, except for worgen and goblin, can play a monk. Like all monks, they have two resources that must be managed; energy and chi.

Energy functions identically to rogues and feral druids, as a 100-point pool that regenerates at a constant rate, in and out of combat. This energy regeneration can be increased with haste, and is used to power your basic attacks. These abilities don’t do much on their own, but they build up the brewmaster’s second resource: chi. Chi is a static 4-point pool, wow patch 4.3 gold,similar to a rogue’s combo points, that decays when out of combat. Once you’ve built up a few points of chi, it can be used to power stronger abilities that do significant damage, provide self-healing, or make you more resilient.

Stagger and Shuffle

Instead of blocking, self-healing, or dodging like the other tank classes, Blizzard designed a new mitigation mechanic for Brewmasters, called Stagger. At base stats, all physical attacks will only hit for 80% damage; the remaining 20% is added to a DoT that ticks for 10 seconds. A second Staggered attack resets the DoT timer and increases the DoT’s damage, and this continues until you die, stop taking attacks (which allows the DoT to run its course) or you remove the DoT via Purifying Brew.

Monks are extremely capable in every role: damage, defense, and healing. Monks,So why aren’t brewmasters purifying machines? safe panda 90 gold.Well, Purifying Brew costs Chi, Monk Guide for Mop 5.0and you need that Chi to Shuffle. This short-duration buff gives you 20% parry and 20% more Stagger (the damage split becomes 60/40, instead of 80/20), which is a very good thing. Unfortunately, the primary way to get Shuffle is via Blackout Kick, which is hard on the chi. You’ll need to balance your usage of Purifying Brew with your Shuffle uptime for best results.
