Import string for this indicator can be found here. This element will help you know firstly when you do not have it up, and then how long its duration is so you can anticipate spending for another blackout kick. As this is your light active mitigation, its very important you know EXACTLY when your shuffle is expiring, and without it maximized properly on bigger pulls, you can easily find yourself dead within a few globals. If the Stagger indicator is the bread, the Shuffle indicator is the butter, as the two go hand in hand. To add this element, follow this link.Ĭopy/paste the text into the “Import” section and it will automatically appear on your screen in the same position I have it! Here is an example of the indicator in game, isolated.

Its important to also remember that with this indicator you can monitor how dramatically your stagger is increasing, allowing you to make an on-the-fly decision about spending on its clear. Having the percentage based indicator is really the key part, and without such, we would be misinformed about when to clear, as the default Blizzard aura only shows past Red stagger. As the correlated color scheme gets further progressed, the Weak Aura visual indicator will go from see-through to opaque. This indicator will show you exactly what level your stagger is, as well as a percentage-based indicator. The stagger indicator is EASILY the most important part of this entire set up, and will be your best friend, especially in five man content with 10-20 mobs attacking you at once. It may all look rather confusing, so don’t worry, we will break it down piece by piece.
#BREWMASTER STAGGER FULL#
Here is a full UI screenshot of the set up I am currently running. Ever since learning these tricks, I have easily doubled my success as a Brewmaster tank, and will do what I can to pass this knowledge on to you. I was completely in the dark, and while I had a small addon to monitor cooldowns, I basically was playing blind and just using things as they became available. To preface this, my first Challenge Mode 9/9 gold set was completed on my Brewmaster Monk, BEFORE I learned about the UI elements we will discuss today.

Things like Stagger and Guard, or monitoring Shuffle are supremely important to the spec’s longevity, so be sure you understand exactly how each works beforehand. While this isn’t a “from the ground up” guide on the spec, I will certainly take some time to help people understand that if you are seeing anything we discuss in this article for the first time, you want to read more into it. The first thing everyone needs to understand is just how many buffs and debuffs this spec plays around. Today we will be looking at Brewmaster Monk, the latest tanking spec that has been added to World of Warcraft, and discuss how Weak Auras and UI elements can turn your play from misinformed to GODLIKE! The experience I have with each spec is almost purely through Challenge Mode dungeons, and can say these design elements can make or break your play and will tell you if / when you are ready for that next step. As mentioned in the Podcast, if you aren’t playing with proper Keybinds, Macros, or Addons, you might as well be missing a hand compared to players who are! These guides will be focused on players who already understand the class/spec and are looking to elevate their game to the next level.
