Tank Rotation & Cooldowns

This rotation offers a general priority list for Brewmaster Monk abilities, along with key cooldowns at the bottom. It's based on a standard build and is here to help while we work on a smarter, build-aware system. Updated for the latest patch in World of Warcraft: The War Within (11.1.5).

Single Target

Activate Rushing Jade Wind before combat and establish Shuffle.

Maintain Shuffle with Keg Smash and Blackout Kick. Use Breath Of Fire for Charred Passions and Rising Sun Kick with Press The Advantage. Fill with Chi Burst and Tiger Palm.

AoE

Activate Rushing Jade Wind before combat and establish Shuffle.

For AoE, prioritize Keg Smash and Breath Of Fire for damage and buffs. Use Blackout Kick to maintain Shuffle and Spinning Crane Kick for 3+ targets. Fill with Chi Burst.

Cooldowns

Use Fortifying Brew and Dampen Harm preemptively for survival. Zen Meditation is ideal for casted abilities, while Diffuse Magic counters magic damage. Invoke Niuzao, The Black Ox aids with Stagger management, and Touch Of Death is for execution.
