Brewmaster Monk Tank Gear and Best in Slot — 12.1

NEW! The Icy Veins app is here Try out the WoW Class Codex Addon with the Icy Veins app Download App

When first reaching Level 90 in Midnight, you will likely have plenty of low-level gear from questing equipped. Your initial item upgrades will largely come from further exploring the world and participating in Delves or Normal dungeons. Although the bulk of your ideal pieces of gear will come from selecting items within the Great Vault every week, raiding the Venomous Abyss on Mythic, completing higher keys in Mythic+, or even acquiring items crafted by Professions using the Crafting Orders system and Spark of Tides, not all of this content will be feasible for everyone.

Fortunately, gearing as a Brewmaster is generally simple for most item slots: use the highest item-level gear you can get while trying to limit unnecessary Haste. However, even an item that is 5 item levels higher with Haste will often still be an upgrade, so do not go out of your way to avoid the stat entirely. Rings are sometimes a different matter, as they do not contain Agility or Armor. However, unless you are trying to maximize your damage output, you can still safely equip a ring with a higher item level, no matter what its stats are.

Once you've acquired it, upgrading gear in Midnight continues to use the Crest system which lets you increase the item level of gear along tracks that relate to where you obtained the item, which harder content dropping gear that can be upgraded to higher Item Levels. For more information, read up on our dedicated page on how the gearing system works and what has changed in the Midnight expansion.

OverallMythic+Raid

This list contains the best loot for a Brewmaster Monk that is available from the Midnight Season 2 Mythic+ Dungeon Pool, the Venomous Abyss raid, and recommended crafted gear. If you are purely striving for the absolute best options including perfectly Catalyzed items, no matter the odds of obtaining everything, this is it; you certainly do not need to acquire every item here to complete all available content. this list also assumes every item is at its highest possible item level of 334 (or 331/344 for crafted/elevated items).

FAQWhich Tier Set Pieces Do I Want For Best-In-Slot?

Season 2 of Midnight features a new set of Monk-themed gear to collect, known as the Guile of the Monkey King set. Pieces of this armor can be earned from bosses in the Venomous Abyss raid, alongside any of the nine slots in the weekly Great Vault, and can also gradually be made at the Catalyst as a catchup system.

With the Catalyst inheriting the secondary stats and special effects of the original item, players now have massive flexibility in acquiring tier pieces with ideal stats in all five slots. assuming that you are both raiding and running Mythic+ as necessary, catalyze the following gear:

• Helm — Gaze of the Coiled Watcher from Ula'tek (if obtained at 344) or Crown of Roaring Storms (Ruby Life Pools)
• Shoulders — Snakeskin Spaulders (Altar of Fangs)
• Chest — Hide of Pestilence (Voidscar Arena)
• Gloves — Subjugator's Chilling Grips (Ruby Life Pools)
• Legs — Coiled Hex Legguards from Coiled Altar (if obtained at 344) or "original" stats ( Venomcured Relic from Sszorak)

FAQWhat Do I Pick From the Great Vault?

The Great Vault has up to nine slots of items you can choose from every week, based on what content you have done on your character. This also impacts the item levels of each slot, with Mythic raid bosses awarding fully upgraded Myth track gear! However, this wide variety of potential item levels also makes it hard to provide blanket recommendations. In addition, players may instead select either a Nebulous Voidcore or Tokens of Merit that can be exchanged for a Miasmic Jewelbinder. The power of these alternatives should not be underestimated, even if they may feel a bit "boring" in comparison.

Although you should always simulate your options in a given vault's rewards (including the value of an extra socket on pieces you'll keep for the rest of the season), here is a basic priority to follow on selecting rewards:

1. If you will be fully clearing the Venomous Abyss raid on at least Heroic, select a Nebulous Voidcore to bonus roll items from Ula'tek. Do so until you have obtained at least a Myth-track Voracious Heart of Ula'tek, Font of Venomous Rage, and/or Abyssal Broodfiend's Bardiche. Craft a Blood Knight's Impetus to use until you have obtained the weapon.
2. Choose the highest reward track items that can complete your tier set, ideally those that match our Catalyst recommendations for Brewmasters. Pay close attention to the Helm, Glove, and Leg slots, where there are many viable options at 334.
3. Select the highest item level pieces with minimal Haste, those from the best-in-slot lists below, or additional Nebulous Voidcores/ Miasmic Jewelbinders depending on your character's goals.

FAQShould I Dual-Wield or Use a Two-Handed Weapon?

In Midnight's second season, your best choice for a weapon is to use a 2h over dual-wielding for a slight damage advantage. However, the best-in-slot dual-wield choices ( Aman'muso, Warlord's Vengeance and Slithering Savage's Gavel) can offer similar performance, particularly in lower target counts. Equip whichever BiS setup you acquire first, defaulting to a two-handed option when you are choosing between gear of the same item level.

This table exclusively contains loot from the Midnight Season 2 Mythic+ Dungeon pool, alongside crafted embellishments. These pieces can be "farmed" without any limits, so long as you have access to a keystone for the dungeon in question. However, they will not be obtainable at their highest item level unless obtained from the Great Vault. This means the items here may not always be your absolute best-in-slot choices.

For pieces of your Tier Set in particular, you will be reliant on either the Great Vault or Catalyst to acquire them. If making use of the Catalyst, you may use any relevant Mythic+ item to create the tier item.

FAQWhich Tier Set Pieces Do I Want From Mythic+?

With the Catalyst inheriting the secondary stats and special effects of the original item, players now have massive flexibility in acquiring tier pieces with ideal stats in all five slots. Assuming that you are only obtaining gear from Mythic+, catalyze the following gear:

• Helm — Crown of Roaring Storms (Ruby Life Pools)
• Shoulders — Snakeskin Spaulders (Altar of Fangs)
• Chest — Hide of Pestilence (Voidscar Arena)
• Gloves — Subjugator's Chilling Grips (Ruby Life Pools)
• Legs — Leggings of the Galeforce Viper (Temple of Sethraliss)

TipsWhich Dungeons Should I Farm?

The following dungeons contain the highest proportion of desirable loot for a Brewmaster:

• King's Rest: Although it contains a limited number of "bis" items, this dungeon does still hold a massive amount of "good enough" alternatives, including weapons, and three slots to potentially catalyze early on.
• The Blinding Vale: An ideal belt and weapon for non-Mythic raiders can be found here, in addition to a viable ring and near-bis legs.
• Ruby Life Pools: Two ideal pieces to catalyze come from this dungeon ( Crown of Roaring Storms and Subjugator's Chilling Grips), with the helm in particular only being beaten by a 344 Gaze of the Coiled Watcher.

This table exclusively contains loot from the Venomous Abyss raid, alongside crafted embellishments. Although this loot is potentially easier to acquire, particularly for pieces of your Tier Set in their "original" stats, you will only have one chance to obtain gear per boss on each difficulty every week. In addition, there may be alternative items that are obtained elsewhere as part of your overall best-in-slot gear. However, these are the items to look for from just the raids.

FAQWhich Tier Set Pieces Do I Want From Raid?

With the Catalyst inheriting the secondary stats and special effects of the original item, players now have massive flexibility in acquiring tier pieces with ideal stats in all five slots. Assuming that you are only obtaining gear from the Venomous Abyss, catalyze the following gear:

• Helm — Gaze of the Coiled Watcher (Only at 344; Ula'tek)
• Shoulders — Frothing Venom Spaulders (Vashnik)
• Chest — N/A ("Original" stats from Vashnik)
• Gloves — Ruthless Slaughtergrips (Sszorak)
• Legs — Coiled Hex Legguards (Only at 344; Ula'tek, otherwise "Original" stats from Sszorak)

TipsWhich Raid Drops Are Most Important To Brewmaster?

The following items are the ones you should seek out first; some of them may be highly contested by other specializations, particularly in offensive trinkets:

• Abyssal Broodfiend's Bardiche: This weapon drops from Ula'tek, the final boss of the Venomous Abyss, and is your BiS piece. Only a few specializations can equip it, allowing you to potentially avoid crafting a weapon. What's more, when bonus rolled on Heroic with a Nebulous Voidcore, this item will drop in its Myth-track variant; on Mythic, it will instead be "elevated" with an additional 10 item levels.
• Aqirbane Reliquary: This necklace from Ula'tek is unique in many ways, being purely statted with Critical Strike, a second socket, and two cantrip effects that further empower your player. It is far and away the best accessory available to you.
• Voracious Heart of Ula'tek: A potent on-use trinket from Ula'tek that not only provides static Critical Strike, but also on-demand Agility and raw Physical damage. This choice was truly made for a Brewmaster.
• Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique: Not one, but both of your best-in-slot trinkets come from this raid. Due to its elevated item level (and optional synergy with a very rare one-handed weapon), this is one of them.

EnchantsStats

Trinkets are a gear slot that can provide shifting value across different areas of content. They are also the easiest piece to alter how offensive or defensive-minded you wish to be. Because of this, you should keep many of the trinkets you obtain and be ready to swap them out when the situation calls for it. If you are only interested in the absolute best general choices, then look to collect the damage/hybrid and defensive choices below.

Brewmaster Monk Best Trinkets

Damage/Hybrid - Voracious Heart of Ula'tek, Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique, or Tumor of the Swarm
Defense - First Mate's Shellward or Lustrous Golden Plumage

Bloodmallet can also be used to see a comprehensive grouping of all available trinkets for Brewmaster Monks organized by their damage capabilities. If the source of the trinket is not listed on mouseover, then it only appears from world quests or events and will be difficult to acquire.

Finally, note that the items are listed in order of their approximate strength, bearing in mind the item level or upgrade tracks players can obtain them at. If a trinket is not discussed here, then it is not worth seeking out or holding onto over higher item level alternatives.

Brewmaster Monk Trinket Rankings

Ranking
S Tier	Voracious Heart of Ula'tek - Why? With static Critical Strike, on-demand Agility every 90 seconds, bonus Physical damage that interacts with your tier set and the Shado-Pan talents, and an increased item level on Mythic, this trinket has absolutely everything you would want as a Brewmaster. Seek it out, even on Heroic. Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique - Why? While it may be part of a set effect with Aman'muso, Warlord's Vengeance, this trinket's baseline 3ppm effect is strong enough on its own to be a valuable pickup. The extra item level on Mythic certainly helps, too, as does its Physical damage being enhanced by both your tier set and the Shado-Pan Hero Talents. Font of Venomous Rage - Why? Its 4-minute cooldown is hefty, and you are unable to dodge attacks during its channel, but the damage output of this trinket is particularly exceptional in single-target. It is your strongest option for burst damage, especially at its Mythic item level of 344. Tumor of the Swarm - Why? Although this is a tank trinket, its damage is surprisingly potent while also providing a helpful stream of healing at a rate of 3ppm. In spite of splitting its damage among enemies, the total amount dealt per proc also increases, making it an incredibly passive, "hybrid" option for AoE.
A Tier	Lustrous Golden Plumage - Why? Perhaps your most useful on-use trinket if not able to receive "elevated" 344 options, this item provides a large burst of Versatility when you need for 20 seconds every 2 minutes. This lines up nicely with Invoke Niuzao, the Black Ox, but only for Master of Harmony Brewmasters. Tiny Electromental in a Jar - Why? Still just as strong as it was in Battle for Azeroth, this trinket builds roughly 20 charges per minute and unleashes Nature damage with every 12 accumulated. By also including a chaining effect, it remains potent across a variety of target counts while being an option that is easy enough to obtain from Mythic+. Freightrunner's Flask - Why? This trinket is incredible for Shado-Pan players in particular, as its 90-second on-use cooldown for bonus Critical Strike lines up nicely with the reduced cooldown on Invoke Niuzao, the Black Ox available to this set of Hero Talents. However, Master of Harmony users will still find it quite potent. Gebbo's Bottomless Bag - Why? This trinket can trigger one of seven different effects at a rate of 3ppm: Seriously Sharp Seashell — 12-second ramping Critical Strike and self-bleed; Brittle Torga Totem — Versatility buff, decaying with every ability used; Tattered Tortollan Scroll — 12-second Mastery buff, decaying over time; Slick and Slimy Gralstone — 12-second Haste and Speed buff; Rotting Voidfin — 12-second stat reduction to all secondaries; 50-Lb Midnight Salmon — 12-second buff to all secondary stats Even though there is a "dud" effect, all of these buffs are excellent and scale well into all target counts. It is easily among your best options for trinkets that can't reach the "elevated" item level of 344. Resonant Bellowstone Vashnik's Sanguine Rancor - Why? By offering benefits to its damage (triggering roughly once per minute) against only a single target and also against multiple, this trinket is a convenient universal and passive option for damage. Sapling of the Dawnroot Lightspire Core - Why? While this trinket does provide a useful amount of Mastery, remember that you must be able to stand in its light beam to gain its full benefit; this may not always be feasible in the middle of combat. Drum of Renewed Bonds (Crit) Keeper's Seething Core - Why? You may be wondering how a trinket with Haste can be placed so highly. This is largely because of the stat's potential to scale with your AoE damage in particular, while also triggering more applications of your 4-set bonus by helping to reduce the cooldown of Keg Smash. And, with a generous proc rate of 6 per minute, you will frequently trigger the 20% bonus effect as well! First Mate's Shellward Fiber of Living Agony
B Tier	Vile Vial of Volatile Venom Void-Reaper's Libram Mchimba's Ritual Bandages Effigy of Ula'tek's Faithful Void Execution Mandate Ruby Whelp Shell - Why? Much of this trinket's value depends on how you take advantage of the ability to "train" the whelp it spawns over the course of a week. By doing so, you can have it properly prioritize one of the following effects approximately once per minute: Fire Shot — single-target damage; Lobbing Fire Nova — AoE damage; Under Red Wings — 12-second Haste buff; Sleepy Ruby Warmth — 12-second Critical Strike buff; Curing Whiff — single-target heal; Mending Breath — AoE heal. Training it for the AoE damage effect in particular is ideal. More information on training can be found here. Tattered Amani War Banner Manaheart's Binding Flame Glorious Crusader's Keepsake Permafrost Essence Darkmoon Dominion: Void - Why? While this trinket can only be obtained at a static item level and will quickly be outscaled by "worse" alternatives, it is enhanced if paired with a crafted weapon featuring a matching embellishment ( Darkmoon Sigil: Void). Magister's Alchemist Stone - Why? This trinket is surprisingly strong for having an effect similar to alchemist stones of every prior expansion. However, in Midnight this item counts as an embellished piece of gear, making it difficult to justify.
C Tier	Spirit Ward Desecrated Chalice Lost Idol of the Hash'ey Darkmoon Dominion: Rot Toxiferous Transfusion Spirit-Rending Poison Idol of the Howling Nexus
D Tier	Ophidian Bone Whistle Darkmoon Dominion: Hunt Ultradon Cuirass Darkmoon Dominion: Blood

Patch 12.0.5 reintroduced some familiar systems to players, albeit in a new way: bonus rolls. With the help of the weekly Great Vault, you may choose an alternate way to obtain a guaranteed item from a given dungeon or boss loot pool at Hero or Myth track when completing the relevant keystone or encounter. To do so, you must unlock at least three slots in your vault, gaining the option to select a Nebulous Voidcore as your reward. Each roll will use one of this currency, and can include "very rare" drops when used after a raid encounter. In addition, any items you have already received this way will be removed from future rolls, eventually depleting the entire loot table!

For more information on how to acquire these items, be sure to check out our dedicated guide below.

Due to the wide variety of loot a player may have been offered over time by the Great Vault in particular, it is difficult to provide simple recommendations for where to spend one's Nebulous Voidcores. However, due to these voidcores rolling against the entire loot table of a dungeon or raid encounter, some locations are a more effective use than others for your most convenient power gains. In particular, items from the Heroic Ula'tek and Coiled Altar encounters will be obtained as Myth-track items when rolled!

Nebulous Voidcore (Bonus Roll) Priority

1. Ula'tek ( Abyssal Broodfiend's Bardiche/ Voracious Heart of Ula'tek)
2. Coiled Altar ( Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique/ Coiled Hex Legguards/ Sash of the Forlorn Vessel)
3. Ruby Life Pools (convenient items and pieces for the Catalyst)
4. Remaining BiS List items

When gearing, you have the option to utilize profession gear to a greater extent than ever before, including the ability to create powerful items at an item level of up to 331. However, acquiring items of suitable strength is limited by a unique reagent known as a Spark of Tides, which must be obtained from a variety of endgame content. Over time, you can utilize entire sets of crafted gear if you are willing to create them (with or without the help of the Crafting Orders system), but be warned that you cannot convert crafted gear into tier pieces at the Catalyst.

In addition to having customizable secondary stats, there are a variety of powerful optional effects that are either innately present on crafted gear or can be manually added with extra reagents. These bonuses are known as embellishments, and you may have up to two effects present on equipped crafted gear at a time.

Crafting Disclaimer

Due to the unique ability to roll a Myth-track Best-in-slot polearm featuring a bonus effect from Heroic Ula'tek with a Nebulous Voidcore, some Brewmasters may opt to ignore the common first-choice craft of a weapon. This should only be done if able to immediately acquire the Abyssal Broodfiend's Bardiche from a single roll; otherwise, stick to first crafting a weapon, replacing it when a Myth-track Bardiche is eventually obtained.

Due to the flexibility of crafted gear, such as the ability to specify your secondary stats along with your potential embellishment, you have many options available for gear to be created depending on items you have been able to obtain from other content sources. In general, however, some items are more likely to be useful for all Brewmaster Monks, which are listed below for convenience. For any items where you are able to customize their secondaries, we recommend using a Thalassian Missive of the Quickblade to select Critical Strike+Versatility.

For more information about crafting gear you can visit our Professions page.

Brewmaster Crafting Order

(Optional) ( Blood Knight's Impetus) ➜ Loa Worshiper's Band ➜ Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors OR Silvermoon Agent's Sneakers ➜ Optional Crafts

Crafting Order Full Notes:

• Weapons, such as Blood Knight's Impetus or Spellbreaker's Blade - Why?

  Made by Blacksmiths, crafted weapons can provide your biggest damage gain of the season. Depending on your goals for a character, crafting a weapon may even make sense as your first choice and can still feature a useful embellishment ( Hunter's Ritual Stone). If crafted, you will eventually remove this effect by recrafting with a Lucky Keychain in favor of embellishing a different slot.
• The Loa Worshiper's Band - Why?

  Made by Jewelcrafters, this ring comes pre-crafted with Critical Strike and Mastery, along with a unique embellishment effect that triggers roughly twice per minute and offers you a random Loa's empowerment based on your currently socketed gem colors:

  • Default (always available regardless of gems) — Blessing of the Capybara — 15-second Agility buff.
  • Garnet (Critical Strike) — Nalorakk's Call to War — For 16 seconds, gain a ramping Critical Strike buff.
  • Amethyst (Mastery) — Claws of Halazzi — Deal Physical damage to your primary target.
  • Lapis (Versatility) — Jan'alai's Flames — Deal Fire damage in an 8-yard AoE.
  • Peridot (Haste) — Akil'zon's Cry of Victory — 15-second Haste and Speed buff.

  All of these effects are helpful to a Brewmaster, though you are unlikely to socket any Peridot gems. The Lapis, meanwhile, tends to provide the largest damage gain, though you do not need to optimize your gems for these effects. Follow our regular gemming guide for Brewmaster instead.
• Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors or Silvermoon Agent's Sneakers featuring a Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier - Why?

  Made by Leatherworkers, crafted armor is an easy way to acquire a large amount of your preferred secondary stats while also nearly matching the strength of the absolute best-in-slot choices available for the season. These crafted pieces can also access an embellishment that doubles the effects of your Loa Worshiper's Band: a Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier. Consider this pair your best general set of embellishments for the season.
• Crafted Armor - Why?

  Made through Leatherworking and Tailoring, any armor piece can be crafted with your preferred secondary stats. Although their item level will be slightly lower, many pieces can remain competitive with their best-in-slot alternatives and can even contain the Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier embellishment instead if necessary.
• Engineer-crafted Armor, such as Aetherlume Bands or Aetherlume Runners - Why?

  Although these items are made by Engineers, they can both be worn by players without the profession and uniquely feature only one secondary stat instead of two. They can also be embellished with some quality of life enhancements that do not count toward the normal cap of two, but can only be used in outdoor content. Consider making one of these pieces with either HU5H, Nonchalant Pup, Kinetic Ankle Primers, or M3DDY, Travel-Sized.

Midnight's second season includes currencies called Mistcrests, obtainable from practically all forms of content in the game. They can be used to upgrade gear up to Item Level 334, which is Mythic Raid Item Level. They can also upgrade Crafted Gear up to 331 as well.

Given the near-universal nature of gear upgrades, it can be difficult to figure out what items you should invest your limited amounts of Mistcrests in each week. As the decision will ultimately be based on what items you have been able to obtain, listed below are some guidelines and "wishlist" items to upgrade as soon as possible:

Brewmaster Monk Crest Upgrade Priority

Weapon ➜ Trinkets ➜ Helmet/Chest/Legs ➜ Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots

Throughout this page and elsewhere in our guide, we regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots. This is because every character is unique, and each gear piece you have access to can change what is best right now for you.

While we do offer recommendations for gear and trinkets, these are not complete replacements for simming yourself. The only way to truly optimize your character to that degree is by making use of the tools available!
