Brewmaster Monk Tank Liberation of Undermine Raid Guide — The War Within (11.1.0)

• When to taunt: After every cast of Tank Buster from The Geargrinder. Be aware that this will also apply a bleed to you and force the boss to be repositioned out of the Oil Slick created underneath itself on Heroic.

• For the most part, there are no unique cooldown timings to worry about for optimizing your damage. However, there are times when The Geargrinder will take 100% more damage from Mechanical Breakdown. Aim to trigger Aspect of Harmony in these moments. You may also wish to maximize Weapons of Order uptime here, but this will depend on your raid's skill at triggering Mechanical Breakdowns at appropriate times.

• You will frequently have to reposition in this encounter due to its mechanics; focus on keeping The Geargrinder near the edges of the arena.
• Consider making use of Summon Black Ox Statue to help gather any Geargrinder Bikers that are not actively dashing toward a player.
• Make use of Leg Sweep and other AoE stuns to prevent Pit Mechanics from casting Repair.

• Heroic: Additional Oil Slicks will be created, encouraging proper positioning throughout the encounter to avoid running out of safe areas.
• Mythic: Geargrinder Bikers will send Oil Canisters flying upon death, which must be caught by players and used to refuel Geargrinder bikes to trigger Blaze of Glory.
• Mythic: A Support Rig will appear during each Tune-Up, which must be tanked away from other enemies due to High Maintenance.

• When to taunt: Swap which tank has each boss after every Colossal Clash. Be aware that your Stagger will not count as mitigation for reducing the Nature damage of Torq's Lightning Bash!

• There are no unique cooldown timings to worry about for your damage.

• Flarendo and Torq must be kept at least 45 yards away from each other at all times due to Raised Guard.
• Make use of Transcendence and Lighter Than Air to negate the fall damage from Flarendo's Eruption Stomp.
• Limit your movement while in range of Torq to avoid being stunned by a buildup of Static Charge.

• Heroic: Flarendo gains the Molten Phlegm ability, preventing players from stacking. In addition, his Scrapbombs create Molten Pools.
• Heroic: Torq gains the Voltaic Image ability, summoning temporary adds that fixate non-tank players. Help keep them away with Ring of Peace.
• Mythic: Tiny Tussle creates small toy versions of each boss, which must be carefully kicked into each other on a delay to reduce the damage dealt to the raid. All must be dealt with before each Colossal Clash. As a tank, you will largely ignore this mechanic.
• Mythic: Voltaic Images will automatically detonate and create Lingering Electricity pools. Torq will additionally create Zapbolts on random locations throughout the encounter to force you to move and risk triggering Static Charge.

• When to taunt: Swap tanking duties based on your stacks of Tinnitus from the boss's Sonic Blast autoattacks. Be careful not to cleave your co-tank or other players, as Sonic Blast hits in a cone!

• There are no unique cooldown timings to worry about for your damage. However, be aware that Rik Reverb takes effectively no damage during each phase of Blaring Drops due to his Sound Cloud. Focus on your survival at these times instead.

• You will need to regularly move Rik Reverb between various Amplifiers in the encounter area due to Resonance.
• Amplifiers that reach full energy will trigger Blowout! to avoid Blaring Drop. You may also avoid one Drop per phase with Transcendence.

• Heroic: Players must rotate in activating Amplifiers due to Lingering Voltage.
• Heroic: Sparkblast Ignitions appear that must be destroyed to prevent a Grand Finale. Attacking them will also grant Excitement.
• Mythic: Players can become Entranced by being hit by multiple mechanics in quick succession. Focus on your dodging!
• Mythic: Sound Cannon must have its damage split by the raid. Any player brought below 75% health will become Entranced.
• Mythic: Players must trigger a Static Jolt with Faulty Zap in order to remove an Amplifier's Feedback Nullifier.

• When to taunt: After every cast of Demolish. The tank affected by its debuff should be automatically chosen for Rolling Rubbish. However, due to fight timings you may occasionally need to tank a Meltdown with this debuff. Be prepared to commit extra defensive cooldowns such as Dampen Harm or Diffuse Magic.

• There are no unique cooldown timings to worry about for your damage. However, there are times when enemies may take 100% increased damage due to Messed Up. Aim to trigger Aspect of Harmony in these moments.

• While on Rolling Rubbish, focus on rolling into garbage piles to maximize your size; as a tank you will likely be rolling into a Discarded Doomsplosive. If this is not your duty, instead focus on collecting Junkyard Hyenas and Scrapmasters to apply Messed Up to them after triggering Garbage Dump on the boss with your ball at maximum size. Do not forget that you can also Leg Sweep them afterward!
• Heroic: Territorial Bombshells can be destroyed with a Rolling Rubbish in an emergency, though you should instead focus on quickly repositioning the boss for maximum cleave damage on them when possible.

• Heroic: Stix Bunkjunker gains the Meltdown ability, inflicting heavy Nature damage to the current tank. Avoid being the active tank against this ability while you are debuffed by Demolish as much as possible.
• Heroic: Territorial Bombshells appear during each phase of Electromagnetic Sorting, and cannot be moved or displaced until they have reached 75% health due to being Territorial.
• Mythic: Prototype Powercoils appear during each phase of Electromagnetic Sorting, dealing increasing Nature damage to random targets. In addition, Scrapmasters summoned during Electromagnetic Sorting gain The Recycler, instantly defeating a player if they are not stopped. Be ready with Touch of Death in an emergency.

• When to taunt: Based on your stacks of Gravi-Gunk. Try to have the tank without any stacks receive the Pyro Party Pack mechanic, running out of the raid in the process. Shado-Pan players can take advantage of Protect and Serve with Vivacious Vivification while away from the healers.

• There are no unique cooldown timings to worry about for your damage.

• Take advantage of Transcendence and your mobility to reduce the damage your raid takes from Pyro Party Pack.
• The metallic edges of the conveyor belts can be run on to avoid being moved by them.
• Plan your movements ahead of time; not every player is as mobile as you and capable of handling sudden boss repositioning.
• Heroic: As a tank, you are well-suited to dealing with Foot-Blasters. However, you cannot trigger more than one every two minutes without committing heavy defensive cooldowns due to the Unstable Shrapnel debuff they apply.

• Heroic: Foot-Blasters are placed in set encounter locations over time and must be triggered over time to prevent the raid from wiping due to multiple Unstable Explosions.
• Mythic: Polarization Generator applies Posi-Polarization or Nega-Polarization to members of the raid. Coming in contact with the opposite polarization triggers a Polarization Blast. In addition, Foot-Blasters are polarized and must be detonated by the same polarity to avoid a Polarized Catastro-Blast.

• When to taunt: After every use of The Big Hit. You will also create a Shocking Field under your feet when hit by this ability; be sure to drop it near a wall!

• There are no unique cooldown timings to worry about for your damage.

• Position the boss next to your preferred Reel Assistants during each period of Spin To Win!. Remember that you can see which tokens are available based on the graphics over each Assistant's head.
• You will only see Bomb token Reel Assistants during every even cast of Spin To Win!. Prioritize them when present, as these are some of the most favorable mechanics you can opt into.
• Be mindful of the blue Pay-Lines; aim to acquire the High Roller! buff from them if you are safely able to. Being Crushed! as a tank is especially dangerous for your raid!
• As a tank player, you are responsible for triggering any Coils that have been created from depositing Shock tokens during Spin To Win!. They will automatically activate once when first created, but after that time you must manually click on them (suffering a massive Physical hit) to activate them and remove 2 Shocking Fields that have been created from The Big Hit. Keep the room clean, but do not overuse the coils.

• Heroic: Explosive Gazes from the various Dynamite Booty adds created by depositing Bomb tokens during Spin To Win! apply an additional DoT if they reach their target.
• Mythic: Reel Assistants are equipped with Dark Lined Cuirass (DLC), preventing them from falling below 25% HP. Your raid must roll a chip created from Pay-Line over the Assistants to be able to defeat them during each Spin To Win!. Be careful not to get Crushed!!

• When to taunt:
• On Mug's half of the room, after each cast of Molten Gold Knuckles. Note that this ability hits in a cone; be careful to not hit other players or your cotank.
• On Zee's half of the room, after each cast of Double Whammy Shot. You will need to be the first target hit by the ability, receiving a Perforating Wound in the process. Be aware that Stagger and your Celestial Brew do not count as mitigation for reducing the damage dealt to the raid.

• There are no unique cooldown timings to worry about for your damage.

• This fight's mechanics are triggered by having the majority of your raid standing on the same half of the divided room. As a tank, your repositioning of the boss will be key for "encouraging" more players switch sides.
• You must switch sides of the room before two full cycles of abilities on a given half, or Mug'Zee will gain Double-Minded Fury from reaching full Energy. In addition, their stacks of Moxie will gradually increase over time, as you cannot remove them all when properly switching sides.
• Even if you are not the fixate target of Unstable Crawler Mines, you can still detonate them on contact. Watch your feet! Unfortunately, they are immune to both Ring of Peace and Leg Sweep.
• When Mug is in control, do not help soak Earthshaker Gaol as a tank player; neither you nor your co-tank can afford to be trapped within its walls.
• When Zee is in control, help soak the Goblin-guided Rocket hits.
• When Zee is in control, be careful about positioning the boss to cleave the Mk II Electro Shockers. They will trigger Faulty Wiring upon reaching 80% HP, briefly stunning them and causing them to receive 100% more damage during this time. Do not trigger this stun if you do not intend to finish them off!

• Heroic: Players affected by Frostshatter Boots will also be targeted by a Frostshatter Spear, dealing lethal damage to the first player they make contact with. Position yourself to have the Spear hit a wall created by Earthshaker Gaol.
• Heroic: Unstable Crawler Mines create Unstable Cluster Bombs when detonated, which must all be soaked by players.
• Heroic: Players must split into two raid groups to soak Goblin-guided Rocket due to the blast applying Radiation Sickness.
• Mythic: Head Honcho will only be triggered when the entire raid is on the same half of the room. Communicate appropriately when repositioning!
• Mythic: Unstable Crawler Mines cannot be detonated by players and must instead be triggered by Earthshaker Gaol walls.
• Mythic: Players affected by Frostshatter Boots must run into a Hot Mess created by a Goblin-guided Rocket to remove the debuff. Consider having a Transcendence ready.
• Mythic: Mk II Electro Shockers gain an Electro-Charged Shield, which can only be removed by Mug's Stormfury Finger Gun.
