Inactive Mitigation, a Zen Meditation
Recently, the Peak staff were surprised to learn of a rather unorthodox play pattern for Brewmasters: forgo Purifying Brew entirely. Don’t even bother casting it; wear HPS trinkets instead. While we have long held that Ironskin Brew is the more important part of our...
Elusive Brawling, a Zen Meditation
For some time, Brewmasters have followed the mantra: more stats is better than strong stats. Now, however, we recommend a focus on Mastery. What changed?
Staggering Patch 8.2, Brewmaster Edition
After a very long wait, it’s finally time to discuss Battle for Azeroth patch 8.2: Tides of Vengeance. Being the midway point for the expansion, Tides of Vengeance is bringing some sizable chunks of content. This includes: two new zones with catchup gear, a new...
Jaina, a Zen Meditation
