Since it works off of our energy regen levels we would need a level of energy regen that would make E*A=2.7 eps (E being the energy regen level, A being the 15% from Ascension) To get an extra 160 energy in a single minute we need to get 2.7 eps from Ascension. Power Strikes give 4 Chi per min (1 per 15 seconds) so in order to get that in Ascension we need to gain energy equal to 4 jabs/kegs per 1 min, 4 chi * 40 energy = 160 energy per minute. Less or almost non-existent haste would solve this.įor Ascension my math shows it being so bad that I question if I did my math right since I find it hard to think that it is really THIS bad. Since then I've been spamming the crap out of TP and using a Jab fairly often to keep from energy capping, jabbing more often then I would really like to due to GCDs and Keg. I've been using the TP spam since starting Twins progression and seeing logs of Monks doing 250+ TP Vs. Doing so will also give you no empty globals in your rotation. You can do this and never energy cap (even at 800 haste + ascension). Try to get in 2 tiger palms for every keg smash you use. The key to energy management is using Tiger Palm (and not grabbing more haste). I was basing my "need for some haste" off of the guides I've found that all say that we do, but after running sims and doing some math and looking at my own play style I really don't see WHY we needed and instead would say that the guides are either flat out wrong or at least out dated. I think the IV guide needs to be changed a bit or someone needs to tell me why on earth haste would be of value to BM in WoD. But still the return per point is really bad, I didn't do the deep math but just looking at my haste level of 723 and looking that I get 3.03% haste from that = 0.19 seconds off my swing speed making it every 2.41 seconds Vs. The other thing that is effected by haste is auto attack speed. So haste for the sake of Chi seems to be fairly useless, 606 haste to gain one extra is a solid amount of stats for not much return. Haste needed to get one more Jab or Keg per one minute = 606 haste (40 energy per 1 min = 0.667 EPS from haste =. Some of the math is useful, some was done just because I wanted to do it to see what would come about of it. As such this does have a small margin of error. Keep in mind that this is rough math and that I commonly found answers resulting in 7-15 decimal places and I rounded those numbers to either 1 or 2 decimal places, expect in places where more were required.

I've only picked up BM as my main with WoD so I'm working behind the curve and the theorycrafting community for the spec seems really weak.īored today so I ran some math. If anyone knows of someone that has done deep theorycrafting on brewmaster, let me know who they are/where they post. Wasn't arguing the validity of his statement, just pointing out that calm answers are more helpful.
