Yah, I could pretty much self heal most room pulls up until I hit Cata dungeons. So I don't know what that monk you were healing was doing.
They don't get elusive brew until 40ish and purifying brew until 75, but I think it's just a case of 40-70 having really bad tanks for some reason. Dude was probably not using shuffle at all or something. I've seen paladins in the same tier not using righteous fury, so anything is possible. I was venting on another forum that as a mistweaver I had a string of 5-6 tanks who were somehow fucking up instances by pulling entire rooms and not ever using any taunts ever apparently, so I would have pulls where there were 4-5 mobs on me at times.Most fail brewmasters just don't know how to use their abilities. Chances are he wasn't keeping shuffle up, using elusive brew and purifying when needed, or just wasn't managing his energy. The hardest time to be a brew is when you just hit max level and need to get geared, primarily because you tend to be energy starved and have trouble using kegsmash on cooldown and your crit rating blows, so you don't get EB stacks.
I like to think of my monk as angry-drunk panda stepdad. He seems happy enough just chilling and /dancing the party rock song, but then suddenly without warning he's yelling and throwing his beer at people and breaking kegs over heads and fightin' round the world. Instead of talking about his highschool football days, my monk will tell everyone about the time he almost went pro but then got a career ending fracture right before quarm, and then the recruiters dropped him like a hot potato and he didn't even get a cloth cap, so now he drinks and gets fatter and remembers the time when he could have been legend.WoW did a good job of making everyone think of their Monk as a fat ass Gummi Bear, regardless of race. If I only had some damn Gummiberry Juice!
Roll on WrA if you want some semi shit raiding with your RP instead of the absolute shit raiding you'd get on MG!I like to think of my monk as angry-drunk panda stepdad.

Gotta reroll on moongaurd with backstory this deep.
monk is the class with the absolutely lowest innate survivability. If you don't keep your mitigation and avoidance up, you'll just fall over. Once you learn it, extremely fun, but definitely not the easiest tank to start off with. Baddies should play blood dkHonestly, Id like to know what that monk was doing to be so squishy? You can face roll the buttons on the keyboard up until Timeless Isle and be a better tank than most classic tanks. Does not compute in the slightest. Especially when you say he was using BoA's cause even w/o shuffle, and purifying brew, Best in Slot gear would have kept tanking cake mode.
I know, trust me. Its most evident when you're stunned or in the choke hold of an NPC before Normal Garrosh. I couldnt imagine that hallway on Heroic. But to say you cant just push keys cause theyre up as youlevel(which was the original argument) is a little obnoxious and wrong lol. Monks are just retarded easy type of dumb to level.monk is the class with the absolutely lowest innate survivability. If you don't keep your mitigation and avoidance up, you'll just fall over.

I never made it to that Tunnel. I never did get past Siege Crafter on Heroic and I refuse to pay someone to carry my ass. I guess, secretly, I wanted that tunnel to be just as much of a bitch as it originally was.Trash is the same on normal and heroic.
Theyre doing really well in WoD. The whole theme for Warriors in WoD is to get back in touch with the Warriors roots in Classic. Back when they were really the only tank in town. You can only hope they get back to being that OP in comparison. lolI've got my protection warrior up to 53. So far its been a lot of fun to play with a lot of reactive abilities keeping me nonstop pushing buttons. In terms of complexity/skill required to play it well, how does protection warrior compare to the other tank specs?
You can find several people commenting on the state of the warrior now and in beta. Protection is and has been very enjoyable for me since WotLK, the design was just that good, although I dearly miss Concussive Blow, the spec has always been quite fun. Arms and Fury are not very fun in my opinion, that's why I don't really play them.I've got my protection warrior up to 53.
