Niuzaos Training - This is the best offensive and defensive trait for Brewmasters. It's #1. Granting Mastery based on your Stagger level, this bonus is simple but extremely powerful. Its value can fluctuate slightly, ranging from "The Best Defensive Trait, Hands-Down" against virtually all Mythic raid bosses, to "Virtually Worthless" against pure spell damage. Notably, it performs much better in real world applications than it does in sims. This is due to sims generally assuming less damage taken - and thus lower Stagger values - than is typical. This is an exceptional option that provides the most value you can gain from any trait. Unlike the three following traits, this is worth stacking as much as possible. The biggest downside is that it offers little to no value when you are not actively tanking, but that's not particularly common in raids or Mythic+, and that one drawback isn't enough to hold it back from being the absolute best trait for Brewmasters across the board.

Schlüpfrige Fußarbeit - The second-best Brewmaster-specific single target DPS trait (an extremely low bar), and a very fine defensive trait as well! It is simple but powerful. One important note - the additional Mastery stack effect only applies once, so going above one point in this trait only provides extra damage, and not really that much of it. It enjoys a nice synergy with Training of Niuzao.

Kochendes Bräu - A small DPS/large self-healing increase. This offensive bonus is small per target but scales linearly. It outperforms Schlüpfrige Fußarbeit offensively once you are attacking groups of 4 or more enemies. Defensively, the healing sphere spawn rate is 2.5 RPPM, which is pretty good - every bit of healing adds up! An important note - the healing sphere spawn frequency is not increased by having multiple points in this trait, so going above one point only provides extra damage. Basically, this is a one-point wonder.

Magenbitter - A solid defensive trait added in Patch 8.1. Unlike the other "cream of the crop" traits, this only provides defensive value. The armor it grants is extremely consistent, which is nice. The free Brew charges more or less equate to procced Haste, which is good, but less valuable. It can provide a burst of damage reduction when you need it, or cover up mistakes if you're doing a less-than-perfect job with your Brew management. It's a good trait, but not as valuable as the previous options.

Wirbelnde Sande - While not a Monk-specific trait, this is a very potent Crit buff that can last for a long time. It’s decent!

Seuchenerbeninfusion - Another non-Monk trait, this bonus confers a very powerful Crit buff. It’s quite good, and it is available on one of the best pieces of Azerite gear available: Gorak Tuls Mantel.

Damage proc traits - Special, non-specific mention goes out to all damage proc traits. If you are looking to maximize your DPS, damage procs are better than any Monk-specific traits.

Randvoll - Rewards Purifying Heavy Stagger with a modest healing bonus. Spacing the heal out over the next 3 abilities means that it can be overwritten by healers, and it will. Even under ideal circumstances, this doesn't provide enough healing to compete with virtually any of the other available Azerite Traits, and it should virtually never be taken.

Erschütternde Hiebe - A simple, undertuned damage reduction trait. This trait only provides defensive value, and it offers significantly less than any other Brewmaster trait. Don't use it.

Druckpunkt - This is a Windwalker trait, and while it works for Brewmaster, its damage bonus is reduced by 60%. As a result, it's not worth using at all, and this section is only here to indicate: Don't use this trait!

Herz der Dunkelheit - Adds a significant chunk of secondary stat budget if you are above 25 Corruption. The stat budget is extremely well-tuned, and it is among the best Azerite traits available to Brewmaster Monks. As long as you're wearing enough Corruption gear to keep it active, this should be a top-priority trait. Go for it!

Wogende Fluten - A powerful, simple offensive option with a fairly small defensive bonus. This is a top-quality single-target damage trait. If the defensive component triggers, it will not be able to deal damage for 45 seconds. That's not great, but the damage is still good enough to compete even with that major limitation. It's great!

Loyal bis zum Ende - Without other party members running this trait, it's undertuned and absolutely cannot compete with Niuzaos Training or most of your other options. If, on the other hand, you have at least 3 or 4 other players in your group running it, then it's a fantastic option. It's the pyramid scheme of Azerite Traits!

Arkanes Herz - This trait is hot, stinky garbage for tanks. You simply don't get much value out of the stat proc and it takes far too long to trigger. It's bad! Healing Arcane damage taken could be helpful for surviving against Queen Azshara. That's the only upside.

Best Tier 2 and 3 Azerite Traits for Brewmaster MonkEdelsteinhautTeilnahmsloses Antlitz

Damage procs - The best offensive traits for maximizing damage output are damage procs. If you want to maximize your damage (and who doesn't?), go for them. No duh!

Instabile Flammen - A procced Crit buff. Crit is a great stat, and getting more is good!

Unterwegs - A simple, powerful increase to Versatility, which is one of your better stats, and Speed, which is never bad.

Kristalliner Panzer - An effective defensive bonus that can have serious uptime. The offensive bonus is truly nothing to write home about.

Azeritadern - Randomly procced HoTs are not all too compelling, and this is no different, but given how Brewmaster Monks Stagger damage and their general lack of self-healing tools, this is a very decent defensive trait. One or two stacks can be a nice bonus in M+, although three stacks has a tendency to cap out and shut off early - potentially providing less healing than only one or two stacks!

Ablative Abschirmung - A small, reactive defensive cooldown when you drop below 40%. The activation window is large enough for this to be useful, but the "Taking further Physical damage reduces the Armor granted" component is a significant drawback. This component was initially triggered by Stagger early in the expansion, but now it is not, making this trait a usable option for Brewmasters looking to maximize their survival. This tends to be a more valuable trait in Mythic+ than in raids, due to its ability to provide a little extra breathing room so that your healer can catch up or you can kite. This is not a popular trait, and for good reason -- it's not all that useful, but it can have some value in high-level Mythic+ pushing.

Edelsteinhaut - For Brewmasters, this trait has extremely high uptime (nearly 100%), and it's a great option! While it was once the most important defensive trait of any tier in raids, this immense value has slipped somewhat with the rise in item levels - and thus the rise in base armor and health values. As a result, this is a great trait that should always be a priority, just not at the expense of taking bad Tier 1 traits.

Teilnahmsloses Antlitz - This is the best and most versatile of the self-healing Tier 3 traits. It is triggered by ticking Stagger damage, which makes it extremely consistent. The healing adds up quickly, making it arguably more valuable than Edelsteinhaut in M+.

Season 2 Changes

Could you add a section on stacking azerite traits? From my understanding some of the traits don't 1:1 stack. For an example does Elusive Foot work add the damage AND give an additional stack for each azerite piece with that trait or do you only get 1 stack and each addition azerite piece only give you extra damage? Another example with the Breath of Fire trait does getting addition pieces with the same trait increase the spawn rate of the healing spheres?

Kommentar von Saytam313

Is really trait Ablative Abschirmung worth it? It seems like armor from buff gets lowered with every stagger tick making that buff last like 2sec. Also Instabile Flammen gets removed with every melee hit I take making it useless for tank, but maybe its bug.
