Hit CapĪt level 90, most races require 2,550 Hit Rating to reach themelee hit cap. You should not go above 11,000Haste Rating though, because at that point you begin gaining Energy faster thanyou can spend it. We encourage you to experiment with your Haste Rating inorder to find the amount you like the most. Regarding how much Haste Rating you should have, this is mostly up topersonal preference. Once you feel like you have no trouble surviving with a Mastery-heavybuild, you can put more stats into Critical Strike Rating. This amountwill, in most cases, simply come from the Stamina found innately on your gear.Therefore, you should never have to go out of your way to gem for Stamina. As such, you need a minimum amount of Stamina. Also, you need to have a decent amount of health, inorder to give yourself the chance to be healed before a subsequent attackkills you. Most encounters have abilities that cannot bemitigated or avoided. Haste Rating also allows you to cast Expel Harm more often when at low health (when Desperate Measuresprocs). The greatest benefit of Haste Rating is that it allows youto use Purifying Brew more often. Haste Rating increases your energy regeneration rate (and thus,indirectly, your Chi generation), as well as the rate at which you prochealing spheres from Gift of the Ox (since you attack more often). It providesless survivability than Mastery Rating, but it provides more DPS, so if bossesare not hitting you very hard, then you may prefer this stat over MasteryRating. During progression content, andespecially against hard-hitting bosses, this is the best survivalstatistic you can get (it is especially good at mitigating burst damage).Ĭritical Strike Rating increases the frequency at which you can use Brewing: Elusive Brew, allowing you to stack it much faster. Mastery Rating ( Mastery: Elusive Brawler) increases the amountof damage that you Stagger with each hit. It increases yourchance to dodge, your attack power (which affects Guard and thestrength of your self-heals), and it also increases your Critical Strikechance (which benefits Elusive Brew). Whileit may sometimes be viable to stop at 7.5% Expertise (and not go all the wayup to 15%), we do not generally advise this.Īgility is a very strong survival statistic. Secondly,it increases the proc rate of the healing spheres generated by Gift of the Ox, since this ability requires you to land melee hits. Firstly, missing with your attacks, or having themparried does not generate any Chi, costing you a global cooldown (and, in thecase of Keg Smash, triggering the ability's 8-second cooldown). Hit Rating and Expertise Rating improve your survivability andyour DPS/threat output. Mastery Rating and Critical Strike Rating in equal amounts.This stat priority combines both Critical Strike Rating and MasteryRating, and it is a good compromise between the two stat priorities listedabove. Haste Rating (between 4,000 and 11,000, depending on personalpreference).Avoidance gearing will reduce your total damagetaken the most, but it is not very reliable, and it makes you vulnerable tounpredictable spikes of damage. This priority emphasises Critical Strike Rating, which increases your Elusive Brew uptime. Expertise Rating (until 15%) and Hit Rating (until 7.5%).It minimises the effect of personalmistakes by passively reducing burst damage taken.

This stat priority is best for less experience players, and those who aregoing up against very hard-hitting bosses. There are three viable stat priorities for Brewmaster Monks.
