Talent Builds
Stat Priority
1
Agility
Primary stat — always prioritize item level. Higher ilvl means more Agility and Armor.
2
Versatility
Increases damage dealt and reduces damage taken. Your best secondary stat for overall survivability.
3
Critical Strike
Increases Celestial Brew shield size through Celestial Fortune healing. Strong for smoothing damage intake.
4
Mastery
Increases Dodge chance. Provides solid avoidance but is less reliable than flat damage reduction.
5
Haste
Reduces GCD and cooldowns of Keg Smash and Purifying Brew. Lower priority but still useful for brew generation.
Rotation Priority
1
Use on cooldown. Primary Chi generator and applies AoE threat. Reduces brew cooldowns.
2
Use between Keg Smash cooldowns. Reduces remaining cooldown on your brews.
3
Use on cooldown after Keg Smash to ignite targets soaked in brew. Provides a damage reduction debuff.
4
Use on cooldown for damage. Applies a damage-taken debuff to the target.
5
Use on AoE packs when Keg Smash and Breath of Fire are on cooldown.
6
Purify Stagger when it reaches moderate (yellow) or heavy (red) levels. Do not waste charges.
7
Use proactively before big damage events. Scales with Purified Chi stacks.
8
Use on cooldown against bosses and priority targets for massive damage.
9
Low-priority filler when all other abilities are on cooldown.
