Well obviously I'm going to say Mok'Nathal, because we have cookies and hugs to pass around.
AGM is essentially impossible on our server alone, but if you p2p hop at like 3 A.M. it's fairly simple. I did a hop a few nights ago at Midnight and was able to get a trinket, so it's certainly possible and fast with hops at Midnight, 3, and 6. If you're that dedicated.
And in regards to monk FC, Old has other toons he can play on besides his warrior. He needs to find some variety anyways, that tunnel-vision bridge dweller.

and mw is the weakest healer. /shrug. But if I don't like it I can always go WW which I'm just as interested in trying or MW

Yeah.
I only mention it so you keep it in mind when choosing quest rewards. I wish i'd of made better choices on mine TBH.

Hmm, can I ask you to extrapolate on what you mean exactly?
Brewmaster seems to be in a pretty good spot with a defensive stance, escapes, a freedom, a "death grip" stun, a perma-slow, and even a poison dispel.
Isn't that enough to make them viable? Someone who has played monk, like yourself, is going to know far more about it than myself, who has not. So these questions are not critical, but rather inquisitive.
I know some 19s will run with BM monks in premades just for the clash.

I don't think there are any quest rewards that matter, at least, not for horde. BFD legs for ally (?) BiS is mostly drops for Brewmaster and quest rewards for mistweaver

My first guess, looking at how BM monk is built based off of Sturdy Ox Stance, you should be going max stamina over armor tradeoff.
For instance, MM over Leather shoulders (pretty standard, Guardian does the same). And Mystic's Robe over Leather chest (since Ox stance provides no increase to armor, but instead has a 20% physical damage stagger, armor isn't going to be a key focus point, I don't believe. It's still strong, of course).
Especially considering that versus Melee classes, BM is going to be able to slow and kite with Dizzy/Roll, respectively. Very interesting to theory craft for BM, actually.
I do know that your damage is going to be extremely low to almost non-existent. With a full agility BM monk, a friend of mine on silvermoon was hitting for ~180 Keg Smashes and like ~300 total Breath of Fires. Swapping to Fierce Stance, your damage does improve, but it still is nothing to write home about.
Again, this is just from my brief experience with letting a monk dps into me, and is a fraction of what someone with actual experience might have found.

and these have mail armor. a monk has less armor than a priest with inner fire. stagger only works with physical dmg.
a druid has 330% armor bonus as guardian.
they're great as an fc's helper for all those reasons, but they just don't have the armor. resto's can get away with it because of their self heals.
kiting in this patch is a lot harder, you might have a 3stack before you get back to your fr.

I wouldn't. It's not very active... Though I guess compared to some of the other realms it's just as happening. On Vashj, people talk in chat (go team!), they do things together and premade regularly. Just not a ton of people. Idk...

I'd suggest bwl over vash, unless u mean for ally of course. If your looking at some gear, i'd suggest stamina over agi or much of anything else, your dmg will never really increase that much with more ap. If you want a dps set i'd stack crit. But most of what u will be doing is supporting, heres a gear set i use, replace bear bracers with serrakis, i have had some horrible luck with serrakis on that character lawl. I switch between staff of horrors and the boa caster pvp staff depending on what im doing(yes it proc's off dizzying haze). And mark of tyranny is a must aswell. Albinoçow @ Nazgrel - Community - World of Warcraft . One thing to keep in mind while playing bm monk is when u clast, if the horizontal difference between u and ur target are off even a little, there is a good chance it wont stun him/her. This can make for some very annoying times >>

BWL is a great server, but we've had this recent problem of douchebags randomly rolling there. We hired a rabid gorilla as chief of security, to keep out the rift-raft, but he just didn't take instruction well—we decided that instead of trying to fire him, it might be easier just to go on vacation and see if the problem resolves itself—now he kind of just wonders the halls shaking down people for bananas.
Non-tards are always welcome on BWL, and as far as I'm concerned, you don't even have to be good at WoW. We're not trying to be cliquish, we're just not trying to be the next AP. Rules are 1) Be excellent to each other, 2) If you come off sounding like a needy ex-GF, expect to get banned from chat at least once. 3) Always carry a spare banana 4) If you want to roll a hunter, be female and send either me or Snowjobs your IRL pics
If you do come on over, the password is "New England Clam Chowder"

Thanks. Playing your NG crew with you as BM was one of the things that made me really interested in playing BM monk.
