World of Warcraft: WoW guide for monk as a tank
With this WoW guide, we show you how to optimally play your monk as a tank and also what makes it so special.
The monk as a tank in WoW: special features
You can choose the WoW class monk in the game and then choose one of the three roles - either Braumeister (protection), fog (healing) or windrunner (damage). Almost all WoW peoples can be played as a tank. These include the draenei, the gnomes and the humans as well as the night and blood elves as well as the orcs and tauren. In addition, the trolls and undead as well as the pandaren can be played as a tank. To do this, select the "Brewmaster" role.
- The monk as a tank is particularly interesting for you in PvE mode. In this way you can protect your group from enemy attackers and play an important role within the group.
- As a monk tank you either carry a two-handed weapon (see screenshot) or you have two one-handed weapons. These are characteristic of the monk tank.
Ox style at World of Warcraft
If you play the monk as a tank, you should activate the ox style. It remains activated until you deactivate it manually. The ox style is therefore important:
- It increases the threat you create, which is why you can use your monk tank to ward off attackers particularly well. It also increases your armor and health.
- You have four main skills. These include blackout kick, misting fumes, breath of fire and protection. All of these skills will help you deal damage to your opponent and increase the threat.
Equipment of the monk as a tank in WoW
You can change the armor of the monk tank individually. For this you should use the following gemstones:
- Blue Socket: Use a blue stone with 240 stamina or a green stone with 160 mastery and 120 stamina.
- Red base: Place a red stone with 320 weapons knowledge or a purple stone with 160 weapons knowledge and 120 stamina here.
- Yellow base: Either take a yellow stone with 320 championship or a green stone with 160 championship and 120 stamina.
- Meta socket: Use the so-called meta stone, which has a stamina of 324 and increases your armor by two percent.
