Monk talent trees at level 90
Monk has 3 specializations: Brewmaster, Mistweaver, Windwalker. This build uses Brewmaster. Its hero choices are Master of Harmony and Shado-Pan. The hero selector changes only the hero branch. Your class and specialization picks stay in place.
Brewmaster points and unlocks
| Specialization | Tree | Talents | Points at level 90 | First point | Point gates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brewmaster | Class | 52 | 34 | Level 10 | 8, 23 |
| Brewmaster | Brewmaster | 44 | 34 | Level 11 | 8, 20 |
| Brewmaster | Shado-Pan | 14 | 13 | Level 71 | None |
| Brewmaster | Master of Harmony | 14 | 13 | Level 71 | None |
Available points are the sum of points earned at or below your chosen level. Each purchased rank costs one point in its own tree. Automatically learned talents cost no points. Points in your class tree cannot pay for talents in Brewmaster or either hero branch.
A brewmaster leveling example
At level 24, monk brewmaster has8 class points and 7specialization points. Spending 8 class points above the first gate opens its next section, provided you complete the connected talents. Spending those points in Brewmasterdoes not open the class gate. Your first Shado-Pan point arrives at level71.
Reaching the deeper brewmaster talents
Mighty Stomp, Invoke Niuzao, the Black Ox, Counterstrikerequire 20 points above the last Brewmaster gate. Complete the connected path as well. To move points out of that path, refund these deeper talents first. A refund that leaves fewer than 20 points above the gate is blocked while a talent below it remains learned.
Comparing Staggering Strikes and Quick Sip
These Brewmaster options share an octagonal node with 1 rank. Choose the effect you need, then learn the rank. Replacing one option keeps the same point cost.
| Talent | Effect at its first rank |
|---|---|
| Staggering Strikes | When you Blackout Kick, your Stagger is reduced by value not confirmed increased by up to 200% based on your missing health. |
| Quick Sip | Purify 8% of your Staggered damage each time you gain 3 sec of Shuffle duration. |
Importing, exporting and sharing monk builds
Paste a monk loadout into the loadout box and choose Import loadout. It opens the matching specialization, including Brewmaster, Mistweaver, Windwalker. For this Brewmaster plan, Export loadout includes your class picks, specialization picks and chosen Master of Harmony or Shado-Pan branch. Copy build link also keeps your level. Hover or focus a node to read it, click to learn, and right click to refund. On a phone, tap the node and use Learn rank or Remove rank.
Retail uses separate class, specialization and hero point pools. The older talent calculators linked above use three trees that share one pool, so their build strings are not interchangeable. Game updates can change talents and invalidate older loadouts. Check the build and data date before reusing a saved plan.
