Shado-Pan Brewmaster Monk Review
Hero Talents represent Blizzard's attempt to refine a specialization's fantasy during The War Within, offering additional talents spread along a key effect, three rows related to it, and finally a capstone. Importantly, you will have access to every option within a given set of Hero Talents upon reaching max level. While there may still be choice nodes to decide between, this means that every new node unlocked needs to be uniquely strong to justify their mandatory nature. For Brewmaster Monks, there are two available sets of Hero Talents: Shado-Pan and Master of Harmony.
Available to Brewmasters and Windwalkers, the Shado-Pan Monk talents are described by Blizzard in this way:
As a Shado-Pan, learn from your forebears and stand proud against your foes in defense of your friends and family. Bide your time and charge up your power before unleashing an overwhelming flurry of blows to overwhelm your opponents.
With this description in mind, here are the revealed Hero Talents for this tree:
