Every specialization in World of Warcraft comes with its fair share of jargon to speed up discussion, and Brewmaster Monk is no exception. Rather than having to ask in a Discord channel and wait for a response (or risk not getting one), feel free to consult this list whenever you encounter a brew player saying strings of letters you’ve never heard before; this page is up to date as of The War Within, Patch 11.0.2.
