Until the raid encounters become available for testing, any comment on this would be purely speculative. Tier 1 talent choices are irrelevant to your healing ability, and will only offer situational utility. This glyphs looks like it could be very useful in fights where bleed effects are applied to you. This reduction is, presumably, added to the normal damage reduction granted by Fortifying Brew. images/wow_icon_inv_glyph_majormonk.jpg Glyph of Stoneskin causes your /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_fortifyingale_new.jpg Fortifying Brew to reduce all bleed damage taken by 20%. images/wow_icon_inv_glyph_majormonk.jpg Glyph of Leer of the Ox grants you the /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_leeroftheox.jpg Leer of the Ox ability, which allows your Black Ox Statue to taunt an enemy, slowing it. This is useful if you wish to turn your Guard into a magic cooldown (due to fight mechanics), but the increase in the shield is so small that, again, it will almost surely prove to be largely irrelevant. images/wow_icon_inv_glyph_majormonk.jpg Glyph of Guard increases the amount of damage absorbed by /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_guard.jpg Guard by 10%, but only protects against magic damage. At the same time, the difference that this glyph makes is so small that it may prove ultimately irrelevant. This will have situational uses, when you feel you need the damage reduction more than the additional health. images/wow_icon_inv_glyph_majormonk.jpg Glyph of Fortifying Brew increases the damage reduction granted by /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_fortifyingale_new.jpg Fortifying Brew by 5%, but reduces the health bonus by 10%. There is a possibility that /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_quitornado.jpg Chi Torpedo's healing portion may also affect you (the tooltip mentions allies), in which case it may be marginally better than /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_rushingjadewind.jpg Rushing Jade Wind and /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_summontigerstatue.jpg Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger. In Tier 6, all the talents provide you with DPS abilities, so they are largely irrelevant to tanking. Judging which talent you should choose will be done based on the mechanics of the encounter. For every other situation, you should take /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_jasmineforcetea.jpg Healing Elixirs.For situations where you wish to have a cooldown that reduces the damage of some very damaging melee attacks made against you, you should take /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_dampenharm.jpg Dampen Harm.For situations where you wish to have a defensive cooldown that greatly reduces magic damage, you should take /images/wow_icon_spell_arcane_massdispel.jpg Diffuse Magic.Tier 4 talents seem largely irrelevant to PvE gameplay, although they could be useful, situationally, depending on the mechanics of add fights ( /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_deadlyreach.jpg Deadly Reach / /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_chargingoxwave.jpg Charging Ox Wave / /images/wow_icon_ability_kick.jpg Leg Sweep). Again, depending on the mechanics of the encounter, /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_powerstrikes.jpg Power Strikes or /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_ascension.jpg Ascension could prove useful. This is useful in emergencies, when you must quickly be able to use /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_guard.jpg Guard or /images/wow_icon_inv_misc_beer_06.jpg Purifying Brew. In Tier 3, we would put forth the theory that /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_chibrew.jpg Chi Brew would be the prefered choice, as it allows you to instantly gain 4 Chi. In case self-healing is not a priority, either of /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_chiwave.jpg Chi Wave or /images/wow_icon_spell_arcane_arcanetorrent.jpg Chi Burst could be useful for healing the party, depending on the encounter mechanics. In Tier 2, it seems that the best choice is /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_forcesphere.jpg Zen Sphere, as this will grant you the most self-healing. ( /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_quipunch.jpg Celerity / /images/wow_icon_ability_mount_whitetiger.jpg Tiger's Lust / /images/wow_icon_ability_monk_standingkick.jpg Momentum). Tier 1 talent choices are irrelevant to your tanking ability, and will only offer situational utility. In this article, we will go through the talents and glyphs for Monks that appear, in their current incarnation, to have any relevant usefulness and which modify gameplay or enhance performance.
