Blizzard's Midnight API restricts addon access to your personal buffs and cooldowns during M+ and raid — the exact content where aura tracking matters most. The addons listed here work within these restrictions and cover what WeakAuras used to handle.

Brewmaster Monk · Mythic+

Curated for Mythic+ — Master of Harmony with sustained Stagger control across chain pulls, Keg Smash-driven Shuffle uptime, and Celestial Brew pre-staged on predictable hard hits. Reviewed 28 Jun 2026.

Talent Builds

Using this build

Mythic+ High Keys

Master of Harmony

Recommended for high Mythic+ — Master of Harmony sustains consistent Stagger control and Shuffle uptime across chain pulls. The smooth predictable intake profile is most valuable when healers are under pressure from consecutive packs.

Mythic+ Weekly Keys

Shado-pan

Shado-pan for weekly and lower Mythic+ keys — trades some defensive smoothness for higher offensive output via Flurry Strikes. Viable when the key level is comfortable and DPS contribution matters more than peak mitigation.

Addons

Why no WeakAuras? Midnight's API blocks WeakAuras from reading your buffs and cooldowns. The addons here cover what it used to handle.

Boss timers

194.0M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 May 2026

For Brewmaster Monk, more accurate mechanic timers mean you can confidently pre-pop Celestial Brew knowing precisely how long until the next major hit, rather than burning it too early or reacting after damage has already landed. LittleWigs is required for dungeon boss modules — install both.

GTFO

Advanced Ground effect alerts

95.9M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

For Brewmaster Monk, Stagger absorbs incoming physical hits but ground effects that deal direct magic damage bypass it — the GTFO alarm fires before the damage lands so you can reposition rather than absorbing magic AoE directly into your health without Stagger mitigation. Install knowing it's significantly more limited than pre-Midnight — it covers specific tracked boss mechanics only, not general ground effects.

Damage taken

345.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Damage-taken breakdown including Stagger absorbed versus taken directly. If Purifying Brew is your highest self-healing source but Stagger removed is low, you're Purifying at Light Stagger rather than waiting for Heavy where the per-Purify value is highest.

Platynator

Nameplates

9.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 Apr 2026

Cast bars on enemy nameplates so you know which enemy is casting — Spear Hand Strike to interrupt, Leg Sweep to stun, or pre-pop Celestial Brew before a magic hit that Stagger won't absorb. At melee range with multiple enemies, cast bar highlights make the dangerous caster obvious without tab-targeting.

TargetedSpells

Targeted casts

743.8K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 2 May 2026

Visual and audio alert when an enemy targets a dangerous ability at you, giving you time to choose the right defensive — Celestial Brew for magic hits that bypass Stagger, Fortifying Brew for a sustained damage window, or Invoke Niuzao for long-duration mitigation. The alert fires during the enemy's cast so you act before the hit rather than responding to your health spiking.

Cooldowns & tracking 2

OmniCD

Healer externals

33.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Feb 2026

Tracks healer externals across the group — knowing whether Pain Suppression or Blessing of Sacrifice is ready lets you hold Celestial Brew for a later window rather than stacking both on the same hit. Interrupt tracking shows kick availability so you can cover casts efficiently with Spear Hand Strike or Leg Sweep.

Personal cooldowns

938.2K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 15 Mar 2026

Configurable timers for your major defensives on screen. Tracks Celestial Brew (45 sec), Invoke Niuzao (3 min), Black Ox Brew (1 min), and Fortifying Brew so you can pre-plan which covers each mechanic — especially Black Ox Brew, which restores Purifying Brew charges immediately during Stagger spikes.

TrufiGCD

Advanced GCD timeline

1.3M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 Mar 2026

Scrolling timeline of your recent cast history with GCD gaps visible. Shows Energy capping as dead gaps between casts, and Shuffle drops as multiple GCDs without a Keg Smash or Tiger Palm — both are invisible in spell breakdowns but clear on the timeline.

Frames & Action Bars 3

BetterBlizzFrames

Unit frames

4.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

BetterBlizzFrames enhances the default Blizzard unit frames rather than replacing them. For Brewmaster Monk, the Stagger bar is your primary health display — BetterBlizzFrames keeps it correctly sized and positioned relative to your target frame so you can read your Stagger level (Light/Moderate/Heavy) at a glance while tanking.

Dominos

Action bars

22.2M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Brewmaster Monk, a dedicated cooldown bar keeps Celestial Brew, Invoke Niuzao, Black Ox Brew, Fortifying Brew, and Leg Sweep at consistent positions near the centre of the screen — your eyes don't need to travel to the default bar edges to check cooldown availability during active tank damage.

ElvUI

Advanced Unit frames

Tukui.org addon

Works in Midnight Updated 15 May 2026

Most of what ElvUI covers for Brewmaster Monk is better handled by BetterBlizzFrames (frames), Dominos (action bars), and Platynator (nameplates). Only install if you want a fully unified UI aesthetic and are prepared for the configuration overhead.

Mythic Dungeon Tools

Dungeon maps

93.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 May 2026

For Brewmaster Monk, the planning value is identifying which pulls create the hardest Stagger loads — large packs that overlap with patrols, or pulls that chain into a dangerous encounter while Celestial Brew is on cooldown. Ring of Peace repositioning is also visible from the map: knowing enemy positions in advance lets you pre-plan where to funnel enemies into a tighter group or push them out of a dangerous position.

Player scores

Works in Midnight Updated 25 May 2026

Adds every player's Mythic+ score and raid progression to their tooltip. Brewmaster Monk brings Ring of Peace, Leg Sweep, and Spear Hand Strike — a visible high score signals you know when to deploy that toolkit, not just that you can survive the damage.

Keystone tracking

17.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 Mar 2026

Astral Keys adds a tooltip to players in your guild and friends list showing their current keystone dungeon and level. Tank spots are usually the shortest supply — knowing who has a key at your level lets you get into a run without posting in LFG chat.
