Brewmaster Ovale Script
If you use Ovale, the default rotation for monks currently doesn't have brewmaster support and is a little basic. While I don't have the time to write one myself at the moment, happily Nerien (aka jlam) has compiled an excellent BM/WW combined script. You can get it here for tweaking purposes, or it'll always be included in his Ovale addon, Click below to show.

Re: Brewmaster Ovale Script
If anyone wants to contribute feedback about the Brewmaster Ovale script in Nerien's Ovale Scripts, please feel free to reply on this thread. I'll monitor this forum at least once a day.
That is the script I've been writing and tweaking since I was a level 10 monk all the way to 86 currently. It's mostly following the priority laid out in Alaron's BrM Monk guide. It is my main for this expansion, so the monk script will see a little more attention than the rest for the foreseeable future.

Re: Brewmaster Ovale Script
Hey,
I just installed the Brewmaster script on my monk and it looks like a lot of work has been put into it, so thanks for that! I do find the sheer number of buttons to be very confusing though. Would it be possible to see your prioritisation in logic form so I can take a stab at reducing the script down to a single button?
In case anyone wants to give it a try I've been using a script I wrote myself which has worked for me so far (lvl 73, so it doesn't include purifying brew yet), I've put it up here: http://pastebin.com/v4xK4XXK
The governing logic behind my script is very roughly laid out here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7-P34 ... nFNTl93NDg where blue denotes an AND relationship between conditions and yellow denotes OR . My logic was built up based on this guide: http://www.noxxic.com/wow/pve/monk/brew ... -cooldowns
Anyhow, am happy to help try build the definitive ovale script for Brewmasters, so anything you'd like me to contribute please let me know.

Re: Brewmaster Ovale Script
There are four main icons and some small icons on either side that just contain survival cooldowns or utility spell cooldowns. The four main icons are:
You can toggle off the AoE rotation by clicking on the icon and unchecking the "AOE" checkbox. I will probably add checkboxes to all of my scripts to toggle off the small icons since those are likely to be tracked by using other addons as well.
You always want to be executing the main rotation. When an ability appears in the short-defensive-cooldown icon, it's up to you to decide if it's worthwhile to use it at that time, e.g., sometimes you don't care to use Guard because you aren't taking enough damage and would rather just spend that energy on Blackout Kick or Breath of Fire.
- Short defensive cooldowns, e.g., Guard, Purifying Brew.
- Single-target rotation to spend energy and generate chi for damage.
- AoE rotation.
- Important abilities & damage cooldowns, e.g., interrupts, Touch of Death, Invoke Xuen.

Re: Brewmaster Ovale Script
I don't think it's good design to have only a single icon for every action because tanking requires intelligently using the right abilities at the right times. For brewmasters, the choice of what to do when you have 2 chi available depends greatly on the circumstances: on defense (Guard), offense (Blackout Kick), healing (Zen Sphere), or AoE (Breath of Fire). I don't see how you'd encapsulate that decision into a single icon. In particular, tanks should withhold casting Guard and/or Elusive Brew if there is a predictable damage spike that will occur shortly.
I like how you're trying to organize your script. I did identify the following problems:

- Tiger Palm should be used as your filler action.
- You can cap out on chi using Keg Smash.
- You can cap out on chi using Jab.
- You can use EnergyRegen() for the exact energy regeneration number instead of hard-coding "11".
Re: Brewmaster Ovale Script
For me it only ever suggests I do Keg Smash, pretty much nothing else at all.

Re: Brewmaster Ovale Script
I found I had to change in the code the stance of the ox to Stance of the ox to get it to stop telling me to change my stance. Once I did that it got much better.
I also like to augment with Power Auras Classic to get me some visual details like time remaining on shuffel and if guard is up or not.

Re: Brewmaster Ovale Script
Nerien's Ovale Scripts 2.1.12 has a new BrM monk script based on the data in the EJ BrM monk thread "Like Water". The primary difference should be better Shuffle uptime than the previous script. I think the logic to determine when to use Purifying Brew could use more research; right now it only suggests PB if Shuffle uptime won't suffer as a result of using it.
