The Brewmaster is a difficult enemy to defeat, and should be engaged only with overwhelming force. Each individual elemental panda is a dangerous fighter with their own unique abilities. In addition, even if the Brewmaster does seem to be in danger, he can split into three powerful elemental aspects with Primal Split. Heroes who rely on physical attacks will find the Brewmaster nearly impossible to damage when he uses Drunken Haze and Drunken Brawler. If an enemy seems too dangerous the Brewmaster douses them with Drunken Haze, which causes the majority of the target's physical attacks to miss their mark. Thunder Clap deals a lot of damage to nearby enemies while slowing them significantly, giving the Brewmaster time to bash their skulls in with his drunken brawling skills. The Brewmaster uses the ancient art of drunken fighting to bash his enemies to a bloody pulp while surviving even the most deadly attacks with ease. All elements are affected by Black Hole.Fire Pandaren is not upgraded by Aghanim's Scepter (other than getting Drunken Brawler).With Aghanim's Scepter, all elements get Brewmaster's level of Drunken Brawler.Can be improved by Aghanim's Scepter (* shows the improved values).The Earth Panda carries every aura of the Brewmaster.If Earth is dead he takes Storm's place, and if Storm is dead he takes Fire's place. When the spell ends, the Brewmaster takes Earth's place.There’s that, too!Ĭheck below for some more pictures of Chen Stormstout the action figure, as well as how he looks proudly displayed on my desk here at the Escapist HQ (surrounded by my Gundam models, naturally – monk, meet mecha). Or, you could take your luck and enter the random drawing – open for the next week – for the two Pandaren figures Blizzard has set aside for the Escapist and WarCry communities. The ropes around the keg are actual ropes and his staff is actual bamboo – or at least some sort of very bamboo-esque wood.īut the surprising part is actually the price: You can pick up your very own Chen Stormstout (as a Limited Edition figure, it’s first-come-first-serve) from the Blizzard Store for only $50, which considering the quality of this thing seems like a pretty damn good deal. The Brewmaster is hand-painted from his fur to his kung-fu outfit to the little design on the keg that he carries around with him (since, you know, Drunken Masters need some help on the “drunken” part), but what’s really cool is the actual materials used for some of this stuff. This little guy clocks in at 8″ tall, and the detail here is really exquisite. Yeah, they’re a fan-favorite race for a reason, you know.Īppearing in the Orc campaign in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne but strangely absent (along with his entire race) from World of Warcraft despite a handful of references – and an in-game pet, Chen Stormstout can now hang out on your desk in limited-edition figure form, and it is – pardon my French – really, really, really freaking cool. If you aren’t familiar with Warcraft, just imagine a race of panda-people, half samurai and half kung-fu monks, who love their liquor and whose celebrated Brewmasters wander the earth dispensing their magical drink with one hand and dispensing white-hot Drunken-Master-style ass-kicking with the other. The item in question here is a little statue of Chen Stormstout, the most famous Pandaren Brewmaster in the world of Warcraft. And then – arguably more awesome – we take pictures of it and put them up on the site for everyone else to see how badass it is. One of the more awesome parts about the job is that sometimes, companies will send us stuff, and it will be totally awesome. You know, I don’t like to brag about it too often, but I’ve got a pretty cool job. Our friends at Blizzard sent us over an 8″ statuette of legendary Warcraft Pandaren Brewmaster Chen Stormstout, and let me just say: This thing is freaking badass.
