Aberrus is Clear! (but not by us) – Peak of Serenity Podcast Ep. 159
In truest fashion, Liquid killed Mythic Sarkareth last Monday immediately after I finished editing the podcast. This week on the show, we recap the final hours of the RWF, review some interesting bits of their Brewmasters' talent builds, talk shop about our own progression, and cover the news from the week (including a new interview with Ion Hozzikostas & Holly Longdale).

Look What They Did to Poor Mistweaver – Peak of Serenity Podcast Ep. 155
The Mistweaver tier set for Aberrus has received a substantial internal cooldown, leaving it much weakened and a new build potentially dead in the water. This week on the podcast, Anomoly and emallson go through the changes, the healer nerfs via player HP buffs, and the recent Community Council interview with the WoW team about Mythic+.

Customer Reviews
Great Podcast, even if you're not a Monk!
Love hearing the thoughts and opinions of the show hosts. Very well structured yet relaxed enough to go off the rails and have fun tangents. Monk players should get a good idea of the current state of the show topics but are very relevant for players of all classes and spec roles. Anom's lore dumps are always a great off the rails experience!
Glad I found this show.
I’m glad to have found this show. Monk is my favorite class but as a returning player, there are a lot of whole in my game.
I look forward to listening as we move into Shadowlands.
Thank you for this!
Thank you for everything you do for the monk community. By far the #1 resource for monk help and insightful information.
