3%, really?

Nerfing both our BiS rings (Windwalker) and giving us a miniscule 3% buff to compensate is so wrong and extremely lazy, we are already one of the worst performing specs in the raid, and M+ we are not great either, there are many better melee specs to choose from.

We will lose so much damage from those ring nerfs, 3% isn’t going to cut it,
Blizzard, stop being lazy and give us some love finally, after these changes we’ll probably be dead last, you do realize we only have one dps spec right?

Seems wild theyre now nerfing these rings, this is a major nerf to any class this is BiS on, i get its a pain in the *** for people who rolled these speccs in S2.

But its a massive loss, and to stack, theres nothing compensating for it.

You know I think is cause ww monk isnt played by a lot of people so they dont care much. My two cents.

Yup, it’s a never ending spiral, noone plays it so it gets little to no attention which in return puts off even more Players.

Monk sub forum is completely silent, which means everyone’s happy and busy playing the game.

Hey, another +2% on next reset :smiley:

Yeah wow… we will do way less damage then we do right now, because both our BiS rings are getting a 40% and 25% nerf, that 2% is not going to do much in comparison, and we are already in the bottom 3 for Raids, without the option to spec into a different dps spec because we only have the 1 :frowning:

Seems ww is going to stay weak for the entirety of DF. We need to cry more like ret paladins did and see now they are great in pvp at least and also lot easier to do well than monk…

That is a lot to assume.

Its 2% friends we are back as top dog. LOL

Literally dead last now, how about some buffs finally Blizz? and not the lazy ‘‘2% all damage’’ stuff, how about you actually try this time?

I just want to push this post that blizz might hopeful give us atleast a little love.

Im Playing a ww monk in the range of +24 keys right now and can just talk about pve.
Since the Meta is broken i dont wanna talk much about that right now, but i have some suggestions to give us a ‘‘reason’’ to exist in a group since the +5% physical buff is a joke with the given situation

  1. Maybe some throwing brew that daze some enemys and work in the same way mindsooth from the priest works.
  2. Changeable Mantras, 5% physical, 5% magic, 5% versa something like that
  3. Since Tiger Statue is a meme, make it atleast a bit more impactful. more dmg? less cd? i dont know, just something
  4. Atleast some more dmg, cause we are simply doomed right now.
  5. Tankiness is pretty nice and fine in my opinion. But the 2 new passives are kinda useless

I think what could help a little on monk is if Generous Pour would not only be for AoE damage, but rather for all damage or magical damage.

Though sadly I do not think that would help much at this point, as in high end most will prefer specs that go well with Augmentation Evoker for the time being.

They given up on ww man. We should have seen it when they annouced the monk capstone talents(just an after thought from past expacs). Like im pretty sure there done with it cause they nerfed the ring and buffed the classes that used it to compensate i.e monks and stuff.

And they sat back and said yup ww needs a 2% dmg buff to compensate for the ring nerf( whitch in real terms turned into a dps loss of 1.8ish to 2.4% roughly) and they were like yup thats good and pushed it out and now we are dead. And then they do a 3% dmg buff later to all abilities whitch then just makes up for the ring nerf and then they sit back again and go yup thats good.

They have no clue what there doing at all. Not one semblance of a good idea between them there are stupid so stupid. Ive quit im not sure im coming back i feel no reason too my class since mop has just in my opinion pushed to the wayside time after time and im done cause maybe thats what they want who knows at this point.

Ww monk is the worst spec in 5 ppl content, cause everyone wants priest mage and augmentation evoker, and monks have lowest synergy with aug buffs.

So I had an interesting moment with my guild.

Before you comment, I am not perfect geared, nor am I even top geared, but was pretty damn proud of this ranking and kill. (I’m middle of the pack, might get CE, might not sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t, that’s the curse of being a 2 day raider with other stuff to do).

But that aside, still had this performance on Kazzara.

This left me annoyed, when I played at the top 5% of my ability, It’s barely top 30 for a mage output.

Now logs are screwy at times and augmentation… But still this is kinda… Nutty.

Atleast have us within the same opportunity range…

Mate you got 4 ilvl difference to the mage. Get over you ego and do your best for the kill

Uhm, did you actually look? or just wanted to throw shade?

The difference in logs is that we did pretty much exactly the same dps, and my log is within 5% and his within 30%. Ras is an insane player and usually top 5% logging all fights, so he’s fine.

The idea here is that same dps equates to a difference of 30% variation, meaning we are so far down the totempole we can’t even see the top.

Yes I looked and you ignoring the 4 ilvl difference again.

My apologies, I thought you hadn’t looked, seems like you just didn’t know how to read logs… Right hand side, logs vs ilvl. Left hand side logs total, no ilvl difference.

Ilvls doesn’t matter in this equation, so yeah,…
