Classes Monk

Im a little worried about monks
i know monks are often forgotten in the grand scheme of things when it comes to class balance, we are often left in the dark

but this time its kinda worrysome, as a mythic raider i fear for my raidspot in the next patch

warcraftlogs(dot)com/zone/statistics/21#dataset=99

if you look at the performance of top players in the raid, monks are scary low on the charts
and classes above us are getting love, like dks, hunters and Dh’s
even arms who is almost the same level as us, gets MAJOR buffs to their toolkit

meanwhile monks are kinda left at the bottom as the worst dps class in raiding (class not spec) as we have been for most of BoD

anyone else worried that they will get benched because blizzard seems to forget they made our class?

they forgot that we existed at the start of WoD.

when Monks were good once they were immediately nerfed to crap tier in nighthold times in Legion for ToS. So yea I think you have to accept that Monks are going to be trash tier next raid unless some essences are doing wonders with Monk.

It’s the same with PvP when monks are good once they are doomed to get nerfed for the next season to crap tier.

trust me i know, its insane to me that a class with only 1 dps spec gets shafted as much as monks do, ive mained it since mop, and its actually insane how often we are trash compared to classes like rogue/warrior, who has multiple dps specs (more options if your spec is performing poorly), we have to resort to healing or tanking, which are often taken spots, så bench for us lol

Atm I’m absolutely terrified how some classes seem to scale in world pvp, while bursting me through karma+good karma with a healer behind me, namely paladins, fury warriors and dhs and dks.

not only in world pvp, i looked at herodamage to check out essence scaling for monks vs other classes
Our best trait with 3 people stacked up is worldwein resonance, which gives us about 1200 dps at rank 3, with 3 people having the same trait

i looked at rogues, their 2nd best trait, gives 2500 dps at rank 1, thats more than twice the dps increase, for a rank 3 vs a rank 1

Now if we compare our best trait if we cant stack 3, we gain 853 dps for a rank 3, compared to the same rogue trait at rank 3 that gievs 3400 dps

The numbers must be wrong here? on top of baseline monks being as bad as they are

i’ve played a monk since mid mop, and i dont think we’ve been this far behind, ever

Gonna be behind the tanks on single target. It already starts showing and will only get worse. https: //www. warcraftlogs. com/zone/statistics/21/

I thought they had been somewhat buffed, or improved when we get the pvp essence? Sorry not 100% sure about any of it.

Are you comparing monks with the exception of the exceptions “the melee king” since day one?

Blasphemy, INSOLENCE!
How dare you? :stuck_out_tongue:

haha, yeah, well im not saying monks should be on rogue level, but atleast middle of the pack would be great on ST :stuck_out_tongue: like a buff to RSK so it feels good to hit, like it used to

I feel this too
