A must watch! Looks like MW is also in a state

I just watched all of Sloots video and i cant believe how many problems exist. I really want to play my monk but every video or review from beta for both WW and MW kills my soul :frowning:

I also only just realised how underwhelming conduits and legendaries are for both these specs as well.

Video link below for those interested.

Ehrm… it’s a sixteen hour video. Could you please point us to some specific timestamps?

It starts around the 00:17:45 mark, and as far as I remember, they talk about an hour or so.

The discussion on MW sums up my concern that it doesn’t matter how you change and fix the bugs with new abilities or mess with the talents, the real problem is the base spec:-

  • We actively avoid using what should be our main spell (soothing mist) in a lot of content.

  • Mastery only really affects two actively used spells and doesn’t feel interesting or useful, in fact we also avoid it like the plague.

  • Essence font gameplay doesn’t feel satisfying for many, those that remember WoD and pre-WoD Incarnations miss these for the interesting and challenging interactions between spells.

  • Mana Tea on the GCD doesn’t feel right or necessary. Using this with soothing mist that also uses the GCD feels even worse, a couple GCDS before you start to heal (IF we actually used soothing mist).

  • Revival is extremely underwhelming in comparison to other healer cooldowns and doesn’t bring a niche for MW. Sometimes it’s a hindrance than a help with the mass dispel.

The only way forward I can think of is to revert the class to how it functioned pre-legion (the unpruning as promised). If this isn’t possible, I think the Peak of Serenity guys have completed loads of feedback to correct issues and provide ideas. I’m just sorry I can only agree with the identified problems rather than help think of solutions.

I’m not worried about covenant bugs because I’m sure blizzard will fix these, but you can’t solve the spec if the spec itself has fundamental issues.

WW is fun to play. Downside of the spec is the bugs, problem with scaling and two talents that should be baseline to make the spec have a good flow. Which for me is ok since i dont do high end raiding or mythic plus but for those that do this spec will need things fixed.
