In a way yes that is true, the comp is good but here is the thing, i see no problem or disparity in monks performance outside the wondercomp they have with Frost Dk though.
And more power to Mes, the guy seems like a real chill dude (pun intended) but i have stated this before and in my humble opinion, just because you can push high and get glad with A: good friends that know your playstyle and your calls and queues and has good chemistry with you, these days people are drones (who am i kidding, the gearscore addon in wrath was cancer too) and/or metaslaves with no loyalty to the class they play, Fotm people in other words taht will never take you to their Pug team or Pug raid because “who plays frost xD”
That last paragraph is a pet peeve of mine, because thats how i am, i love this class, i love my frost spec, i love my 2 handed slapper, BfA was hell for me, Sl gave alot back but leaves some to be desired still, which in essence is not solely with our class, but i go off on a tangent again, pardon.
B: If a class can for the most part only perform with the tacked on crutches not in the abse kit, or pvp talents that enhance the base kit i see thatt as extremely bad design, and show little care went through the thought process, personal anectode again, but hey sue me, the power of Heartstop aura, chill streak, dark simu with covenant skills as Leox mentioned is apparent, but to me they are curses exactly what BoS is in our PvP setup, a skill that does not belong on the class period in it’s current iteration. And yes i know we -can- perform with Obliteration PoF window but if any opponent in a tight played situation cant see that and pop turtle, run away, Divine shield etc cant see that and we cant find another target it’s feast or famine, exactly like BoS (cough Voidform, but voidform was removed because that exact problem), i wont speak more about boS since this is pvp, i only wanted to compare the situation of non baseline crutches.
and C: I know Mez and flarkness are good people and good players, with good friends that understand exactly how the class functions, and what to do and what to bait, i can perform adequatly well in some situations if i get to focus and i am not to tired. believe you me i know i am a filthy casual and LFR hero, with communication problems and other annoyances thanks to a mental affliction called Autism and involuntary Tank in many Mythics because i dont want to sit for hours getting declined for 2’s and 3’s (not as blood mind you, buti have seen some comments about some deaths trike damage setups in low rating) mythic+ and raids, Mythic+ is remedied since i can indeed tank, at the cost for the mental health of my healer since i dont have the best tank leggo yet and blood is kinda spiky atm esp with low haste, also why you see more prot tanks in both pvp and pve, the class is fun, the gameplay is rewarding.
Which brings me to my point: Casual players be they chill dudes or wannabee hardcore people takes the path of least resistance unless you absolutely love the class and have played it through thick and thin for years, and for the past 4 years or so i have wondered why just DK and frost DK in general has had such a lousy design philosophy and history after mid cata (late legion was a legit good iteration, but we cant have that, Bfa fixed all taht good stuff, ty devs)… and the revelation that there is 2 dudes or less doing all the classes, and a Pvp dude might be tacked on aswell was a shock to learn of. SL so far has been a suprise, i expected BfA again but they are going to need alot more work to make things right, especially with the other games coming soon, heard something about RIOT making an MMo with Ghostcrawler at the helm or something.
I apologize for taking a walk again with my words off topic, but it’s hard to nail down all the grievances and angles that makes this class a rough ride. The high rollers that try and help people, Mez and flarkness are good people. But imagine if fate has appointend them another class in another separate timeline? “yeah dude We sub rogues are a blast to play, here’s how you can improve your play with this guide”, imagine them taking off the training weights so to speak? thats my poorly shown point…My gripe is not that we are garbage dumpster one trick ponies (because that was exactly what we was in BFA, Pve with boS… PvP with chillstreak)… in SL we have so much more. but everyone else also got so much more, so things have only marginally improved in my humble opinion.
Do not try and be content with the breadcrumb you got while others feast at the table, dont accept when when others beside you say that we are fine with our breadcrumbs while others eat cake because that guy might hope he will get the scraps of said cake if he plays along. rock the boat but not in a toxic way.
