As a MW player, I really appreciate the fact that you pay much more attention on MW monk in Dragonflight.
However, to make MW a good healer in the current WoW PvP State, you don’t have to constantly buff our healing, but just remove Soothing Mist out of GCD.
MW healing right now is good enough, and with the 10.0.5 changes it’s going to be even better.
But when you buff MW HPS you make the spec stronger, but not better or playable. The problem is that MW, to be able to heal, should cast. If you don’t cast Soothing Mist – you don’t heal. If you get kicked in Soothing Mist – you don’t heal, since MW has 1 school.
Please, remove Soothing Mist out of GCD, as it used to be in MOP, Dreanor and Legion. Make Sheilun’s Gift instant, or put it in a different school, witch will give a MW monk an opportunity to heal in case if he gets kicked in Soothing Mist.
The “other school” is the right change in my opinion.
It’s also laughable that Mistweaver was made squishy to balance the fact that they’re mobile, except every other class has Mistweaver levels of mobility now so we’re just squishy with a DH, warrior or feral with 100% uptime on us.
There was actually a GCD, but it was like a 0,5 sec GCD, instead of the regular 1,5 second.
But yes, it made it so you could cast Enveloping Mist basically instant. The tradeoff was that Enveloping Mist had a Chi Cost and couldn’t be spammed, but it also had no Mana cost, and it healed like 3 times the amount it heals now.
Soothing mist has always been on GCD forever, but in MoP to Legion soothing mist would cancel the GCD of enveloping mist and effuse (now vivify). But yeh this is only way to make them viable again.
