Hello everyone,
I’m interested in trying WW Monk for PvP but levelling 1-70 is a big time commitment. Therefore, I just want to make sure it’s the right class for me.
Is the class / spec worth playing and is it relatively simple to pick up at low arena rating?
Thanks
Seriously leveling doesn’t take long in the past 3 weeks i’ve leveled 7 chars to 70 and 3 from level 1, if you push in 1 day you can get to 70.
Heirlooms do help a lot, if you play just a couple of hours a day 3-4 days and your 70.
I’d advice you to give it a try and see, I fell in love with WW this expansion and it’s gonna be my main.
What you need to know compared to before they have a huge burst but not so many survivability.
Goodluck have fun
2s with a healer probably yes.
3s ? No, you are really a glass canon and WW is really one of the speccs that dies the fastest.
Tho the damage is really good, yet not Feral or DH level.
It’s bad , honestly. Idk how people make it work but I genuinely think it’s one of the worst melee right now.
Burst is decent, although not better than dh / feral / fury / dk …
Sustain damage is pretty meh , I feel like you can’t kill anything neither put any pressure outside burst window.
Mobility is good, but again, the classes have so much mobility right now that you don’t really stand out in that regard anymore.
Both their survivability and their self heal are probably the worst in the entire game, you take so much damage , have no way to top your hp bar up, and your big wall has a 6 min CD (LOL?) and karma in its current state is the worst defensive in the game.
You’re basically a glass cannon with no cannon. Wouldn’t recommend it right now.
Too late, already levelled one to 67 haha. I’m having an absolute blast!
You made a huge mistake
Pve is fine
Pvp really really terrible .
Countered extremely easy because of Skyreach mechanican 6 seconds for your burst , every player that knows will pop either a defensive / a cc / or run away .
All his defensive abilities are a joke compared to any other class , doesn’t have anything special to add to the table except ring of peace which is fun and can be used in multiple scenarios .
Touch of karma is out of date , it put’s a 6k dot in df and a hunter can kill you with 1 full rapid fire with double tap if u don’t have any defensive .
I’ve got pvp gear up to date and i press all my keys .
The only thing you will be doing with a ww monk in pvp is kill panicked newbies or run in arena , or be "trained in solo shuffle "
This is my only regret for df , love the expansion but ww monk state is not tested even 1 bit , other classes grew self heals , dmg . monk is in the past way way back .
Until you meet 2 Melees that have more than 1 hand…
I know the issues of ww but how can you say that it’s terrible?
Did you play in this expac as really terrible spec? We can’t say that ww is terrible here since it’s one of the most represented specs and ww player is also at the top of the ladder of solo shuffle (if it’s jot changes yet)
Ww have issues but ladder say that it have strengths that makes him one of the meta/
As in GD this is a false claim:
Especially the average rating shows it. The king of SS is DH followed by fury.
Top 5 is not top1 but it’s not terrible also.
Compare Average rating to min rating and the difference to other Melees.
Also this Data has most WW spots before the nerf. They just dont play it anymore. Can you imagine that after such a nerf it will further drop?
Also WW on spot 10 is not top 5 for me.
Ww is fun to play mechanicly but they are not in a great spot compared to other specs and after the recent nerf, they will probably drop lower on the board. Their burst is incredibly predictable, similer to a paladins and they can only really kill a player in a leg sweep. Since by now most players know this, they are more prepared for it and will easily counter it.
Tbf I’m currently MM so I feel the pain
At least you are used to kite except you are not able to do damage while doing it.
Its the most fun melee class but sadly its only a glimmer of what it once used to be. I strongly believe Blizz class favouritism causes ww monk to suffer.
They used to be 1vs1 kings with great mobility, tools, decent healing and survivalbilty. They gave all the decent healing to DH’s which made WW monks a glass cannon class.
Even a furry war has better healing then a WW monk these days which is ridiculous.
This is not how they used to play. I rather have the comlicated but skillfull ww monk back then the one trick burst pony it now has become.
I’ve gone back to feral as a main.
The healing on monk is pretty decent, it’s just 99% of the monks forget to soothing mist before spamming vivify after a port then port back in to the fight, thats while the DPS has ran to your pillar wasting time and now they have to run back to where they were lol
Soothing mist has nothing to do with HPS.
Vivify heals 10k in 394 while Healing surge of Shamans heal 30k or Regrow heals 43k.
Now ad one tick of Soothing mist for 3,9k.
If you’re lookinig for easy arena rating check literally any other meele, monk is not in a good state at the moment, especially for new players who won’t be able to handle running away so much
Don’t bother, I would have said do it but they’re nerfing the damage because “it’s more than their comfortable with” because someone who sees a tiger decided to not stun the monk and they died. Stupid dev team is clueless. We have no defensives that matter at all. If you pop every defensive, you’re taking the same damage as a warrior who is just afk
Literally all of the monk specs are trash tier on all game modes.
inb4 haters arrive
I know ww are M+ meta, but for how long?
