Monk or Feral as main alt

I’m currently maining mage which I love but I want a melee too. I’ll be doing 2s, 2v1s, rbgs, mythic+ and the occasional heroic raid.

The main draws for my alt are:
Sustainability
Burst potential
Mobility
2v1 potential

I’ve narrowed it down to WW or Feral. They both seem to fit the bill but I haven’t experienced either at end game.

Any input would be welcome.

I’m playing Brew and WW in M+, where most of my experience will be from.

I love WW. I really dig the mastery playstyle (Combo Strikes: Deal x% more damage when they are not a repeat of the previous ability.). Really changes it up from some other classes.

For sustainability, they are kinda squishy. You can negate some of the damage with Touch of Karma and Inner Strenght/Diffuse Magic/Dampen Harm (Talents). You also have Paralyze to incapacitate a target for 1 minute, Ring of Peace (talent) to knock enemies away from the targeted area, and Leg Sweep for a 6 yard 3 second aoe stun.

Very bursty spec. Dance of Chi-Ji talent, Whirling Dragon Punch talent and Storm, Earth, Fire CD pretty much dominates the burst meters. It also has a good steady DPS outside of that for boss fights.

On of the most mobile classes. You got roll, flying serpent kick and tiger’s lust (even breaks roots).

2v1, not much experience.

I echo the above.

BrM and WW in mythic+ and raids (BrM offspec in raids tho), and I can safely say that it’s very fun. However, there are some squish and vulnerability issues, but im sure over time it will take care of itself.

Simply enjoying the bursty aspect we have indeed. With a reasonable stability when out of burst, but can easily fall off if you’re not doing it right due to combo-strikes, which I actually weigh more positively despite having some disagreements around it.

Not sure on the PvP aspect as I don’t PvP. Most prominent time I went there was to access the Vers/Burst Azerite power in BFA which was highly mandatory for raiding to some classes.

Overall: You won’t go wrong with WW. I had expected WW to be quite the downer at the start of SL, but I am actually happy that I am proven wrong for this one.

WW is pretty solid but I am expecting Blizz to nerf them hard. I think the safer option would be feral because you have more options to play. One or two specs for druid will nearly always be viable. MW is awful and WW is prone to nerfs since they’re overtuned atm.
