I see dead people( or dead specs in this occasion!)
Did you guys enjoy ww while it lasted? Goodbye now , enough of that fisting domination .
How so?
Whatās the changes except some bugg fixes (like canceling fof for wdp)
I think Monk will still be enjoyable in 0.5, in fact I donāt see much in the patch notes to imply that it got badly affected. I just see a bunch of bug fixes and an increase to the damage of Fallen Order, which Iām happy about as a Venthyr Monk.
Iāll admit that the fact that Xuen can now be ccād in some ways made me 
a little but I understand itās for pvp reasons, and Iāll take that if it means other specs can have fun against our class again.
Oh! A venthyr monk!
Howās the feeling of that covenant?
Trying to decide between venthyr and necrolords myself.
Necrolord got alot of survivability in it. But venthyr seems kinda fun and better transmogs.
Okay so even though Iām a Monk main Iām probably not the best authority on Monk performance as Iām quite casual/definitely donāt minmax, but Iāll give it my best shot for you 
(Sorry this got long)
Itāsā¦ interesting. Iāve made a Night Fae Monk since and in terms of DPS and performance, that one performs a little better. Venthyr is just more my thing aesthetically, lorewise and thematically (I create my characters with semi-RP elements and the covenants I pick are based on the choices theyād make rather than my own, kinda!)
Fallen Order is simply another pet that you can have up when Xuen or S,E,F isnāt (assuming youāre WW), or perhaps alongside them if youāre bursting something down, but thereās been times where Iāve actually forgotten to pop it due to how little I feel like it does. Iām sure if I was a proper number cruncher Iād be able to see exactly how good it is, but I think at face value the Night Fae and Kyrian abilities trump it performance-wise. BUT, Conduits, or anima powers if youāre in Torghast, can make it one heck of a beast. The Potency Conduit āImbued Reflectionsā helps a lot, and once I got it, it started to slide much more easily into my natural rotation and it held up decently enough. With itās new buff in 0.5, I think it will become decently viable, especially with Conduits added to it. Plus, you summon a horde of adorably tiny Monks. Who could say no to that!?
Door of Shadows is awesome as a Monk as well, yet another way to keep mobile during those rare situations where Roll/Flying Serpent Kick are on CD. Itās saved my butt more than once.
The best Venthyr Soulbind for WW is Nadjia the Mistblade in my opinion. Thrillseeker and Dauntless Duelist are a force of nature, although I can admit timing pets around Thrillseeker can get a little tiresome or sometimes impossible. Iām surprised I havenāt seen more Venthyr Monks just for Nadjia though, I feel like her abilities work really well with us, but perhaps Iām wrong or have a misunderstanding of more serious raiding/M+ and what it expects of Monks.
Those bug fixes are a 20% AoE DPS and 7% ST nerf

Thanks alot 
Yeah, Iām nf on my human but wanna do one of the others on my orc.

Thatās how Iām handling my mains this expac - two Monks on Horde, two on Alliance, and I just chuck them into whatever covenants suit them the best, one in each! Itās a great way to try them all and it means I can switch Monks when certain Covenants get more powerful without having to redo the whole renown thing. It makes me sound like a madman but Iām an altoholic anyway so I donāt mind the work that goes into keeping all four of them caught up!
My Venthyr Monk is my main one though, and despite its shortcomings I donāt feel any major need to go for one of the ārecommendedā Covenants like NF, it performs just fine, and Iām looking forward to seeing how Fallen Order handles when the buff comes out!
