Monks are a bit.... derpy? I can't shake it

I’ve just started playing Monk and it’s fun and fast which is great but I can’t help but feel like the animations are a bit kind of gimicky?

I am not sure they have had an upgrade since MoP and it kinda shows, does anyone else think the same? I’d love to see some actual wind instead of all chi, especially for WINDwalkers.

Swirling white wind effects would look way cooler than green bubbles. What do you think? Any hope for 9.0?

Yes its weird having weapons and punch and kick not using them not even fists…

Well Fists of Fury uses the actual fist weapons, but honestly i don’t really mind it, if i’m not using a weapon and i get unique animations, that sounds like a fair deal to me.

I agree, I’ve never liked that much the windwalker animations.
That said, I really don’t think we’ll see any changes in shadowlands on this front.

No ducking class have had anything but destruction since MOP.

Mistweaver is fine flavour wise.

Windwalker is far too Kung Fu Panda whereas it should be more Dragonball Z

Brewmaster is frankly stupid and I simply cannot connect with the whole ridiculous drinking related attacks and abilities. I find it so jarring and inappropriate to the theme and setting.

Yes, exactly this! WW should be some Jackie Chan/Mortal Combat/Ninja stuff and not these wet towel locker room slaps.

Could use that sweet jab animation back

you mean, stare at the boss for 3 episodes before fighting? :smiley:

I think we cold use some more Kung fu-esque animations.
I like how BRM got the drunken Kung fu style animations, we could do something like those shaolin animations tbh.

There is a very old technique of Kung fu that the fighter imitated to be drunk thinking the movement is blurring the opponent and that it would be easier to dodge attacks. The first that made this technique famous was Jackie Chan. Thats why brewmasters fighting pose is drunk and almost like its going to collapse :stuck_out_tongue:

Guess the guy who came up with brewmaster spec fantasy loved this movie :rofl:

fists of fury is the derpiest skill in the game, actually spinning crane kick also

theyre both actually stopping me from wanting to main monk right now

Ofcourse, fart and burp sounds, flies buzzing, ugly-a$$ zombies, pus, pustules, sores, boils and combat “oomphs” that sound like there’s a metal bucket over your head are much better :laughing:

My dude, nothing can be worse than DK, I’d rather be the derpiest panda brewmaster.

hahah that made me laugh, i cant recall any burp or fart sounds in my rotation xD

I cant hack the animation’s for those things though man, standing in like a still position for 5 seconds just gyrating your fists at not even a fast speed and then spinning/hovering over the ground with one leg at a 90 degree angle haha it looks so stupid
