Idk why but Monks are treated like n**is hiding in Argentinia 1949, you think you are a loyal customer but both community and devs seem to have joined forces to cleanse the game from the community…
It’s safe to say that Monks require advanced game knowledge because they’re reactively and proactively using defensives. Transcendence, Diffuse Magic, Fortifying Brew, Dampen Harm, Disarm, Ring of Peace, Fists parry, Karma and high Leash, that has to be pressed in order to survive (Expel Harm, Instant Vivify).
Windwalker preordered the expansion and lost 20% Damage overall. I’d say a 2hander Haste build is still a viable DPS, but nerfing Serenity is like a “punch” to the face i’m sorry.
Im aware that PVP is “early access”, that anything changes, but to kill several specs 1 week into season 1 seems cancelled to me.
Mistweaver were viable after years.
Now they removed Bonedust Brew from the talent tree, mastery is not a choice. It seems dead that way. Not to mention this spec has a garbage reputation, tierlists cancelled MW like it’s hiding in Argentinia i’m sorry…
Mistweaver died 1 week into season 1, did it had to happen this way? Personally i don’t have the time to bring up my Shaman or Druid so i think i’ll have to pass on this one.
Feels bad. I play all monk specs, mostly brewmaster but sometimes also mistweaver, and seeing my guildies do m+ and me just waiting for any changes to be able to play again.
Not that I couldn’t do lower mythics or join a pug raid but I won’t be playing this dumpster fire of a class out of principle, I am so done and won’t suffer with this negligience anymore.
I just got into the fistweaving stuff and enjoying it very much, but seeing your comment gave me second thoughts. Is it actually a waste of time despite being one of the most fun specs to run? I won’t be able to go to M+ pugs up to 10 maybe 15 keys once I have a gear because we are that bad?
Yeah, they tend to do that… I’m only lvl 65 at the moment, but I do enjoy it. What I don’t like is the brain dead dps players who can’t press W to move out of an aoe
I must say it … I am a bit worried about these changes honeslty. The removal of Bonedust brew is very problematic… let me explain why :
When you get a bone dust brew proc ( roughly 1 per minute in 3V3 ) for the next 10 seconds, nothing can die unless the enemy has a 1 GCD oneshot (like RMP, Thug for instance). If anything starts to die, the monk presses 1 spell and with all the mastery procs people are back to full health instantly. Then if the assault is prolonged… you can press your regular bonedust brew and pursue with virtual immunity to death.
That is a 33% uptime for what is virtually the best health and life insurance policy in the game.
If mistweaver does not have it… the game gets a lot riskier. The healing through-put remains strong, but people can actually die 50% more often.
However at the end of the day, Bonedust brew does not stand out on recounts/details. It is situational, overall it is pretty weak and clunky because of the travel time. But the momentary advantage that it provides is just far too good.
The alternative choices are not as nice… and Sheilun’s Gift seems to be a very PvE intensive talent with a long cast Time… we will have to find a completely different build I guess.
The one spell that was super under-rated and under-used back in the day was " Chi Explosion ".
In a way, Sheinlun’s Gift was supposed to be an enhanced version of Chi explosion with added benefits and a cool lore.
But we will see how the implementation goes… for now maybe I am missing something. But I don’t see how I could ever use Sheinlun’s Gift in an arena or RBG environment.
blizzard is so out of touch they dont even know what they are doing. nerfing the only real dmg button we have for sustain LMAO. What sustain you cant even attack sh*t cuz if you do we just die. Fury , demo, demonhunter, arcane mage all just running around being unkillable doing way more damage then us but sure strike of the windlord is the biggest issue in pvp right now. Not a 110k hitting the hunt or a 95k hitting deathsweep
