Hello,
I have been playing my monk more intensively in the last few weeks and talent row 15 feels kinda useless to me. Maybe I am the only one but with shadowlands on the horizon it would be a good opportunity to make this talent row more interesting and impactful.
Change suggestions:
Chi Burst:
Hurls a torrent of Chi energy up to 40 yrd forward dealing 4% of you max HP as damage and marking up to 5 enemies then the energy returns dealing the same amount of damage. When the Chi returned to the monk heals the monk and allies within 8 yrds for 2% of the monks max HP for every mark enemy hit with the Chi on its way back.
1min cooldown.
Chi Wave:
A wave of Chi energy is send to an enemy dealing damage equal to 4% of the monks max HP and then jumping the the most injured ally within 20 yrds healing for that amount. Up to 5 Chi waves can be stored. When used releases all stored waves.
Charge/cooldown 12 seconds
Eye of the Tiger:
Every 6 seconds your Tiger Pam becomes empowered gaining 10 yrd extra range and dealing 2% of the monks max HP as damage.
Would appreciate you thoughts on the topic.
Do you like the idea or do you think this row is fine?
So the first two are basically the same concept as what we currently have except with an extra gimmick.
Chi burst is interesting as it rewards hitting targets and predicting movement, not sure about the cool down, it’s a raid talent atm and with 30 second CD, already feels pretty long and you can’t really always get full value. It also feels extremely weak for single target fights. I think Chi burst is fine as is, and it applies mystic touch to everything already.
Chi wave is interesting I like the charge system. I doubt you’d use this often below 5 stacks so it essentially has a 1 min cool down embedded onto it.
Last suggestion I don’t understand as it provides no healing and unless they allow MW to heal through damage (like a paladin/disc) then it would never be taken. Dead talent.
I also dislike the max hp scaling. Especially considering the current system where you are penalized sometimes if you wear higher ilvl for a corruption from a WQ. Make it spell power/int instead.
TL:DR keep Chi burst as is currently, Chi wave change seems cool, no to third. Swap max % to spell power(int).
Make the eye of the tiger one extend hots or increase their healing allowing for more fistweaving options.
