Are they any good in pvp atm, wpvp, duels?
I see they always running to to heal but it barely heals, but seems a fun class id like to give it a try.
Are they fast at soloing older content?
Yes to all
They are very fast. I’m only 16 but I can see I’m much faster than I can be with 50 lvl mage.
Slightly concerned that the two answers so far might not be from max level monks
I haven’t played this character since November, so take what I say with a dash of salt because there may have been adjustments since then.
The reason WW monks run is that mobility IS one of their defensives. Roll, flying serpent kick, roll. You’re 60+ yards away from your opponent and have a fair chance of healing or disengaging from the fight. In 1v1, there’s not much besides a DK that can hold us in a place we don’t want to be. Outside of 1v1, the other team is probably focusing someone else anyway because you’re not perceived as a massive threat. Some other classes have more stun and interrupt options.
But yes, your heal does very little. WW self-healing got gutted in BfA and we really aren’t the same without it.
I’d say yes.
They’re good as in viable & fun, though my experience is limited to wpvp & bg’s.
They used to be better (faster paced, better healing + mobility + cc + burst + defensives) which allowed for much better gameplay compared to now, but they’re not awful.
For older content I turn WM on, build up (& maintain) Chi with Expel Harm, then zip around spamming SCK.
Currently I have a frost mage, a dh and a ww monk and the monk is the fastest at clearing old content among them. Doing the thrunder throne in about 25- 30 mins and feels can even do better with more focus and effort. Whereas my mage can’t even kill the old bosses as fast, let alone walk around the area at the same speed as the monk. In pve’s monk is fairly safe, easily getting out of stressed situations in raids and dungeons and the damage feels good too. For pvp can’t say anything because I don’t pvp.
Well they do deal decent damage and can stick to a target, that’s what i like. As mentioned before, the mobility is the defense. Meaning you are quite squishy and rely on Good Karma and running away to heal. A warrior or pala can just face tank in pvp in comparison.
