to be fair i rarely see them in shuffle anymore. Its all disc again which atleast for boomy is a way more enjoyable meta.

But in general you are right fistweaver are terrible to play against and with especially as caster.

I was wondering why the mist-weavers were all banzaii kamikaze mode.

My best advice is just to stun them and disarm as a follow up. Then you chase them down as they try to stabilise.

I only play around 1800, so the monks are probably not the best. Yet, the ones I have met have been basically free kills when they go in deep spinning and kicking.

What’s disarming a Monk going to do?

If I’m right disarm on monk only lock fist of fury anything else is usable (so for a mw it does legit nothing at all).

do they not need a weapon to attack? (never played the spec)

Well, it’s a FISTweaver, not an axeweaver or daggerweaver.

But no, they don’t need weapons. They’re just for the stats.

Looks like blizzard finally fixed a game bug and people are freaking out

says per the main website

Whatever their combat role**, monks rely mainly on their hands and feet -snip-
Combat Roles

Tank, Healer, Damage

Fistweaver is only disgusting in 2s. Playing it in RSS in a big map is griefing. On Tol’viron against casters playing Fistweaver is a suicide.

12

No? I faced different fw teams in 3s on 2350 mmr. Disgusting sht like feral/prot war/fw, even mlx with fw. I couldn’t do anything. I was just being railed and spam interruped and the bit of damage i could do was easily outhealed. My shaman was oom, disgustweaver was 50%.

Ok then yeah if it has someone who can help him like Prot War or Feral then it is disgusting. Especially 3x Interrupt.

14

No. Disarming a Monk is basically just like disarming a Feral. It does nothing. Not worth speccing/talenting into Disarms for those classes/specs.

^ That is the point.

15

They can die only if tunnel by melee cleave but if you are the only caster into this there is no way.

Tbh it’s disgustingly op it’s weird they still didn’t nerf the uptime or the dmg/healing it does compared to melee wings it’s night and day.

16

Agree but unless you have Ret or any other spec that can help you with defences or Frost Mage so enemies cannot kite you then Fistweaver is griefing outside of 2s but yeah in Lock/Mage and some hybrid comps it’s cancer.

17

Ye I mean from my experience I’ve only seen them died really when melee cleave was hitting them or get cheese by mm/ret/arm or feral with a caster.

It’s like when you are the only caster facing melee cleave fw it’s guaranteed lost cause you can’t really do dmg/cc/kite the aoe at the same time, or you need to play with somebody with a freedom and a big map to be able to play the game.

18

If you play heavy CC castercleave you don’t have to kill them. They are extremely vulnerable to CC on Tol’viron for example. It probably depends on the comp.

It’s the most fun thing ever added besides demo lock

Has more of a place than a spec that is hard carried by NPC’s
