Hey, moving into shadowlands i strongly believe Whirling Dragon punch and fist of the white tiger should be made baseline. They are way to important to our rotation and mastery to not be taken. Leaving two talent rows to us basically dead. What do you all think?

I especially agree with dragon fist, After playing for it for so long it just feels like part of the rotation and picking anything else would just feel terrible and empty

I believe giving us WDP baseline is a great idea overall, it fixes few problems at once:
First of all, with Touch of Death change we are losing a chunk of our overall damage. ToD is usable usually at most once in a fight with the change leaving us a few percent behind. This could be fixed either with scaling or WDP going baseline.
Secondly, the level 100 talent row is never balanced well. In legion we had Serenity which was somewhat usable from time to time, dependant on set bonuses mainly, and Chi Orbit, a talent so underwhelming it was named Meme Orbit. There was a legendary that could give us this talent for free and it wasn’t even worth wearing. This is really disappointing, this is the last talent row and it should be the most impactful. In BFA however, Spiritual Focus is just extremely underpowered. Storm Earth and Fire as a CD isn’t good enough to justify running the CDR. Serenity with the changes to GCD and reduced damage is extremely underpowered as well and never picked by anyone. I Believe we could have a better balanced tier with WDP going baseline. You wouldn’t have exchange WDP for Serenity making it a more viable option.
As for Fist of the White Tiger, I believe this is a very balanced tier, apart from the Energizing Elixir the talents are close on par. The only issue i have with FotWT is it’s damage. This is clearly just a builder ability but it feels so different from the Strike of the Windlord. It is meant to mimic that ability, however our artifact ability could do enormous damage while Fist barely does anything. I wouldn’t mind it going baseline but please at least make it more impactful.

Everyone that plays WW wants to have WDP baseline, as it’s been the best performing talent since ToS, players have been using it almost exclusively for a while now, it fits the spec very well gameplay wise and also baselining it would open-up talent choices on the last tier.
I made a very large feedback post on the alpha forums, with some visibility there’s hope that WW get changed in the right direction : https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/feedback-windwalker-monk/147015
