Lets look at the new essences for allll other classes moving into inferno 8. Each one of them has an adjustment to a skill they have never had before. Frost for mage? ok! Abomination skills and Transfusion for BK? Let it be! Barbarian even is seeing essences that, although might not add to their S-tier identity, they are new essences.
Monk on the other hand now has 5 essences that are just, for the most part, repeats of what we have arleady. Sure they are either on a different slot or maybe are “group” based vs solo but they are not new. Nothing new. No way to change our builds. No way to adjust to find a new way to try and out-do other classes.
We are still only able to use the “blink build” in pvp but if you dont have the gems to survive, all other classes have such an easy time 1-2 shotting.
Why are these new essences so similar to what we have had before? Why aren’t we seeing more changes to our class?
