Idk about that. Surv seems ok, but currently WW really feels like a downgrade from what it was before prepatch.
Right now in Nyolotha you can average 3.9k to 4.0k dps on a WW monk if you know what you are doing. They are pretty strong in dps.

Haven’t raided in actual ages. Whats the prepatch essence build? Used C&S Major Vers build for the longest time.
Blood of the enemy major is strong, or you can shift to some others like Guardian of Azeroth major essence.
If you can make C&S work but that’s not ideal for raiding. Still strong but not as much as some others as a major.
What about minor essences? Mostly been doing PvP/BGs since prepatch, and it looks like crucible of flame’s dot is doing a lot of damage.
For pvp it is C&S major and crucible of flame minor, vision of perfection minor, and blood of the enemy minor. You can mix things around.
for PVE the major can be a few things: Blood of the enemy, Condendsed life force, or focused azerite beam.
For minor pve: Vision of perfection is good, crucible of flame, blood of the enemy
For more detailed stuff you can mix around check out Monk website " Peak of Serenity"
Hey Blizz We are still here, still looking for those SEF fixes and the big things coming for monks?

With the new announcement of Nov 23rd and no real monk changes at all to help them feel better or stronger…is anyone surprised monks have remained a bugged mess that even the monk community is growing cold towards? All the range dps seem in a good spot but good lord other then Sub rogue and UH DK all the melee look to be in terribly weak spots going into SL. wtf is blizz doing? ah right absolutely nothing for most. The only thing more tragic then WW monks neglect is enhancements “rework” that made it worse? lol what a joke…

I mean we knew, when we didn’t see any changes or feedback until Sept. we knew. We had hoped that there were other more “pressing” things to address and that our turn was coming. And then the delay gave a bit more hope. But sadly we knew where were going to end up. #KungfuStruggle

No one cares about “right now” the system in the game is meant for SL. The BFA systems meshing with the SL is irrelevant. If you are following monk numbers from SL 1st raid tier is sub-par.

Get your backups ready, but don’t let this thread die out.
Mage is already capped and ready to go, Hunter is coming.
Monk will, sadly, be an alt at launch since blizzard have put 0 effort into improving the class. I knew this would happen, but I tried to remain somewhat hopeful. So jaded at this point; I guess that’s on brand for Monk theme.

I don’t want to, I don’t enjoy tanking as much on anything else honestly even if I’m the bullpen guy and will be WW most nights. I want to enjoy playing all the parts of my class not just the one spec that somehow slipped past blizzards fun radar.

Since we are talking changes just redo MW to a purely fist weaving but it only applys absorbs and dodge chance. Ditch revive and change it to a raid wide evasion. If shao hao could shroud an entire island there is no reason why we cant do the same to a few taurens.

Blizz you still have time to keep your promises to us! We don’t have faith anymore, we lost all hope, and you lost your credibility with the monk community. Do the right thing and keep your promises.

I already made my rant. Like what are they going to do in 18 days that they couldn’t do since the Alpha opened up? They aren’t going to do anything, they don’t want to do anything. So long as they still obtain a paycheck doing nothing it doesn’t matter.
I might be becoming overly toxic, but it’s of their own making. A person can only be lied to so much before they don’t care what happens anymore.

Yeah I just linked your rant in a tweet I sent out. I know we aren’t likely to see a change but maybe just maybe we can make some waves.

I just got into playing Monk and am still understanding the class’s weaknesses and strengths. I am currently mist weaving and a bit bummed out about the first weaving only be like a meme dream.

Honestly, and I am being completely genuine here, I think the best thing players can do to get monk changes is abandon the class, let it burn, and hope that a lot of new and returning players pick monk and then quit so it causes some pause among Blizzard’s metric meter maids. (i.e. a disproportionate number of cancelled subs spent most of their time playing monk)
It seems that the dedicated monk community is too small to be a valuable metric, but new player and returning player retention metrics should hold more weight. Convince a friend to try SL as a monk (but secretly hope that they quit!)

That prob won’t happen in the first tier, MW is looking give a very strong pick still for raid and keys. I really wish WW was looking better though, like MW actually feels pretty good but then WW feels awful. And brewmaster is brewmaster so it’s always fine. MW will most likely have a spot in a lot of world first guilds for nathria, just like in uldir.
