Are we a joke?

(speaking mostly for WW)

So I decided to log on the PTR to see our changes…took me 2 secondes to try them as we really only have xuen that is new. Oh and expel harm but lets be honest it is so underwhelming.

I heard most of our legendaries/conduit etc are bugged on the beta and cant even be tested properly.

meanwhile othere classes get reworks or 12 set of changes before we get any.
Blizz don’t give us an update on if they are even looking at our class.

Are we a joke to you blizzard ?

At this point every single class has gotten a blue post and some tuning except Monks, so if we don’t get anything next patch, it’ll definitely feel like a slap on the face.

We ARE the most broken (not in the good way) and most neglected class on the beta right now.

With that said, I’ve run a few dungeons as BrM and did a few arenas as WW on beta and we’re not too bad (except for MW, they are garbage right now, absolutely worthless at everything). If they fix the bugs and tune the numbers, we’ll be pretty solid. As it stands, some classes are so overtuned that if you run into them in arena, you might as well just afk out. Rogues WILL kill you from 100 to dead within their stun window and there’s nothing you can do because PvP trinkets are basically not buyable yet.

This is why every1 needs to post on the forums more! We need more attention! Use the general forums, monk forums, beta forums and anything else you can think of!

Use everything!

Dang, first I’m hearing of this. Hopefully they give monks more love

We have been abandoned and forgotten…the lost monks forsaken. Most likely hanging up my straw hat and fist weapons and benching my monk on the couch to hibernate. I cant justify playing a class while fun is in no true way able to stay competitive in pve at all.

Yeah, i really want to play monk but if it gets to a few weeks before launch and they dont do anything im going to have to switch or not play.

Yeah, I’d love monk buffs. That way I can be a super monk in PvP and have an even easier time.

No one cares about pvp

That’s a pretty ignorant thing to say, especially on the monk forums considering that pvp is one of the only things this class is really considered good at.

A lot of people including myself enjoy both, and see pvp as an endgame where we can really put the items we’ve earned to use (pvp scaling BS in recent years aside). Both pve and pvp are important aspects of the game, and the fact that you can do both is part of what makes wow fun.

This is a cyclical mechanic where we are underwhelming and need attention then the devs half ash add a buff to rising sun kick by a paltry percentage of some value and then we get quiet for about 6 months and then we get loud again and the devs then give us a great buff and then 2-3 months later they revert it and we’re unhappy again - ad nauseum.

Unfortunately brewmaster is the best of our specs and as that does well we will keep fighting this uphill battle with windwalker. I’m questioning if I’m going to be dying on the monk hill anymore and looking elsewhere.

Yeah, because Demon hunters are totally not like that and arent at all more common than monks.

I beat most DHs. Most of them don’t know how to play outside of mashing blade dance.

I know the pain I want to main MW but being 33% of the healers in a raid means I should be bringing close to that in usefulness and if I’m falling behind that by much it hurts the guild.

Lets get out there and post, tweet, stream, hell TicTok for monks even.

When I googled “least played WoW class” some stats came up showing that Monk is the least played class in the game. While that does make us monk players extra unique it also means that the class is probably lowest priority for tuning and working on. My guess is they will get to the Monk class but it’ll be the last class they work on.

Every single MW we had starting BFA rerolled. ALL of them.

I think 2 went druid, one pally, and one priest. Priest wasn’t great for a lot of BFA, but with the scaling and corruptions now, he is just destroying the meters.

Monks are fine, nothing new but still fine. Feral Druids have nothing new and bring nothing new. You are not the joke to blizzard… Trust me.

MNKs- are we a joke to you?

Shamans- nah that’s our job
