no, most people wouldn’t agree.
Dude, I haven’t even loged in since they announced this change. Monk was the only class I liked. I actually just have zero motivation to play and stopped caring.

I really miss Essence Font. I have been healing and trying to push the button it was bound to. I didn’t realize how often I used it, especially during high movement periods of a boss fight. The animation was also nice and made healing look more graceful.

it’s so weird not having EF: to me, it’s always been a class defining ability.
other than revival, i don’t have any thing else to cover mass aoe while having to move. ef was usually one of my most used healing spells in pvp due to that fact. with it gone, there is nothing to replace it with. meh.

I mained a MW monk from Mists all the way to Dragonflight, and then for a couple season in Dragonflight.
I’ve watched the class just continuously get gutted and it’s really sad. Losing stances sucked. I remember them going back and forth with soothing mists existence. How they gutted fistweaving and then started to embrace it in Shadowlands.
I remember when Vivify was a 3 target heal, effuse was the quick heal, and essence font was the big mana intensive group heal.
We just keep getting fundamentally changed and it’s frustrating.

This is my big issue with it being gone. It’s been gutted over the years and wasn’t super impactful, but was pretty much the only thing we had to press while the group is on the move between packs or positioning in fights.
As I mentioned in another thread - since there is nothing available to use, it feels like you are just standing around.

at least now we have a backup. using the Chain Jade Lightning with Thunder Tea. doesn’t quite feel the same, but at least its an alternative instead of only being able to use Jadefire Stomp to get ancient teachings.
