Faeline stomp needs to have no cd

Until it does, fistweaver will be a second class healer. Fun, but other will do it better

Then it would likely be changed to not do damage or heal and it just becomes a maintenance buff for the rotation. Spamming fls every 2 steps doesnā€™t sound better than now.

It needs to have itā€™s name changed and be circular.

Last time I recall, we arenā€™t in shadowlands anymore.

What is this FLS you speak of?

Part of the skillcap of fisty is knowing when to fae. Do you get juked sometimes by tanks that seem settled and then take off again? Sure. But thereā€™s bird for that or if they didnā€™t go very far you can spam a few globals (the reset if you get it hits on the first tick) of lightening from the faeline to bait a reset.

Having no cd would make the gameplay far less interesting. As to whether or not misty/fisty are second class healers, I donā€™t really think so. There is just a lot more to manage than, you know, an evoker.

The damage and heal component isnt even that much. Its main use is for secondary heals from your kicks

Really it just needs to be removed

Completely agree ā€¦ thereā€™s plenty of old monk abilities that were pruned it could be replaced with.

I just hate that itā€™s still here. Iā€™m barely tolerating bone dust brew on BM and WW. I just want the shadowlands abilities to go back to the maw where they belong ā€¦

They totally break class fantasy.

YES!!! Iā€™ve been saying this over and over!!

They can simply make the dmg/heal a dot/hot so spamming it is GCD/mana inefficient when youā€™re not moving. But in M+ there is SO much movement, relying on a proc for your ā€˜bread and butterā€™ healing is just terrible. Sure 90% of the time it goes fine, but it feels terrible that 10% when it doesnā€™t.

Not in high keys. Your CDs in high keys are not for ā€˜oops proc didnā€™t procā€™ moments. You absolutely need to save them for mechanics. Things like hyrjaā€™s storm, Azurebladeā€™s aoe phase, tempest aoe, etcā€¦ You cannot afford to waste crane or revival simply because the tank pulled a bit too far on trash.

Thereā€™s no reason for it to have a CD. Efflorescence (for druids) is similar. Ground based AOE that is used for healing, that has no CD and can be moved if needed. Just leave it to the player to decide when itā€™s mana/GCD efficient to do so.

A circular effect would likely be a lot more useful in general play as well.

A big change would be if they dropped the ā€˜is standing in faelineā€™ flag for resets with the lingering buff.

Why not just remove the requirements on fistweaving? No buff needed you can just always punch to heal.

Making Vivify instant solves a lot of the issues monk has.

When we have a bad Faeline position at least instant Vivify will let you heal while moving.

Like Healing NO20+ Raging tempestā€¦ moving out of Faeline + taking lightning storm+ storming balls is a pain.

Improve our QoL please, bring back instant Vivify

Zero reason why this was removed as it hurt brew and ww a lot more

I agree with the effect being circular.

Iā€™d suggest removing the ā€˜on hitā€™ effect, so it doesnā€™t hit enemies, increase its healing, and change the graphic to a yin yang symbol.

Maybe let the symbol linger, like healing rain / efflorescence, and maybe give it a buff to everyone who stands inside? Who knows, lots of stuff you could do with that.

I donā€™t particularly care what they do with it so long as it is more translucent. I canā€™t see much of anything through it in places like cos on account of the graphic just obliterating the floor and making other blue/purple/sparklies all but invis

Yeah no doubt. But heading toward a boss you simply donā€™t throw one late in a trash pull because you know youā€™re going to need it. The group before the two void bois after bonemaw in sbg is good example: you may be tempted to crane or rev on those spiders and bats pull but you know you canā€™t so if the group screws up kicks you just have to muscle through best you can. Point is, knowing where the cds go is part of the spec, no? FS is a cd.

Yeah, making it circular, recoloring itā€¦ changing some mechanics, basically i donā€™t want fae anything in my toolkit.

I am not a Druid. Honestly it really pisses me off that itā€™s still here.

Should rename it something like ā€œchi stompā€ and make it have some kind of defensive value. I mean it is a capstoneā€¦

Make it reduce damage done to players inside, and increase healing.

This needs to happen! The stupid purple druid swirl makes no sense at all for monk. It just does not fit thematically at all and it was lazy just to leave it like that.

Perma-instant vivify needs to be given back to us too. Itā€™s obvious at this point that it would not make us op. I donā€™t even think having it would make us ā€œSā€ Tier since we still lack bres or lust.

ā€¦purple?

I feel like it would be better as some form of crane symbol, monk doesnā€™t really use yin yang or related chinese symbolism in such a direct manner.

It looks purplish blue on my screen but then again, I do use a glare protector. Either way you are corrrect - itā€™s at odds with everything else in our kit being light green and it doesnā€™t fit at all.
