I think we were all pretty devastated when they took away fist of fury stun. it really changed a lot of aspects of the class in player vs player scenarios. Do you think with all the other classes getting back major class abilities, we will see fist of fury stun put back into the game? The class feels really dull without it in pvp. It has taken away the identity of the class. its like playing rogue without kidney shot, it just does not feel right. I will admit its a extremely powerful ability being able to lock someone down for a long time. But with classes getting back these major abilities i think its something we need back in our arsenal. Almost all other leather classes have access to two stun abilities and they have never been pruned or reduced. I could go on for hours about this topic and what they have done to windwalker as a class just in general but i think ill end it here. Thoughts on this? And thank you for reading!
I doubt we will see the stun back. People already complain about rogues being able to stun so much.
And yet Blizzard probably hasn’t even considered making them talent Kidney. Do you think they don’t do it because they might lose money from/don’t want to deal with all the salty rogue players?
Jokes aside, it’d be nice to have FoF stun back. If we don’t get it back, it’d be nice to get it’s 1 second knockdown it had with some iteration of HHS at some point in time back so that it’s useful against casters and actually lets us give pause to fury wars, dks, and DHs with FoF because they basically ignore its snare most of the time between snare immunities, burst mobility, and CC.
Not that it isnt nice.
I just have a general hate for abilities that stun AND do damage.
It would also be really bad for mythic+. Disrupting stun DRs with your primary dmg ability…
It really is a terrible idea to reintroduce FoF-stun for this and other reasons.
I personally am glad they removed the stun from FoF in PvE. You have no idea how annoying it is as a tank having a Monk stop your pulls lol.
It had no place in PvE, and there are comps that don’t want it in PvP, ie making your Rogue hit diminishing returns. And thus, it’s a talent.
Just not atm.
The term “prune” has really lost all meaning on these forums.
Never have I ever in my life heard of rouge WW being actual comp, nor have I ever seen it. No clue what you mean by stopping pulls when you should have the grped in a timely manner, where the monk can SCK first. Even if that wasn’t true, who cares about garbage pve . No FoF stun makes the class feel incomplete, takes away a lot of fun comps, makes their damage have to go up (which we saw BFA S1 when all the monks in the torny where randomly 1 shotting with RSK) and cheesy stuff like that is unfun for the opposition. It removes a layer of skill, knowing when to place and use DR’s. And the lock down play style we got was just really unique, not quite a rouge and not quite a warrior. Now we’re just super speed mongo like every other melee other than rouge.
Possible but not too possible, they’ll likely bring something else back rather than Fist Stun unfortunately.
I had a low level question on FoF -
All of my quest rewards have been 2H Staves, then I ding a
level and get FoF in my spellbook, but it says it’s only used
with a 1H weapon, this is confusing, do they want me to go
buy a 1H thats better than the staves they have been giving me?
or will I be getting 1H as quest rewards now that I have
this ability?
thanks
Low lvls the quests werent designed with all specs in mind.
