If I remember correctly, Monks never had race specific abilities. For example, Dwarves/Human Priests used to be the only ones that got Desperate Prayer at level 10. Dwarf Priests also got a Fear Ward at level 20. There was all types of different racials depending on the class.
So, what class specific racials do you think would be available for Monk back then? For the sake of brainstorming and fun, they do not need to be balanced (which is why they were gutted or transformed…). You can also include newer races like allied races, future races, unavailable races even (preferably ones that can be Monk).
So I’ll give some ideas of mine now.
Gnome/Goblin Monk Vacuous Fermentation - Hurl a batch of brew you wouldn’t dare drink, depleting enemy resources and gives a 80% increase movement speed to allies while in the Area of Effect. 1.5 Min Cooldown8 Yard radiusDuration 5 seconds
Void Elf Monk Playing With Shadows - Tear A rift through space 10 feet wide, obstructing players line of sight. (You can click the rift to pass through it.)
Last for 10 seconds. 3 Minute Cooldown
Desert Brew: 1.5 min CD
Upon activation, store x% of all resources spent on spells/abilities for 20 seconds. Activate a second time to gain those resources back.
Brawler’s Takedown: launch yourself at a target up to 15 yrds away using your momentum to knock them to the ground dealing (X)dmg and stunning them for 3 seconds. 2 min cd.
Very Bouncy (Passive): Falling at heights greater than 65 yards causes you to bounce on impact with the ground, nullifying fall damage.
Make a Seat: Sit on your target’s head/face, silencing, disarming, and rooting them until you are affected by an ability that causes you to lose control of your character or decide to move.
Orc Monk: Ferocious Bite You pretend you’re playing a race that can play Feral Druid and Bite your opponent, dealing damage based on Chi consumed. Xuen looks on and laughs at you.
Drinking alcohol can only get you tipsy and will give a stat bonus which stacks. The stronger the alcohol the more stacks are made. The higher the stacks the higher the chance you deflect an enemy’s attack causing your enemy to hit their ally or themselves.
Vulpera
Furry lover (10s channeling, 2 min cd) - wag your tail and perform a furry dance for 10s. Once the dance finishes, all enemies with in 40 yard will be charmed by your furriness and unable to attack you. Damaging the charmed enemies doesnt break the effect because they are willing to be mistreated by your furriness. However, this effect doesn’t affect other furry players, such as worgens, druids in animal forms.
