yes. all the yes. i’m biased though… monk’s my favorite class, and goblins are my favorite race!

monk gameplay is fun, and goblins have the most reactive ‘save myself from a long fall’ button of the two races that can do that. :slight_smile:

Play what you want.

If you want to do Star Wars role play I guess. Other wise, no.

This is the answer…

But if you are worried about min/maxing, goblin is a horrible choice. Pretty much none of their racials are helpful for monks.

What would be?

Pure DPS sims say Void Elf, Dwarf, Tauren, and Mechagnome are you best choices. There is a 1.6K DPS difference between Void Elves and Trolls. But there are many races that also have awesome utility, like Night Elves and Dark Iron Dwarves which are also good choices.

It does vary by spec.

Current meta; Both Brewmaster and Windwalker build Crit/Vers > Mastery >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Haste.
Hence the result above.

Mistweaver loves it.

10.1.5 = Brewmaster gets a passive talent that makes Haste the best stat by far and effectively removes two buttons from their rotation (and is a DPS increase of like 10k)

WW will remain the same.

Fancy being a goblin healer/tank monk no issue in about a weeks time.

I don’t like the sound of that. I enjoyed WW and BrM having the same stat priority because it was easy to switch between the two.

13

I know.

I have 0% Haste on my monk too

But yea you can stick to existing BRM talents and playstyle. I will be until they tune the new talent for 2handed because I’m not ready to invest in a Haste/Vers/Crit set yet and redo my gear.

I like goblin animations, but the best animation is if you play them as a rogue because their sneaking tiptoe is the best player driven animation in the entire game

Try it?

Always take the DPS racials with a grain of salt and remember that it’s a computer doing that, it may say 1.6k DPS diff between the top and bottom, but like average player wouldn’t even see half of that

We’ll never copy it directly, so honestly just go with the race you like the most, or have an amazing utility racial (rocket jump is the GOAT for low mobility classes)

18

I’ve seen pulls where dps are bursting 300-400k and we are worried about the difference with racials?

  1. Those sims are single target, so for monks anything is helpful since that is our DPS weakness.
  2. Goblin racials really are worthless for monks. Monks don’t need mobility so there are many other options that are actually useful.

Goblin is generally pretty solid, best on classes with no knockback tools though

Monk has port so it’s meh
