I was going to dust off my old monk to check out Fistweaving.
It requires Faeline Stomp at a minimum right which would put me at level 50? You really need Awakened Faeline to do it effectively (required?) which would be 60?
Am I missing something or can it not really be tested until 60+?
There is no fistweaving unless you have that talent / ancient teachings.
Yes you will need faeline and rising mist, essential talents for fistweaving
You totally can friend, from as low as getting rapid diffusion and chiji! 
I’m not fistweaving and leveling just fine. You’re not forced to do it.
Yep, I haven’t had a problem leveling but it is something that I wanted to try out and practice. It’s unfortunate that a major part of the play style isn’t even available until end game.
Now I’ll get tossed into the rough with very little experience at 60. It feels like a bit of an oversight.
RIP my future groups! 
Dont worry, it’s not hard to maintain a self-buff and Palm > Kick :_)
