I mean all these nerfs keep doing is pushing me to play AT in raid. I already play it on most fights because i find it more fun, but if they keep nerfing the CF style of play i’ll just play AT. I agree with Boschoa, we are still in a pretty good spot. Hopefully we can keep this tier set into the fated season and the base class gets a good look for war within.

The nerf sucks, bc it’s a knee jerk reaction with no thought to how it effects the future of the spec after the tier set is gone.
That said, I play MW so vastly different from a lot of you guys. EF is only used for double gusts of Mists or if I have to move and need some group healing. It’s never in my top 5 healing done, I don’t think it’s even in my top 10.
The ability to play the spec in so many different ways is one reason I love it so much.

Again it’s a misguided nerf
Nerfing Essence font when the issue is Faeline stomp
this is always my problem with the viscious nerf cycle. Doesn’t feel good to progressing your character, really feeling the difference with gear. Then the next week all your gear progress from previous week is practically erased. Wish blizz would go genshin style and just let seasons play out and not spam nerf/buff unless somethings ahead by agregious numbers.
MW is still going to be strong, and enveloping breath still will be very powerful.
Although when I see MW in pugs I rarely see any that use enveloping breath well with Yulon.
EF is officially weaker than it was before.
They changed from 6 targets to 5, but buffed 40%.
Then nerfed 10%
Then another 8%
Reduce the EF HoT component but keep increase the bolts please. We want EF to still be useful in M+

This will never happen. The top 1% monks like FW too much and pressing one button to do tons of healing. So Fey Line and SCK is the only thing that matters in m+ at this point. Seeing as blizz lazily caters to that top 1% that likes that degenerate playstyle they arent going to put more effort than needed into monk.
I think a solution would be to remove the cap on blackout kick and add a gradual diminishing beyond 3 targets so its healing/damage is in line with spinning kick at 5 targets or something.
But ofc the challenge here isn’t just finding a solution but convincing people that there’s a problem.
I am puzzled. EF is not the top heals in raid parses.
Why is EF targeted?
If anything, it makes Fistweaving a viable alternative to the CF build
I’d assume that EF is performing above the percentage they want it at. They’re not exactly forthcoming with how they want individual spells to perform so it’s hard to tell what the intention is.
still? it never really was
