Monk Roll Cancel

Is it true that they’re removing the command to cancel rolls mid-animation?

This has to be a joke lol.

roll cancel got big after i quit monk, but i feel pushed to point out that it took me thousands of games to hammer out exactly where in a jump i needed to press roll to get the exact distance i want out of it

didnt even know the jumping before for an exact distance roll was a thing lol

i remember chi torpedo being part of the damage rotation

absolutely hated that mechanic and refused to play ww if that was what u had to do

actually stupid that the roll cancel macro doesnt work

I dont play monk so idk lol but was it considered a bug that it worked that way or has it been doable for awhile and they’re just taking it away?

Been doable all of BFA as far as I know.

Not sure if it was an intentional remove or just an unintended consequence of ability/system/code changes but doubt they put it back in.

Monk feels so much worse/clunky without it in any sort of fight where you are moving often.

Meanwhile actual class bugs are still in and untouched and looks like that wont change either.

We don’t know if its a bug yet or intended.

I can’t for the life of me understand why they would want to remove it…roll becomes largely useless without the ability to cancel it considering the odds of a full length roll being the distance you need to travel is almost zero.

Not to mention there is endless playmaking potential that come with cancel roll…roll double sweeps, rolling bolts, roll sweeping evasion. The skill cap is way higher with the ability to cancel aura.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with WWer…cancel roll not being in the game is legit gamebreaking for monk. It sends a spec that is by far my favorite in the game to something I legitmately wouldn’t play. Thats how big of a deal it is.

That’s hilarious, like arms warriors are bad without self heals?

Warriors ARE bad and at a major disadvantage because of their poor self sustainability. Ignore pain being available to them is going to make them a million times more viable in SL. So idk what your point is here.

Cancel roll is being removed is a way bigger deal than people realize…and if you don’t realize it’s because you likely aren’t very good at monk. Literally talk to any good Monk and they will tell you the same thing; the removal of cancel roll is game breaking. Is monk not playable now? No. Is cancel roll gamebreaking? Absolutely.

Yeah :ok_hand: bro.

You realize the last time you said this you dropped a challenge and then ghosted on said challenge right?

You literally never friended me after I asked you like 15 times and TBH my rating and logs say everything I need to know so i’ve 100% moved on.

The quote wasn’t specifically targetting you when I said “you likely aren’t good @ monk” I was kind of referring to “person” wasn’t trying to target you specifically.

You’ve played monk for ten years but have worse logs and never been higher than 2300 and I got glad in my first season playing the game so this is literally all behind me man. Good luck in the future though.

dude I have screenshots in those post of you straight ignoring my whispers.

SS in that post for you clearly showing that you were ignoring the whispers.

I think its a good change. Fel Rush canceling doesnt exist except for those that use a 3rd party service. Charge is a set distance, Fel Rush is a set distance etc. No more rolling 6 feet to leg sweep me because I had the audacity to shift out of bear form while you were slowed. Good riddance.

this is not true

oh you’re just a dummy or a troll

mystery wraps itself up

this isn’t even true! this is also still doable if you just time the roll!

what do you mean not true? Monks have been doing this all xpac.

he is a bfa glad :man_shrugging:

i mean the phenomenon you describe isn’t going very far away

lag is the only thing that could potentially stop me or any monk who was even awake in wod from nailing a precise roll distance to sweep you casting your crummy little 7 yards away cyclone, otherwise pressing it at the same place in the same jump will always go the same distance

just takes a little bit of practice

cancel roll worked in WoD btw

Also, idk if you can jump roll. So much better than dealing with 100% precision cancel roll macros into legsweep.
