So WW and MW are full of buggies in beta and they just decided it’s time to go into tuning phase. WW has been a buggy for years now, but I’ll focus on MW, which I know more about.
3/4 of the covenants skills doenst work as intended. The healing spheres are still not implemented. And the Chi-Jin talent still bugged. This hurts so much the spec testing on beta, as fistweaving atm cannot even be tested.
And I’m just talking about bugs. Not even entering in the raid viability ou masterie discussion.
Still, we are the only class that has not recieved one single blue post SINCE THE START OF TESTS. Every class has blueposts about feedback and such. Meanwhile, we are getting our bug covenant abilities nerfed which doesnt even make sente to tune those, because they dont work and thus cant be tested lol.
How the hell can blizz say they are alredy on tuning phase? Does monk even exists?

I stop playing monk for just one expansion and come back to this.

And WW is still nowhere near viable in PvP.
RIP.

are you that angry and worried about beta gameplay? just wait :^) they won’t launch a game with covenant abilities bugged/unusable.

The thing is, they alredy ob tuning phase and with all these bugs is hard to tune abilities without they properly working
Beside thats, bugs are only the tip of the iceberg. MW has a lot of deeper problems that cannot be toched as the most simple aspects of the class dont work. It seems like at launch we may have bugs fixed, but only that, because all of the rest couldnt be well tested or the feedback just wasnt used at all

Blizz seems to only hear feedback when you shout it hard enough so go ahead and do it.
As a fellow abandoned spec (survival) I hope blizz actually listens for once in a while and brings some sorely needed updates to monks

Playing WW and MW monk is really frustrating. Blizz simply doesnt care for monks. The Devs from MoP are clearly long gone and replaced with DH lovers etc.

They absolutely can and will. OP is right to be worried.

Here’s a few cursed ideas.
Maybe they’re leaving a bunch of crap buggy to justify removing abilities in the future.
Or
Maybe they need to leave a few specs unfinished to justify not adding more classes on the empty new class rotation.

Brewmaster might not be super buggy, but it looks way more boring going into Shadowlands. I’m hoping monk as a whole gets another few passes before release, but I don’t have much faith that it’ll happen. I’m trying to decide who my new main will be at this point.

People seem happy about ISB no longer being a maintenance buff, but I personally liked having an ability to weave in between GCDs. The spec having a better “feel” to it was the number one reason I swapped over from bear/prot warrior to exclusively playing my BrM at the beginning of BfA.
So why are you posting this here? There is a beta section you can complain in, although I suspect if this is true someone already did.
I play a WW monk and I really don’t know why you would say this. I find assassination rogue a lot more frustrating to play.
I feel your pain… non healer monk… i feel your pain.

You mean the rotation? Rotation is ok for WW. Everything else isnt.
Numbers are too weak. Too many bugs. Bad skaling. Boring Mastery.
DH ist pretty much WW 2.0

I can charge through walls. I don’t see your problem. These will be fixed. By the way.
YOU HAVE A BETA/ALPHA FORUM FOR FEEDBACK
Where we cycle the same comments “Feedback” over and over since April. Because no bug fixes, no changes outside of changing names. We never even so much as gotten a blue post. Its gotten bad enough, check out this Feedback thread, and see what it devolved into now.
You must either be new, or naive.

I actually don’t find the numbers are weak.
They’re also fine first tier, with how scaling is for WW, they drop off a cliff compared to other classes / specs once everyone gets gear. The time they were decent, that is for the first time above middle of the pack is the time they got hard +15% buffs to everything going from Tomb to Antorus.

Design wise, yes. They haven’t changed.
