MW Monks are delightful!

Hey, everyeone!

As you all know (this is of course not accurate, no one gives a sh*t), me as PVP also a M+ player.

I haven’t played MW Monk in all these amazing 20 years, or 13 years (if 15 season of MOP arena was in 2014), that’s not the point, so for all these 13 years of playing, I have never played as a monk healer at high levels, well, I knew their basic abilities, mechanics and that’s enough.

When I saw TWW S2 mythic monk’s armor set, I was simply forced to make a monk healer. Okay, that’s all just poetry.

I wanted to leave my another one feedback, at first glance, monks in the healing specialization provided incredibly awesome, high mobility (but this is not news), a powerful chain of healings that depend on each other, bonus helaing with melee attacks, pleasant damage, pretty good saves, Master Aura every 30 sec (which in my opinion should be a maximum of once a minute, but oh well, no one listens to my opinion), Сocoon of course and good CC, I just fell in love with this spec, in comparison with it, DC Priest feels like an old, broken cart stuck in the mud.

By the way, in our ladder (European) I noticed that MW monks have highest rating is around 2150 in 3s, when DC and Holy preists have it around 2700, that’s sad, but this is not the first time I play for a weak specialization and this will be my second alt after the main char from now.

Welcome to the MW club. :dracthyr_love_animated:

Originally, I avoided the Monk class like it was the plague (I wasn’t really digging’ the whole “Kung-fu Panda” vibe), but - when I finally did try it - I loved it. Nowadays, I find it very hard to play anything else - not least of all because of the Monk zoomies. Can’t zoom on a Priest, even if they’re S-tier.

I main priest, but I’ve played all of the other healers at some point or another. MW is delightful. The animations, the mobility, the flavor, the feeling of being able to make fast moves… it’s especially feels good in blitz where slowing/CCing the healer is a huge part of the game. Monk is an absolute delight there.

My problems with monk are that MW is usually kind of a heal bot/not that great outside of blitz brewmaster has historically been a high button bloat low tier tank, and windwalker is kind of dependent on having a lot of burst (which is does right now, but not always). WW is also kid of boring in PvE.

When I look for a class to play it’s a commitment and I want to be able to play multiple roles and do PvE/PvP. I wish Blizz would give monk more love because it has so much potential. I feel like it lost a lot when DH came out as the new high mobility leather wearer.

Idunno, MW is one of the only healers that consistently casts now so I think it’s for the best.

Channels, you wanted to say.

Chen Stormstout is older than kungfu panda

Manifests an engorged line above their heads, one could say.

I would even say more, Kungfu panda creation was inspired by Chen Stormstout.

Just wanted to say that all the spells there are instant, except for one channeled one.
