only 2 classes left and I dont know which one to go for or even how they stack against each other in 8.2. Out of these two which is the better one to play for this patch?
Too broad of a question. What are your goals for this toon?
In raids priest is outperforming monk in healing and DPS, BrM monk is very very good right now though.
In M+ Monk wins out for the most part. BrM tanks are capable, MW monks are excellent if you have a brez on your team somewhere, and WW monks are excellent alongside a couple other melee. Disc + spriest are lowkey good in keys though too, just gotta play around them a bit.
Monk, easily. You can do every role and as far as healing goes, MW is far more fun than disc or holy priests.
“fun” is super subjective. I think disc is the most “fun” spec in the game in that it rewards you for extremely high level play and punishes you for not knowing the class or encounter very very well.
I guess. I am being a little disingenuous to disc because I’ve got more experience with holy, to which I do think that MW is more fun than that at least. I like MW because I can move around a lot, but I suppose more cerebral players may like disc more.
I have a lot of monks and only two priests.
…But I really like tanking my way through levels, which priests can’t do, so eh.
Disc priests are stupid easy to level though. You can pull entire zones and AoE it down without ever coming remotely close to dying. It’s not the fastest in the world, but it’s insanely safe. Plus queue times for heals aren’t that bad.
I have both, and I would highly recommend monk.
Priest healing just doesnt feel right, regardless of how good it might be. Discipline can be really lackluster at lower levels, and holy doesnt feel efficient at all. Neither spec seems to flow smoothly or be structured in a way that makes it easy to play or understand.
Shadow priests are super fun, but are pretty far behind right now for group content (I think they’re mid-lower pack for dps). They also have some issues in pvp these days compared to other classes.
Monks, on the other hand, are super fun to heal with and while it can be tough at lower levels as well it really ramps up once you get everything unlocked. Single target burst healing is amazing and they seem relatively efficient, though not as efficient as druid/paladin healers. I probably enjoy healing on my druid just a bit more than on my monk, but my monk seems more interactive (throwing punches while healing is just too fun, more so than catweaving or casting on the druid while healing IMO).
Brewmaster is an amazing tank at higher levels but dont try it while leveling, you’ll get flattened. Most people say brewmaster is probably the strongest tank just after warrior for most content right now, and ahead of warrior in some situations.
I have the least experience with windwalker, but it seems decent and is definitely the best option for soloing/leveling.
The correct answer is warrior.
Had to give you a correction there. Have a great day!
