Yeah, but even Chi-Ji is really terrible after the changes last week. A perfect rotation while Chi-Ji is active is still less healing than our normal rotation now. The only upside to it is that you really aren’t spending mana, but…it doesn’t have the oomph you’d expect of a 3 minute CD.
I don’t see atotm picking up much steam. Setting aside the fact that it’s still bugged, ToM just outscales it in every way.
I don’t know who Blizzard tapped for feedback when they decided to give Eminence the axe, but that opinion is clearly not indicative of any mistweaver I have spoken with or heard from.
Fistweaving WAS the fun of healing as a monk.
Now? ATofM seems like a sad reminder of what we used to have baseline…not a super gear dependent shadow of its former self.
Maybe it’s time to reexamine the stance on Fistweaving. There have been many wonderful suggestions.
MW how i miss it. it’s been so lack luster the last few xpacs in my honest opinion. I’ve finally given up on it and switching mains this xpac permanently unless by the grace of the Titans something happens to bring the desire to play one again happens.
Maind a MW since MoP and it’s been the one i’ve struggled to play since Legion. I’m not happy with the silence on the matter and i didn’t get into beta but have been watching the forums a lot of good points being brought up in the monk thread. and crickets from Blizz.
so i’ll just play something else. and if by chance they fix it i’ll pick it back up again. if not then…what can you do?
It makes me legit sad to see Eminence removed from Mistweaver.
The reason given was “to move away from the healing by damage setup mode”.
This reasoning is given on one hand, while Disciple Priests were shifted to Attonement (healing by damage setup) on the other hand. Literally in the same expansion! *Correct me if I’m wrong bc I wasn’t here for Legion.
Then, to add salt to the wound, in BFA Glimmer Paladin emerges as another healing by damage set-up spec that is really strong. And Blizzard is even catering to them by making it a talent going forward.
So why was this exact same thing taken away from the original “heal via damage setup” class?
It just makes no sense. None whatsoever.
Time sure is running short… An entire alpha and beta almost complete and almost complete silence for our class.
It’s really sad and disheartening. 
Correct me if I am wrong but won’t this be the second Beta cycle Monks are basically ignored?
I wasn’t here for the beginning of BFA but I’ve heard from several Monks that Monk didn’t get any attention or changes in the previous Beta as well…
Nobody plays them so they get that amount of attention. None. Make another toon. /thread
Sounds like you spent a lot of time articulating this particular reply. Very nuanced and thoughtful contribution to the topic.
Thanks for the bump.
I think he might work for Blizzard. Sounds like what they’re really thinking and saying by ignoring us so blatantly. They probably think if they ignore us enough we’ll fade out like a bad nightmare and they won’t have to address the class issues.
Blizzard:
“Monk has now been deleted. In addition, we’ve given stagger to Guardian Druid.”
Just have to keep making noise. This level of communication is terrible.
They are finally fixing shammies…some brave class had to step in to fill their shoes.
Today’s beta build hasn’t been released yet…
WW is a LOT of fun. Too bad the tuning is in rough shape.
They canabilized the class for DH and Hpally. Now, they cant come up with a good idea. Im not surprised with some of the stuff they are rolling out in shadow lands it seems all the good people at blizzard have left.
You’re not exactly dissuading me here.
If class changers were a thing I would’ve changed my 120 Panda Monk to a Hunter by now or something.
But now I’m too far deep into the expansion’s rep grind to want to suffer through it again. x.x
Just remember – you could be a shama-- oh…
Maybe this is the expansion I finally fully wield a pandaren dk.
find some old pandaria plate mogs, join the venthyr and cosplay as one of the fallen order monks
Pull the “learn how to play monks” cord!
