With how close release is, it’s quite concerning how little WW has actually been adressed. A minor damage buff isn’t going to fix all the fundamental problems with both WW and MW

I hate to be a traitor but I’ve already moved on.
I mean, I play all healers anyways but I’ve essentially just dropped my Monk for the time being. Which sucks, because it’s one of my coolest characters.
I mean for MW, there’s a lot of things going on that really bother me. Like low damage tuning, kinda weak cooldown, wonky Mastery interactions.
But there’s also the fact that the actual playstyle that I fell in love with has been completely upended (Emminence, Crane, melee combat healing). And now there’s not even the option to temporarily have access to that playstyle since Way of the Crane PvP talent had been completely removed.
It’s just really shady of Blizzard to completely renege on play-styles like they’ve done with MW now being Holy Priest 2.0.

There is no shame in retreat, fellow Cranedancer.
We may have lost this battle but the war for MW will have other chances for victory. Keep the embers hot and never lose hope!

I’ve done the same. I’ve been a monk main for a long time, thoroughly enjoying all specs. But going forward, I’m only going to play BrM.
After seeing MW ignored and WW still clunking along with a page full of bugs, I just switched my DPS focus over to one of the “pure” DPS classes.
Players like to see their characters get better with gear over the course of an expansion…not actively waiting for the “Windwalker abilities deal XX% more damage” to scale up properly.
I’m drowning
Is it still broken? I was hoping to level my monk at some point when catch-up kicks in to tank Mythics, as not doing that was a major regret I had with BFA.
So uh blizzard… about those promised WW buffs?
“Coming soon”
3 expansions from now
“Lol never”
Have 4 different WW rolls, and not one of them works well. Taking ToD and making it a whatif, instead of a depend… that hurt my rolls.
also, the timing now, global CD - yeesh, it’s tough to build decent pop loads at the beginning of a fight without drinking the green pot first… this seems like a crutch.
just really not even interested in reiterating what others have said in far more eloquent terms…
yer killin meh… WW (when played with love) used to rival some top end DPS. Now we’re lucky to come in at an acceptable melee lvl. Our mobility means nothing now, because we can’t unload in a split second like we used to… now we’re like warriors with no armor.
(this is my opinion, one humble monk who has much to learn)
