Remove fistweaving

I find it funny healers start giving melee a taste of what they have been through for years AND NOW its a problem. Mr. War you have had terminal melee brain for decades now, perhaps now that you get a taste of what healers have gone through we can start to talk about your 100% uptime.

Until then get used to healers being able to kill you.

Good lord, this game has gone full stupid.

good logic bro
because i am posting on a level 50 mage on the forums i am a mage main

you do realize if i was a mage playing with a rogue priest i would probably farm that comp right?

enjoyable for who lol
i can’t think of anyone who sees a fistweaver in 3s that would say “can’t wait to face this match up” especially from a caster pov

also idk why you are justifying awful game design by comparing it to melee cleaves

one bad thing does not make another bad thing better

also it’s not even close in comparison especially in this meta you can’t even w key as melee anymore but fistweaving literally pretty much has 100% uptime into most casters and you don’t use mana and your entire playstyle revolves around you hopping your auto heals is enough while sitting on someone pressing 3 buttons

I miss when you used to get fully empowered instant cast heal from doing FW, and not “well hope this strange leech attack reaches the right person”

Oh sorry, didn’t realize you were hiding behind a low level alt. My bad.

Lmao players like these is exactly why every xpac arena game play has been going down hill and straight to the gutters

There is a fine line between having an impact in the game and just purely garbage plus lazy game design

And what are you saying are you implying healers have no impact unless they are allowed to sit in the middle of the map, turn brain off and have 100% uptime and act as a dps while having auto healing keep their entire team up?

I am level 61 on this warrior, I play nonFW MW and Hpal in shuffle.

Fistweaving is one of the “fun” ways to heal in a meta that is generally very unfun to heal. The “let healers ungabunga too” was a joke, I do not like ungabunga meta.

If you actually read my posts in this thread you would see that I have said I think the way PvP is going is a horrible path and it needs to stop.

Strange because that seems to be the argument most DPS use. “Oh I need my million gapa closers cuz I do nothing without 100% uptime” or “oh I need to be able to CC someone for 30 minutes or I can’t kill them” or “oh I need to be able to insta-heal myself from 1% to full through MS or I can’t survive” and I could go on with all the silly arguments I’ve heard to justify the insane tools DPS have been give through the years.

Now healers are being given tools to keep up and match and the world is coming to an end, its bad design, overtuned, blah blah blah. I just get sick of the hypocrisy of it all.

Funny that’s always been a healer thing

Does anyone else get hot when they see the word fistweaving?

I don’t play monk I’m genuinely curious as to the difference between fistweave and melee wings HP and why we don’t get as much heat

Melee wings is hard to play and requires you to transition between melee and normal ranged healing styles and positioning. FW just hold W, stay in melee no positioning really except maybe to stay in range of port.

FW also just has high base healing output to deal with incoming damage, Hpal does not and requires proper CD economy.

Basically, if you are not good at Melee wings you will get run over a lot harder than someone who is not good at FW, less pub stomp by low skill players.

AKA skill floor differences.

You hold W and button mash as FW. It either works or it doesn’t. Hpal juggles a lot of CDs, MW was made into a meme.

FW monks are just frustrated WW monks. Hpal melee wings is still a healer with healer things to do.

Funny I can’t remember a time any of my healing classes, and I have played them all, have gone to 1% to 100% through an MS effect, especially with dampening, outside of a LoH crit on my pally. But I’ve done it several times in various expansions on my enh shammy and ret paladin.

Don’t kink-shame the monks.

Just lying

This take is very accurate.

FW is a monkey(a very fun monkey at times).
Melee Wings is a healer.

Lol countless times I’ve seen people get topped thru the old 50% ms, even some memories of wotlk 75% ms getting topped.

Healers are brainless

But this statement doesn’t even make sense

You act as if healers can’t have an impact in this meta unless they are all designed like fistweaver, sitting in the middle of the map with 100% uptime auto healing 3 people while doing budget ww rotations

Also I never said fistweaving is broken, just that the design is garbage and no one enjoys playing against it
