Hey to all brewmaster fans (if there are any left) I started my monk at the end of DF before the tank nerfs as part of my tank collection. Im not a meta player just a guy who loves wow after long day at work. It was going well together with my Dk Dh and Pally my monk was reaching similar keys as my maxed out tanks. Then tankapocalypse happened aka tank tunning. The new xpac started and I started doing what i love - tanking! Loved preseason then the xpac hit…Im pretty sure majority of us feels a similar way about it so i wont poke that bear. I have seen most of my tanks improved in some way and the dk now smack zug zug in meters but i havent seen much improvement to brewmaster tanks. Is the guy who does brewmaster tank on hollidays, are we just forgoten amongst the blizz team? I noticed the warlock community made a lot of fuss this xpac and got some new buffs. It seems to me that the devs have lost their way with class tunning and just knee jerkin to communitys cries.I dont want brewmaster monks to be forgotten in this new wow filled with paladins.Make brewmaster tank great again!
Monk hasn’t actually been fun since Patch 6.0 (WoD)
My personal favourite version was 5.2; this was the BiS version, 5.3 was good, but some of the changes annoyed me, and 5.4 was a bad state of tune making everything too strong just for the sake of pleasing pitiful power trip gamers.
I vote we fully return to 5.2
So is it just a bad toon to pick? It seems great in lower keys then higher up it struggles?
I’m not presently versed on the existing balance state of monk, buy to me it’s a play style problem. This same issue plague the classes I enjoy most and why I quit retail.
A problem I noted with M+ is how the meta shifts in higher keys making some classes weaker and others overturned. Its a rare day when blizz gets PVE balance Good enough that everyone feels Good.
Overall I think the problem is the design of dungeons and the push for the way M+ works and less an issue with the actual classes tho they’re also in need of much love.
Ahh the meta curse… my prot pally breeze thru keys. So then is meta toons just a way to concentrate the dev teams effort due to lack of employees? I feel that they have created more work for themselves with the tank nerfs along with community back lash in keys. Why not revert?
Not sure why man, I think they’re just trying to force re-rolls to keep people playing or something dirty like that.
