But why do we have to lose an iconic ability like FSK just to get it. Feels kind of lame not gonna lie.

Almost wish it replaced fist of fury instead

I really don’t find it cool. Movement = damage isn’t really popular or fun IMO – look at havoc dh. And the charge up spells are gimmicky and don’t fit the flow of wow or monk.
And practically we’ll be using slicing wind at the shortest range most of the time. I hope there is a macro that will fire the spell off asap.

kinda feels like it should be an outlaw rogue ability no?

The issue is that everyone’s taking it and Blizz will have to tune WW’s damage around always having this ability which results in basically WWs losing a mobility CD for the same damage as before.
Back in SL, RSK hit for as much as a MS because we didn’t have SOTWL/WDP/AoE multi strike BoK as part of our core rotation, now that we got those, RSK hits for literally 1/4 as much as a MS because the damage is spread to more abilities and thus diluted.

It’s great when there is a slight slope and you don’t go anywhere at all…

Right!! I really miss the days RSK accutally hit. Most of the time now it does less then BOK. If they are going to make us take slicing winds… then they better up the damage a bit, (also add alittle bit of lightning to that animation)

Who’s making you take Slicing Winds? All of the new builds have it as a secondary option to Capacitor.

Slicing winds is not reccomended as a first option so I’m not really sure who all these people taking it are lol.
That being said, it’s a lazy degenerate ability copied from plunderstorm that goes against their “no damage on mobility” philosophy that causes them to remove the damage component of chi torpedo (with good reason). It really should just go away or not replace FSK.

And it’s also one of the easiest things to notice and then counter, with a simple strafe.
Key word i had in there was IF they are going to…
As of now no one is making anyone, but IF they start too then…

I’m fine with taking damage out of slicing winds and putting it back into RSK. I hate all our damage coming from BOK, Feels lame.

RSK hitting like a noodle feels so odd to me. I did most of my monk play during MoP and I remember it slapping back in the day.

10000000% this right here. I was used to seeing big crits from RSK. And now It honestly just feels werid, almost like its just a filler. At times i wish they would get rid of TOD and back some of that damage into our different abilities including RSK.
Also I wish ( i know it will never happen but hey a monk can wish)
We would have an animation like death from above and come flying down with a Axe kick ( with the ground shattering beneath the target’s feet) i know there was bugs with that animation but man I loved it.
But yeah it has been sad to see RSK loose that oomph it use to have.

Rsk use to in average do 15% of player’s health in pvp, currently is doing about 7%.
So it’s definitely just turned into a tool for sure

Blunderstorm crap needs to stay in Blunderstorm. Next we’ll see my class with Flame Whirl at this rate.

Remember
You do not
Have to charge it at all if you use it as a dps skill.
The charge up has ZERO EFFECT ON DAMAGE, ITS FOR DISTANCE ONLY.
I use in my rotation, it hits hard, it hits ae, and it casts fast
Damage is cool and all, but losing the mobility you get from having FSK is the issue. On top of that FSK is probably the most iconic ability of the entire spec. It just feels bad to lose it is all.

Slicing Winds is better for PvP.
