With Shadowlands being touted as customisation heavy, it would be nice if monks received some upgrades to their animation, since it’s a department that has been lacking for a long time now.
There are five stances in total, each with their own icon and named after their themes; current standard which is neutral (no stance); Tiger stance focuses on punches; Ox stance focuses on kicks; Serpent stance focuses on chi; and Crane stance focuses on utilising weapons, since there’s next to non weapon animations for monks.
For example, if the player chooses the Tiger stance, blackout kick would turn into blackout strike (with hands), rising sun kick would become rising sun punch; if switched into Ox stance, palm strike would become knee jab, whirling dragon punch would turn into round house dragon kick; switching into Serpent stance would turn palm strike into chi strike, whirling dragon punch into whirling chi burst, turn fists of fury into rapid chi burst; Crane stance would turn palm strike into thrust, black out into black out strike (with weapons), whirling dragon punch into whirling dragon assault…etc.
With the only outlier being keg smash for brewmasters.
And if possible, allow us to macro stance changes so that we may stance dance if desired.
