Found little trouble playing 2s with crane, and without surging mist even at high dampening. Nerfs seemed to have scared people off because I couldn’t find any 3s unfortunately.
Surging mist should have just been removed. It will still be viable against set up comps to top partners, but I don’t think I’ll be specing into it. Could have just removed it alltogether and given us Demat or something passive in exchange
Way of the crane could be removed too, and replaced with Crane stance. I really liked how that worked, but I doubt it would be viable in 3s right now with how crazy damage is. Fistweaving from like s14 was a pretty neat concept. Where it was like atonement healing.
Even if both these tools were removed Mistweavers would still be out performing Disc priests, resto druids, holy priests, and be only slightly behind shaman due to utility that outshines ours.
I think this nerf only really hurts monks that played TSG/WWMWDK/ETC. I don’t see this doing anything at all to those who played wizards. Surging mist was a strong utility and maybe without it our partners will have to consider peeling.
