Thanks Blizzard, if only you had a thread full of people telling you they were jacked up during beta…

Said they were useless in his guild. If you watch the full clip he says that it only applies to his guild in a world first setting

Sure but every mouth-breather and window-licker in LFG is gonna take it at face value and think avoiding monks will help them min/max their +4

Just like how fury warriors are useless in arenas
Can’t be good at everything!

Take with a grain everyone. Just because MW doesn’t work for a world first 10/10 mythic clear in their comp that they 4 healed doesn’t mean that MW are not viable. Their best DPS include WW monk, one of the best players in the world but you won’t see them in every raid.
People still haven’t figured out after this many years that METAs only exist on the internet. Every world first kill should teach you guys, every single time, that you build your team around the players you play with and the content you are playing against.
For heroic content it literally doesn’t matter what combination of healers you bring.
For cutting edge mythic guilds who want to clear current content, this very extremely small percentage of the player base, then nitpicking matters more.
honestly, it doesn’t matter for 90% of cutting edge guilds either, that’s the funny thing is it only matters for like the top… 10-20(?) guilds, under that we’re perfectly fine 
He also said brewmaster is currently the squishiest tank for raiding , never thought id hear those words lmao.

Yeah, so? Why should anyone care what some stranger on the internet thinks?

We are squishy tanks right now, because we scale with gear. Brew always comes out ahead end of expansion, whereas less scaling tanks like bears and paladins are good early tanks.
ftfy
tbf the gm of limit is useless in opinions

Its usually the opposite though…monks are the best for prog every other expansion because they dont need gear…

At least he says WW monks are the best class and they would have stacked more had they known how good they were beforehand.
This is the dumbest sh*t I’ve ever read
Yeah tell that to all the world first guilds that ALWAYS had brewmasters tanking until this expasnion, go watch the kills , then get back to me.
Of course you will probably just add more stupidity.

Monks do usually do well in the beginning of a patch and fall off due to bad scaling.

Shocker the pvper knows nothing of pve content . Big yikes dude, you look back to the other world first kills most if not all top Guilds were using brewmasters. In BFA
From what i colloquially know, it’s windwalkers that fall off with scaling, brewmasters scale very well with gear.
Prior to shadowlands they could take the most beating in the least gear, which is why they were the best tanks for prog…sure they may scale but they were strongest without gear too.
Aside from freak cases like nighthold when bears were broken, monks have untill now been the kings of smoothing damage even without gear.
People are also sleeping on brewmaster this expansion like they do every year while we can literally ignore most of the spike mechanics in raid to a degree. DH pretty much got the push this xpac and in the top 100 mythic plus tanks probably 50-60% are demon hunters. If you rely on sims or the opinion of the sweatiest you are going to re main every other patch or two. If you enjoy a spec don’t give up on it.
Big yikes that you’re clinging to MW being good in ULDIR. You’re every old-hat 1-dimensional MW player that is fine being “just ok”. Get out of the way, better players are trying to advocate for this spec please and thank you.
