Warriors and DH animations are soo smooth.
Monk animations are clunky. Roll is horrible for most races, the animations are incomplete.
Monk class lore demands the smoothest fighting animations of any other class out there. But it is currently the opposite.
Nuff said.

One hundred percent,
The proc animation from flurry strikes is what fists of fury should look like.

I don’t think the engine is gonna lend itself very well to updating martial arts moves, and WDP is definitely the biggest offender in mediocre animations. The current animations I feel are better and way more unique than the recycled ones of all other melee classes where they each do the same swings but the swing has a different flat color depending on class, which I found to be so lazy for the melee animations update compared to caster updates.
It’s also all pretty close to impossible when you’ve included hunched over orcs, trolls, and taurens in the picture, or even draenei.

Whenever I play MW the attacks just feel laggy to me, don’t know what it is but it throws me off.
They should do monks like they are in BG3 : have their attacks infused with various effects like lightning , nature , holy etc
Smithing the animations won’t work due to engine probably not being able to do much more
But we can def use some “cool” factor as far as animations goes plus it would make a lot more sence if our fists are infused with the elements to be able to destroy armored enemies in general

I get what your saying but it’s not realistic be have mortal kombat style animations just for one class. All our moves are unique to the other classes and it’s one of the main reasons I like monk, along with the sound effects. I do wish whirling dragon punch was a shouryuken though instead it looking like an accidental double Jump on a trampoline.

The class actions need major updates. The golf swings are goofy but at least they were updated in Legion from good OL’ heroic strike days. I hate
And of course, the disgusting SEF

Agreed. Every other class received updates with Legion. It is understandable monk did not as it was still newish. However, updates have happened in BFA, SL, and TWW. Monks received none. Our animations need updating.
