What do WW monks struggle with in PvP?

I know the game isn’t built around 1v1’s, but I main enhancement and get absolutely dumpstered by WW monks. Would WW monk be a hard counter for a spec like enhancement?

I’m wondering what specs WW monks struggle with in pvp? In arenas I know they can be a bit squishy if targeted, but it seems like they have a toolkit to deal with most specs. What’s a weakness they have that crafty players exploit in pvp?

Lol i was about to come in here and say i get rekted by them but u said that and ur also an enhance player lol

I dont have many problems wirh rhem on my ret in blitz. But when i played warlock was a pain and so are good hunters who know how to use traps. Also a good fury warrior or dk.

They got their weaknesses enhance is just very squishy and doesnt have anything but burrow to deal with the burst.

The struggle is real.

I initially started as an enhance main this expansion, but WW is like enhance, but actually good, with better mobility, better defenses, better damage, well… you get the point.

At least your walking. Enhancement feels like it is permanently in the “stuck in the molasses” position on a Candyland board. No where to go, with crap defensives.

Classes that can kite us like mages and evokers

It’s funny that you think WW is strong. To me it feels like i’ve spent 78% of my time in BGs walking below 52% walk speed.

We might be “moving”, but the reality is we are getting dumpstered by ranged dps.
Oh and at least Shaman have an immunity lol. Every class has one but us.

Name all the classes with flat out damage immunities rn

Pally, Mage, … okay Im out after that. Am I missing something?

Most classes are manageable.

A good feral Druid that can stop your go will get you, but ferals that actually know how to play are few and far between

Marksman hunters actually pose a rather large threat if you can’t get on them, once you get on them however things even up.

Biggest pain in the backside without a shadow of a doubt is mages, specifically frost mages.
I have no idea how to begin to fight these losers.

It’s more from the perspective of Enhancement that it seems strong. What can an Enhancement really do against a WW? Outside of an Ascendence window, they outblast you up close, and it’s not an Ele shaman that can just attempt to kite the whole time. As Enhance, you have to also be in melee range to generate maelstrom stacks, so you can only partially kite.

I don’t really know how well they fare with other classes, hence why I’m asking what they struggle with.

Burrow? I mean, it’s a partial immunity. It protects you from direct damage, you still take DoT damage. I’ve died during burrow from Feral and Aff Lock DoT’s being up. It’s also a 2 min cooldown and a pvp talent. It’s okay, but should be baseline at least.

This is the biggest one for me. Just bring back my flower root!

I think enhance’s issue against WW is running out of steam too quickly. WW wins by pacing itself. It does not need to go full ham immediately. It can cycle through CDs more effectively. You can try the same because as a WW gets better, the less likely you can win by brute force.

Yeah. The only way I’ve won is by getting a touch of karma/diffuse magic out of them, and immediately moving into Ascendence. You have to try and trap them with static field/earth grab totem, because they can easily get away once you pop Ascendence. I don’t see much outside of that though. You can’t really stand and trade toe to toe for a prolonged match like you said.

I think mages would be much easier if Tigers Lust worked as a mini freedom. Its frustrating to Tigers Lust out of one root… just to be immediately rooted again. 4-5 seconds of freedom would go a long way

paladin, mage, rogue, shaman, hunter, dh, evoker, sp is 90% but counting it also priests have a 1 sec immunity every 25s with fade, arms has a melee only immunity.

ww kinda has an immunity with ToK but that can be broken with other immunities, but if it isn’t it’s like a 3 sec immunity unless you have a whole group of people beating on you and it breaks immediately, by that nature so does locks with their huge shield that can’t be broken easily

Extreme kite classes are the bane of our existence.

I wouldn’t even consider Karma as “kind of an immunity” even if it was back to 100% of our health.

Rogue doesn’t have a spell that prevents all damage, neither does shaman, neither does hunter.
