What was the logic behind taking away WWs windwalking?

I still think it’s funny that my Plate Warrior grabs an easy 1 point 5% movement speed with no trade off but this Monk lost an inherent 10% speed buff named after the spec…

Agreed it’s not the end of the world…it’s still dumb imo.

If they had such a huge deal with it being too good in a group setting (which it really wasnt) they should have just made is a personal movement buff instead and left it at 10%. 2 ranks 5%/10%. and moved it a little higher, not locked behind so much fluff crap for something we’ve had since the class’ inception.

And it kinda sorta is, or rather was, the class identity. It was the super mobile melee dps - until DH came along with their front flipping flappy wings and gliding everywhere.

Depends. I notice it a lot since I use Scars of Fraternal Strife a lot. It’s also very noticeable in PvP.

That said, I’m surprised so many people are ok with a trade rather than annoyed that we could have gotten a flat gain very simply.

Two possible reasons:

  1. They can make you grind a speed bonus in 10.1 or 10.2 or something.
  2. They thought monks were just too mobile.
