These are my two favorite melee specs so far but I’m torn on which one to main.
If you like more upkeep then Enh.
I liked the older iteration of Enhancement, right now I just don’t or can’t find the groove of it. WW Monk is also kinda weird.
Honestly both are actually performing quite well if you look at the average player base. I think you should play both and if one starts to irritate you then drop it.
People telling you, rarely helps. IMO
I think both visually are cool. And both have some neat stuff to add.
Playing melee in SL is a bad look.

I’d prolly go with ww because you already have a monk at 60, they do more damage in a raid setting, and from my pvp experience, they destroy people much more consistently than enhancement. Enhancement does have awesome puppy summoning powers though…

Yeah it’s what is making things hard for me. I like something melee then realize how much range is sought after always. In lEgion I had a terrible time with enhancement with so many wanting me to play elemental.
I think playing melee is fine though, just tougher to break through into groups, guilds, etc… you gotta play what is fun for you, it’s a game.
Between those two specs, the windwalker.

I have both at 60, actually. Shaman is glyphed to summon raptors. :3
Bump, as I’m pondering on this decision myself but for alting and experiencing the Necrolord covenant.
I’d go for monk. Shaman just seem a bit clunky and have a ton of buttons. Monk is a little more simplified. I love my shaman but with all the changes they’ve gone through over the years it’s just hard for me to play them anymore. /sadface

I vote WW monk.
I mained a monk even when they were in a bad place and I did fine. Now they are really good in raid and are also doing fine in mythic. Melee damage taken debuff, utility and karma are nice for it.
With the BfA ToD ability being baled into Xuen is also a direct buff to overall damage. Not only do you get kitty, the damage bonus is added every 4 seconds/20.
Now Shaman does have that windfury totem (which is <3) but overall I see the execution of shaman done worse on the whole.
Windwalker is doing better. Shamans usually don’t do well and when we do we get immediately nerfed.

Ww is okay, I decided to “main” ww for the first time this expansion (I’ve never even had a monk max until sl) and it was fun for the first couple weeks, but now I’m just getting a little bit bored? I don’t know how to put it, but FoF damage isn’t very noticeable, yeah rising sun kick tears people in half but I think I’m re-rolling. I don’t find our rotation very interesting to be honest.
Ww damage is consistent as you have 2 charges of , but enhance does burst harder but it’s very telegraphed. I had a lot more fun playing a lower level enhance than max monk but that’s just my opinion. A lot of people love monks
Yeah I’m still playing my monk, but it’s because I don’t have the time to focus on a new alt/switch mains
(torg grind haha!)
