What was wrong with MoP/WoD windwalker monk design? I miss tigerseye brew, chi brew, chi explosion, hurricane strike, and healing spheres as fun abilities. There was a mystic personality when I used those abilities; a warrior who used inner peace to manifest as a deadly weapon. Instead all I’ve gotten since Legion is a disappointing class that is a “hurr durr punch kick” personality and is only a gimp version of the demon hunter. I miss MoP/WoD design so bad bros it’s painful to see it reduced to this hallow shell of itself, and more painful when I think Blizzard will take it back to it’s glory days as one of the most unique classes in WoW. I even bought and player Jade Empire to cope with that empty feeling of not being a mystic warrior but nothing has or will ever come close to the class I’ve held so much love for.
I’m also not impressed with the unpruning as they were way too conservative
Makes me wonder WTF the devs have been working on all this time because so far it looks like very little
New shadow priest, giving moonkins eclipises back, all the systems, and trying to acutally make player power being tied to a permanent choice not a crapstorm.
So conservative that Mistweavers didn’t get even ONE ability un-pruned.
Not a single ability that the mistweavers used to have, in say MoP, was returned for Shadowlands. It is a complete farce, they advertised un-pruning and then skipped this spec literally entirely.
I agree, Tigereye brew among other abilities like healing sphere and spinning fire blossom would be great. Sef kinda blows but, I have to admit I wasnt hoping for much but it feels way better not having the stupid ToD.
Well, it’s very complicated for monk. Doing a complete reversal back to the WoD and MoP style would be preferred by a majority of the monk community, yes, but it would also hurt those who’ve discovered their own love for the class/specs as they play currently. I know I’ve heard a lot of people say they like current mistweaver and hate fistweaving, although who knows why.
It would also mean admitting that the legion rework for our class failed, which is something I think the devs are hesitant to do without considerable outcry from every corner of the overall wow community. Shadow Priest got that attention and visibility. And their legion rework is still in the game in the form of talents. So who knows? I think it would better if Blizzard could open up a discussion with the monk community, because they don’t seem to know what they want from the class.
