Can’t even hide it anymore. MW is a dead class that is basically on the ignore tier along with survival, demo locks, etc. BM is not crazy good as per usual but they kind of had that coming so I guess that is a wash.
WW was good until you all “fixed” it. Just let us all convert to fire mages/boomies/holy pallies as a free one off thing.
There’s no way there’s a class designer or an overall class lead.
Those people’s jobs should absolutely be in jeopardy after the prolonged lack of balance.
Personally i don’t like ww having a baseline mortal wounds integrated into their rsk
They actually did fix WW monk, at least with the clone thing which was 100% an exploit that needed to be fixed. People that don’t want MW monks are just idiots.
I healed with MW thru last half of legion. loved it but honestly it was because I hadnt tried Resto Shaman yet…or resto druid.
WW was fast paced and fun, but it does get kinda boring after a while…but I had the same problem with both DH specs, so its obviously a ‘me’ problem.
Brewmaster. Now that is a spec to love. The brews alone give it great personality…kinda what killed Afflock for me when they stripped it of its personality by removing Lifetap. Got to have a good personality. BM is a fantastic spec IMO.
BM is awesome; it is fun to play. Their abilities would even be fun as a dps non tank spec.
I missed it. How did they fix WW?
Oh wow, sucks to be monk.
Here come non-monks to say the class is fine lol
The class design team during Shadowlands’ development was two people. One of them then quit and told us that in a video.
I doubt anyone at Blizz plays a monk or DH. Outright bad changes and changes which miss the entire point of what’s wrong. Its so tiring.
wow windwalker was so powerful…NOT. fire mage and boomkin reign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjyGI29-cvw
Because you can cross an entire BG in 10 seconds flat
I agree the bug needed fixed. But then they didn’t fix the damage loss. They could’ve balanced that. It’s not as if WW is top tier.
They’re underperforming due to mana issues that were barely addressed.
Better to look here:
For what’s likely to actually happen, not what was being tested.
There was a video on YouTube of one of the class designers talking about why he quit last year. Basically, he thought when he got hired there would be one person in charge of each class and then came to find out there are only two people in charge of all of them, including himself. He did mention that he still loves the game and plays everyday, he just wanted to move on because he no longer felt like WoW was innovative.
Partly addressed but not enough.
With some very smart play managing mana tea and maximizing the fistweaving rotation, you can keep up heals through a raid fight ‘long enough’ to not have your throughput drop out.
My monk is in our ‘alt night raid’ and just did her first clear of Nathria normal last night. I’d say for about the last 20-30% of several boss fights I was ‘out of mana’ but managed to use gimmicks to keep healing.
They need about 3* the mana buff they’re getting to make it play smoothly… But I’m also used to healing on this toon in our main raid where my mana is almost never below 99%…
I keep up a ‘weak aura’ showing me the mana of all of our healers, and on my monk about halfway through the fight I start going below the other healers - but my throughput DOESN’T go down. By the end of the fight, I’m almost out. The other healers suffer more throughput loss from low mana, for me it’s just why I often save Chi-Ji for the ‘execute’ phase, or if I know how long it will take us, try to make sure there’s 3 minutes between my last use and when we’re likely to into execute phase.
They prob don’t know what to do with the class. Aesthetically It seems like some hybrid between rogue and warrior at least for WW.
I thought Demon Hunters were supposed to be the hybrid between rogue and warrior lol
