Why does no one play monks?

Blizzard seems to be really scared of letting classes be too good at AOE damage, which WW monks excel at. We’ve already seen massive nerfs in the past to WW monk for this reason.

Besides being able to heal, Demon Hunter feels like it does everything a Monk can but way better and cooler.

I wish they would make Fists of Fury actually do damage again, yet DH’s get to melt everything in their path with eye beam.

I probably won’t ask you :wink: MoP was one of the best expansions to date.

My Monk is a delight to play. She is a fab healer, does great in battlegrounds on either dps or heals, is extremely versatile and has excellent dps on the recount. Perhaps people don’t play it because they prefer standing there and smashing things with a big axe and having all the mobility of a rock (yep, looking at you, Paladin).

Wtf is this?

They also already have… it’s called a Feral Druid, aka “kitty”. And Camouflage spec for Hunter.

Been maining one since they came out. Probably gonna keep maining it too.
I just love it.
The only class that could ever get me to reroll would be a Tinker class.

Made a monk alt in MOP tried to get into playing a monk then hunter became more fun so monk took a delete to the head.

Probably because they’re not mobile enough. Maybe if they made chi torpedo baseline and reduced the cooldown of tiger’s lust more people would play monks.

I’m waiting for Tortollans.

Except for brewmasters I find monks insanely boring. And brewmasters lost their fun after MoP. Shamans, on the other hand, have only gotten better. Especially enhancement.

I’ve played my monk each expansion since panderia. She even made main in WoD dual specializing in both tank and dps. She’s currently heals in BfA.

I like the way you think.

Hozen Monk please.

I sort of get annoyed they removed the weapon animations for them… of all the things to do removing animations for weapons is not cool >.>. I miss there former jab on release where they at least had cool animations. I think release monk was more fun to play then the current monk.

played monk in D3 few years loved it. for some reason zero Interest still in WoWs version. just don’t evenwn thank about them or Panda class

Yes Kul’tirans can be Monks. I ran one for the sole purpose of getting the heritage armor. The 50% xp buff to 90 is just too good to pass up. From there to 110 is a breeze. I have all the allied races and all can be monk except the LFDs. I currently have a stable of monks. Each day I do the pilgrimage to get an additional hour. My next to go is my Nightbourne who now has 24 hours. Iron Dwarf has 11 and I just got my troll which I immediately made a monk and have 4 hours.

/wave Monk main here :grin:

I play monk, it’s even my main.

It’s quite fun to play as.

Be honest. When we’re talking demand. Do you think they had one-twentieth the demand that high elves did?

I played since Vanilla and played wc3. Never did I see a request on the forums or in game for pandas.

I wanted them from the Start.

…Granted I wanted a Pandaren DEATH KNIGHT or Demon Hunter.
But oh well.
Maybe when Bolvar decides to raise more I’ll get my wish.

I’ve tried, many times, to stick to my troll monk. But it’s just not happening.

The core gameplay just doesn’t click with me. I feel like a rogue without stealth or finishers. I find myself practically flailing at enemies as I try to find an ability that has enough energy, chi, or isn’t on cooldown. Then there’s my slightly-longer cooldowns, my moderately-longer cooldowns, my heals, my movement abilities…

It just doesn’t fit together right, for me. For some folks I’m certain it does, and I’m certain there are classes that click for me that they can’t stand. We don’t all enjoy the same things, nothing wrong with that. I’m just disappointed monk fell into that category for me, because I love the animations of my troll monk flipping and kicking and all that good stuff.

Watching monks is fun. Playing them is not.
