Windwalker is Looking Incredibly Doomed for 10.2

would had been nice if it was White/red Crane related. Dont know like a Crane Feet or tiger paw instead of this weird Snake thing right now that doesnt even feel Monk vibe at all Prefer the old one

yeah or at least look like a dragon not this Zandalari Aztec Snake.

I always thought it should look like the shaman ability Sundering but with a stomp instead.

Ok first Wind Walkers if something isn’t working and your following the guides from wowhead or icy veins Public Service Announcement. They are wrong for DPS in my opinion. Test different builds till you find one that is better. Cause i’m a mythic runner for fun and I can do dps with 130k over all in a dungeon.

at least MW is super good right now
 benched myWW

I also don’t like it. Don’t get me wrong, though, I do think it’s better than the covenant style version we have now.

However, I just don’t like the snakes and I don’t like the fact that this ability is still semi-randomly drawing patterns on the ground. Can we just have predictable s*** to work with? Why is this ability required to have random patterns drawn on the ground?

Adding RNG to the size, shape, and drawing of the ability doesn’t make it more fun to me, I just find it needlessly unpredictable.

Again, I do think it at least looks good and certainly better than the covenant crap. I guess I’m just
 disappointed.

I’ll focus on the positive. It’s green.

If you’ve found things that work better and have the data to prove it’s not just anecdotal then you’re more than welcome to bring it up in the Monk discord. I always make changes to the guides as new and better information become available.

130k doesn’t feel all that high though, but it would depend on gear and difficulty.

This was a very nice way of calling out his int stat. Deserve an award for it

Yet another tuning patch, but this time we got a buff, so we should be looking good right?

Nope. A 6% aura buff equates to real damage increase just shy of 5%. This puts our end gear BIS setup at 225k dps. Guess what the next worst simming spec is doing? Thats right, 226k.

So essentially, windwalker has gotten buffs, and now it has gone from the worst ST spec to, thats right, the worst ST spec. Great buffs!

Monk has and always will be my favorite Class to play, but it’s horribly unenjoyable and down right sad that Blizzard has refused to acknowledge this class. Blanket “X%” damage increases just prove the lack of interest/knowledge of it. WW Monks have historically been the worse scaling class, and have had no real updates in many expacs. The fact that Feline stomp continues to be a choice we’re forced to take is a travesty. No one enjoys that ability nor does it really provide anything towards the class itself.

Xuen should have been on the tier “CD” reduction in this recent patch, and again the lack of knowledge or care towards a class/spec shines again. WW is given blanket, basic tier changes with no really gameplay differences or the sense of getting stronger. Pay attention to the spec or hire someone who can.

My man you need to go outside

Is this the part where you show why you are the only one allowed to have an opinion
 And why does my opinion count as less than yours?

Honestly you come off as a narcissist. Mercator or should I say Holywall, You literarily logged in to just say my opinion is some how invalid because for some reason your opinion should hold more weight
 which is weird because you don’t even play a monk
 you play Shaman main and Pally alt.

Wait are you the dev who was tasked with fixing WW 
 then failed to fix WW. Man that would be hilarious if that was it. Good job on the stupid Aztec looking snake stomp
 Too bad that has zero lore for WW monk and too bad you can’t even spell a players name correctly


I mean if you need a hint it is Top Left Corner of this post.

See that is why I want it to be animated like Enh Shaman Sunder. Just a straight line skill shot that rips the earth up with a stomp.

None of this random curls away from the mobs I’m trying to hit with it. And for the love of Xuen, please make the debuff stick to targets like Bonedust Brew does. This way we don’t have panic when the tank moves or the boss makes us move.

This is hilarious coming from a guy that stoped WW maining again since things get tough. This is what your 3rd time abandoning the WW community when things are not going well for WW?

Let’s see in Legion it was leaving WW to progress raid on DH because it was higher dps and easier to play. Then you left WW to progress on druid. Then you came back for start of Dragonflight but now left and are progress raiding on Feral Druid. So yeah 3 times now you have left the community you’re the self proclaimed leader of WW but you main other toons because it got hard
 every time
 that’s a leader I know, I want to follow. The guy who quits when it gets tough.

^ your current MAIN with raid progress

^ your WW alt that you always leave behind when the going gets tough with zero raid progress.

not like i wanna defend that guy since i dont give a crap, but i dont see your point here, if one spec is doomed what do you expecet fom that player ? to stick with that class ?, and never get invited to any m+ ? because let’s be hones the community of wow knows that ww is trash, tier lists exists and every single one of the has ww at the bottom, or at least get a spot on a raiding guild ?, man if you’re doing mythic and getting those CE the might bring you when that boss is a farming boss, not when you’re progressing on that boss, because most likely you wont meet the dmg need it to kill the bossm if someone plays another toon as a main, why would you care i don’t get it at all

it was a 14 waycrest and details had that as my overall.

Are you attacking me because I said I will update my guides if new information comes out? I’m confused what I did wrong in the post you responded to, or anywhere on here recently.

I am enjoying playing Feral more than I enjoy playing Windwalker right now, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

What you did wrong was interacting with Slade.
