Windwalker monk CC

Can someone explain why ww monk has only one stun skill (3 seconds stun) with 50sec cd (if you invest 2 talent points into it) ??

We need FoF stun back.

Fel eruption from dh, stuns 4 sec, has 30 second cd.
Kideney shot, 6 second stun, 20 second cd.
Stormbolt, 4 sec stun, 30 sec cd.

We lost it going into BfA for some reason. Blizz never told us why.

Though, I suspect people probably complained.

Idk why they did and I don’t remember anyone ever saying anything about it either. Testing it on beta when it was still there didn’t feel OP at all.
It was one of the strangest changes I’d seen and a start to us not getting communication on why they do things to us

What if FoF prolonged stuns? I think it would be cool if FoF prolonged stuns and even reduced or erased diminish effects on targets that aren’t stunned.

That really wouldn’t help considering the cd of stuns and only rogues and dh have multiple stuns.

I remember FoF stun being deleted at the ends of Legion. No idea why, they never explained the reasons.

I thought they got rid of it after WoD because in legion they allowed you to move while casting FoF so they removed the stun to compensate.

In legion it was a pvp talent. It made it all the way to bfa beta and then 1 week before bfa launch it was removed

Because having a stun built into a primary rotational dps ability forces stun DRs in mythic+ when you otherwise may not have wanted to stun.

FoF while moving adds a lot of flexibility as well, especially on stun immune mobs likes bosses.

Doesn’t explain why it was deleted from PvP talents.

That guy has been trolling it up in the monk forums all day. He even derailed the PTR 10.1 monk feedback thread.

That strikes me as a little odd considering he’s been around for a while. Though, not without absence.

Yeah but he is on fire today.

He even said the MDI is a bunch of low key runners… best in the world, who time higher keys than he has ever bricked, let alone timed, but he called them low key runners.

I vaguely remember people screaming bloody murder when FOF had a stun.

No idea about the PvP side.

The MDI is professional gamers capable of running +28 keys.

Instead they are speed running +22s, which for them are extremely low keys. And they are doing insane pulls to time them extremely fast.

So yes, it is speed running low keys by their standards.

They even have a different event, The Great Push, as the esport for doing high keys.

So…

pvp talents dont work in pve my dude

Who? A small minority cried about it restunning when you would trinket but that was changed start of wod

…I know?

I was saying I don’t know about the PvP side of it.

It was removed from the baseline ability because forcing stun DRs in mythic+ on a core rotational ability was stupid.
