It did not initially make me switch talents , but when i tried to use expel harm it was non compus.
Come to find out , the windwalker talent tree was shuffled in such a way , you have to make the choice between staying alive with expel harm, or the 2 key windwalker monk talents , Earth Wind and Fire and Xuen the white tiger.
Fundamentally they were just taken away , because you cant solo pve without expel harm.
I am worried on the 19th they will shuffle it again.
What? You can definitely do all solo PVE content without expel harm.
That talent makes expel harm auto cast every 15 seconds when you use tiger palm
How is this a negative?
Dont forget that windwalker has some pretty solid defensives and healing already.
Im really failing to understand your problem
I was not seeing an auto cast of expel harm or I never would have messed with it in the first place.
I am not sure it is working as intended, but thanks for the insight.
This is the talent description
"While out of combat, your Chi balances to 2 instead of depleting to empty.
Every 15 sec, your next Tiger Palm also casts Expel Harm and deals 30% additional damage."
Totally a good thing to have.
This is the OP who thinks Blizzard has a personal vendetta against him, because he can’t figure out how to complete a Delve. I’m not sure he has a good grasp on this game at all.
Oh my god its that guy
I didnt register that
Yeah that other thread was… interesting
Fair play, shouldn’t have taken this one seriously
I got baited
But for anyone reading this, monk is in a good place right now.
Super fun, good damage, good healing, good tanking.
If you like the class, please play it.
O gee thank you for your continued support.
My health bar was constantly dropping , if tiger palm was triggering expel harm it would have went up and down.
For gosh sakes it’s wow not rocket science.
And for all of your edification, it wouldn’t surprise me if Ion has my character screenshot on a dartboard in the breakroom.
Just because he doesn’t mess with you, doesn’t mean I am not like an ant in magnifying glass to him.
I love my Monk, she is my main.
I’m having no problems playing her. And I like this talent setup, it’s actually better than it was previously. lol
I agree although i do kinda miss the chi from healing 
But having it be a passive is way better.
Some classes have leach. We have auto expel harm.
Its in no way a negative talent to have.
Edit: lets not forget we also have instant cast vivify after using rising sun kick.
Thats a good powerful self heal we can use frequently
If I wrote down everything I remember back in vanilla you would all commit me to the wow player asylum
There used to be the 3game creators and they would sometimes sorta come on wow.
they used to troll barrens chat (and others ) sometimes to see who would reply and I think Ion was one and he had a security program that he would tag people with that he would refer to as Chuck Norris,
The other GM i think did the night elf stuff, that I know of, and he would sometimes roll a GM character and sell squirrel cages and mechanical squirrels in major cities. I don;t know why , But I told my guildies if somebody offers them a mechanical squirrel on the street TAKE IT.
The third gm I think ended up being the Blood Elf creator in BC , and i think I got him in trouble. Early blood elf characters could hit Z and draw their weapons and type /dance and juggle them , if you had weapon chants it was mesmerizing. he told me not to show anybody but I did not take him seriously an juggled in front of the wrong person and it was nerfed so you cant do it anymore and i think they might have let him go since.
That is like 1/1000th of the times i have knowingly interacted with wow royalty.
I think after wow sold to microsoft Ion came back , so like he is the only one I know is still active.
the only change i noticed is i have to use rising sun kick to get my instant heal instead of having it every 10 seconds passively.
not sure what was the idea behind this. doesnt change much.
I put the talents back, so expel harm would be automatic and I am getting it to heal after tiger palm, but like maybe only a thousand health. My bar goes up a tiny bit. I can sort of balance attacks to make the health bar stay around 80% full, but it is evident the spell wouldn’t save me from a grizzly death.
Ion was never a GM. He started at Blizzard in 2008 as a game designer, well after Vanilla WoW. Might want to double check those notes.
So he flew in from parts unknown , having never seen wow before, and became game director on credentials alone?
A likely story 
Git gud
L2P
I have had no problem surviving without expel harm unless I’m being swarmed, and ToK and Stoneskin are usually enough to out survive whatevers hurting me or give me time to cast expel harm, which I still currently have access too along with SWF and Xuen? And my expel harm still has its instant proc, so I’m not seeing what supposedly broke here?
Edit: correction, I may not have ever been speced into expel harm, as I was thinking of Vivify, meaning I have no idea what has even changed lmao, and if something did change in my spec it affected me so little that I didn’t notice.
