So i would like to adress some of this changes, while most people would look at this and say “Jeez monks are getting love”…
The reallity is that the buff to Fist of fury is the only thing relevant in this post, and that small buff to BoK but right now BoK is in a rough place since it contributes to 5% of our dmg in ST fights and around 1.5% in m+.
Right now we’re playing Shadopan because it’s the only one that’s performing decent at this point and this hero talent revolves around the use of energy to deal damage in the form of flurry strikes, this changes does nothing to that hero talent.
The buffs to Celestial Conduit seems pointless, until they change how the dmg is spread, right now the damage of Celestial Conduit deals split dmg amongs all targets making it great in small pull (2~5 adds) and the worst thing when there are more than 5 targets specially in M+ where there are a lot of non-elites soaking the damage, having a cd dealing less damage than Spinning crane kick is ridiculous, also the fact that all the channeling abilities of monk randomly get CANCELED including this one makes this ability even worse.
Honestly i like this philosophy but I don’t understand why they aren’t targeting any of the AoE spells we use right now, where are the buffs to Spinning Crane kick, if they want to buff AoE that’s our AoE ability, FoF also deals aoe but we can use it every 24 seconds is not an ability that we can spam and if they wanna buff our ST where are the buffs to Rising sun kick, or even to Xuen, Xuen feels like it tickles, haven’t seen a worst damage cd than tww’s xuen is horrible
hopefully they will keep watching ww on future tunning but as it is right now this is not really helping, in the monk discord someone said WW is around 4~5% behind all other dps and this buffs are simming like 4~5% damage increase in ST which means hopefully we won’t be the worst dps spec of them all in the raid, but in M+ probably gonna stay the same
And well, i gotta also say that once again, BrM seems like it’s getting ignored once again, at the eyes of blizz this tank spec should never existed becauses they only make it worse or ignore it,
