I love how monk order hall is almost a complete copy-paste of the pandaren starting zone. Heck, even if you go to the place where newly created pandaren appear and start smashing training bags NPC will comment how much potential you have.
I can't think of a better example in Legion where quantinty != quality.
Yeah, no idea what monk class you are playing.
It's not the one I am.
And returning to the Wandering Isle was awesome.
*sigh* if it still works, just FSK before hitting the ground and do the butt slam thing. As the guild monk, I used to arrive to every raid like that... and dude I would start up as high as I could go.
And, IF it still works I get to call you a noob. If it doesn't.. I really give 0.0 fucks.
Only problem with the wondering isle is that it is the PANDAREN zone, not the MONK zone. Blizz has a really, really, bad habbit of blending the two things together. Preach's legacy of the monk video really brought this home, but Blizz really needs to differentiate the two.
You sir are out of your mind. Please look at any respectable raiding guilds parses for pve proof, or any top pvp rankings for pvp that prooves you are just arguing to argue. Monks are non existent.
Mobility is good sure, but not the best (DH is)
Who cares about slow fall.
I don't even main a monk and I feel bad for the class. They are definitely the class getting the lease amount of attention right now.

Biggest and most expansive class hall lol ? its just the starting zone all over again
its all relative. better than ever? aka we're the worst single target in game. MW monk good? worst healer in game atm as well. Theyre up in arms and blizzard is buffing them in 7.2. The only thing in a remotely "OK" spot is brewmaster and theyre not the best tank either but theyre good.
course this is all things being equal at the top end.
Mistweaver Tax noun 1. The effect of both high mana costs, and lack of utility, coupled with requiring specific talent combinations to compete with other healers, while still not being able to compete with toolkits said healers have baseline in any competitive area.
Seriously, all the top guilds rate Monk as second best tank just after Druid. I don't know where your overvalue for Paladins comes from, but they're definitely not on the same level as Druid / Monk who have 100% coverage on their mitigation. Think is, while Brewmaster is the best of the 3 monk specs atm, it's still nowhere near close to the times of OP humongous guards and endless purify from MOP and WOD.
Mistweaver will never be as strong as they were during MOP jab-jab-uplift and super strong Revival that got nerfed bazillion times.
Nah, that's actually one of the coolest things I've seen for monks. My top among the 12 class mounts. No idea why people hate on it.
What next, all DKs should be human / forsaken?
Racial as a "solution" is laughable, it's like saying it's fine Warlocks don't have interrupt because you can roll a Blood Elf Warlock.
WoD Brewmaster were honestly pretty garbage but with insane Guards that made them ignore tank gib mechanics. They were strong but not in a healthy way.
Legion Brewmasters are currently the best they have ever been in terms of a strong and healthy class. Both in play style, at all levels of gameplay and in difficulty of play (if you choose the harder talents).

wat
I think you should check out arenamate.cc and see how "non existent" those poor monks are, both in 3s and RBGs
I'd like slowfall for my warlock though Well, I don't play it anymore, but when I was out worldquesting, I'd just soulstone myself and jump to my inevitable death. How do DKs deal with letal fall damage? Hunters? Shamans?

Leveling and gearing my monk was one of the worst experiences of all my tank alts and I have several 900-915ilvl ones including warrior and druid.
Also, slowfall problems top kek eks dee. Just buy a parachute, glader or just use Aviana's wing (or whatever that quest toy is called). It's such a non-issue.
You seem to be mistaken. Blackrock Foundry brewmaster is tied for the best it's ever been (with Throne of Thunder). Having unlimited Shuffle, unlimited purifies, Guards when things got bad, and having every physical aoe staggerable was as close to the divine as we've ever been, tankwise.
Throne of Thunder brewmaster was a competitive dps, a competitive healer, able to solo tank two-tank fights by simply ignoring the tank mechanics.
The current incarnation of brewmaster is decent, but missing any utility. Having only one ranged pickup ability with a 6-7s cd, travel time, and wonky impact detection is pretty awful. The playstyle is ass. 100% uptime on active mitigation that they swore-to-metzen was not possible and would never allow it to be possible, yet here we are and here it stays.
I'm curious though; what makes you think it's better than it's ever been? I've played it pretty strictly since its release and I'm not even close to your opinion.
I think you seem to mistakenly assume WoD Brewmaster was not strong, it seems you ignored the content of my post and made an entirely gut reaction to it. It's like when people say Jab Jab Uplift was the best time for Mistweavers.
There's a difference between strong and broken. And Brewmasters were awful in WoD from their playstyle to their mechanics, but were carried by very OP mechanics, without those mechanics Brewmasters were a garbage, garbage tank, both as a tank and as a class to play.
Brewmasters in Legion are the best the class has ever been across the board, over every iteration of the spec. No one who isn't a FOTM reroller wants a class that plays completely like ass, is a terrible class but is brought for one ability. Which is why WoD is one of the worst periods of Brewmaster's life.

Every tank is garbage without his mechanics...
BRF BrM was maybe the strongest tank in a content in the whole 12 years of WoW... (ok, let's exclude Vanilla because there was only 1 real tank spec).
Also I liked the playstyle in HFC very much and it was really strong with great control. Imo the strongest tank there as well, though I guess there are others that will disagree.
