WW Buffs!

[Deshi]

"Tiger Palm no longer stacks the armor ignore buff, just applies 30% initially."

"Stance of the Fierce Tiger now also increases your movement speed by 10%."

This makes me so happy! Specially the first buff. This will make it so much easier to keep up the 30% apr buff in pvp! 10% movment its not bad!

Opinions?

Not really buffs.. more like quality of life improvements, this isn't going to fix our damage being mediocre.

Never saw a problem with stacking up Tiger Power x3, but I can see why its nicer to just apply it with 1

I'm curious how good this will be: Ascension now also increases your maximum mana by 15%, and your energy regen by 15%.

Yeah buddy, it's a buff, big time!

Tiger Power
5.0 WW: never used tiger power in pvp. Why? hits like a wet noodle ramp up time too slow.
5.1 WW: Uptime on this buff will be 100% in pvp.

New Accension
5.0 WW: NO ENERGY TO USE KICK... FUuuuuuuuuuuuuu
5.1 WW: SILENCE! I KIL YOOOOOOOOOO

Let's review these changes for pvp specifically:
Tiger Power buff uptime - 100%
10% Movement Speed
15% Energy Regen + an extra chi ball.

Conclusion:
Buff ....................[ x ]
No buff................[ x ]
Nerf ....................[ x ]

Man this is so awesome. Tiger Power can be up constantly while dpsing and tanking? Very nice quality of life change. 10% movement is pretty nice especially cause panda will also be moving less sluggishly, and Ascension! I can't wait to try it out instead of Power Strikes and see if that 15% faster energy regen is worth the change for my dps or tank spec. Great news!

Great improvements I'm very happy with all the changes

[Jayma]

These were obviously pvp changes.

Nothing wrong with that. Monks in general need pvp help.

[Hunterpower]

I may not give up on my monk after all.

same here I was just about to call it with my Monk, well WoW all together and just put full focus in my Gw2 characters for pvp.

[Smashpanda]

The fact you were even contemplating giving up means you're a fake monk!

Never gonna give you up...

Not really, the fact that he stuck with it this long already proves that

Still have major problems for WW in PvP. 10% movement speed is a start. Monks biggest problem in PvP is their lack of uptime on a target. A passive or ranged snare would help immensely.

BrM suffers from the same problem. Impossible to keep shuffle up in PvP which makes you nigh useless.

The only way Windwalker damage is bad is if the player is bad. Our damage is far from mediocre.

I opened this and hoped for Warwick buffs, oh wait....

Uptime is a big problem for sure but I have found speccing into Tiger's lust helped me out big time, IMO adding a immunity to Tiger's Lust would go a long way to putting Monks on par with other melee classes.

[Deleted]

Yeah the Tiger Power change will be nice for PvP, but doesn't do all that much for PvE. As somebody mentioned above, quality of life

Yeah right, using 1 chi instead of 3 is not really a buff huh (at the start of a fight)? Especially for PvP this is big because we can start to nuke faster.

I first thought it was going to be a WW barb buff.

This. I was resistant at first at having to find room for yet another keybind...but Tiger's Lust is pretty much mandatory for PvP.
