hey there everyone, im new at the forums here. First of all i got my monk 90 like 5 days ago, was pretty easy with the good use of enlightment and some rdf. Alright! well I was in need for a healer so why not to try the monk?
I tried it and loved it, you are just unstoppable at WSG with trascendence + easy healing with barely no need to cast. But i've been having some troubles at kitting wars/dk's while generating chi, first i wanna let you guys know that i play with 200ms all the time, so well, as always i try to disable the war while maintaining melee range so disable wont fade away after 10 secs, but sometimes cause of my ping, i have to stay while in melee range for so long to disable him which makes my life impossible (at this point i receive a good amount of damage cause of my 54% resilence, thats what im wearing at the moment). Mostly my healing stuff for single target is ReMist always up + Expel Harm + SoMist + EnvMist, but i get really annoyed by those interrupts i receive while i cast SoMist to cast EnvMist. Fake casting is not a viable solution cause its a channeling spell so what do you guys do? Also, its not like you can spam healing sphere everywhere because you will oom like no tomorrow.
I would like to list my PoV bout the healer monk pro's and con's after playing it around nearly a week:
Pros:
+ Amazing movility with trascendense, tiger lust and roll.
+ Insane burst healing, outheals any other healer in the game.
+ A 4sec "safe" silence
+ Huge burst capability with onuse + Xuen
+ A range disarm that increases your healing done
+ Huge skillcapping with Diffuse magic against dot/anti dispel comps
+ Dematerialize
Cons:
- Needs to be in melee range to be useful, making you a easy target for ccs
- You oom very fast, you need to be really serious about spending chi or you will lose most of the time the mana fight
- Mediocre healing without cds
- Break on damage cc without a glyph to fix it :/
- A stun that mostly shares dr with other classes and needs to be in melee range
cant figure anything else right now, but tbh i enjoy being a monk, and i think it would be cool if we could share our tips each other!
i will end with this, what do you think about fistweaving in pvp? its useful while not bursting?
dont blame my english please, its not my native language (im from SA)
