    Devs playing monk?

    Hey guys, just a short question: Does any of WoW devs play any of the monk's spec? I got interested as I didn't see any in the polls for Play with the blues. I follow a bunch of devs on twitter but there is no way that I follow all of them. So I just hoped that someone knows something in that regard.

    Thanks for any and all answers.

    Of course devs play monks...but do they main them? Never heard of one.

    Can safely say with confidence not a damn one plays Mistweaver to any notable level.

    Actually that is incorrect. Chaithi just tweeted that he got Burly; a class designer; in one of his "Playing with the Dev" runs. Burly was on a warrior, but he mains a MW Monk.

    He also said:

    "Found out during Play with the Devs: No plans on bringing back the xp bump for monks from 90-100. Also no plans on changing WW Chi Torpedo."

    Devs don't usually share their main classes/specs because it gives people more reason to assume bias.

    It was pretty funny when GC said he played a Holy Priest when he left Blizzard, dat shitstorm.

    Celestalon played a BM monk through most of MoP.

    MW so bad that its Dev is abandoning it for other classes.

    If I was a dev, I would not be allowed to help with Theorycrafting. Plus I live on the other side of the US. No I used to work with a Blizzard dev before they joined Blizzard. We keep in touch, but I don't pry the nitty gritty stuff. I do provide a few bug reports directly but that is about it.
