What will you miss about monk when Legion hits?

[Deleted]

Now that we can sort of see what general shape the specs seem to be taking, we can get a general idea of what things we might be saying goodbye to. So what are you guys going to miss about monk when it is removed in Legion, and what did you miss at the start of WoD that we used to have in MoP?


Personally, I'm going to miss when you're fistweaving say in a dungeon, and you use RJW on a very large number of mobs and hence create an obscene number of GotS spheres to an extent you can barely see the floor anymore. It's especially rewarding when you do this and somehow the entire group end up on about 5% hp, then you can use Detonate Chi for about the 2nd time ever in your life, and instantly top off everyone because you simply have that many.

While GotS and Detonate Chi are terrible spells/abilities in general, they were conceptually pretty awesome.

I came up with the rant thread for this purpose. However, as long as this thread can stay on the positive side then I'll allow it.

I personally will miss fistweaving. I have never really healed, being WW full time with the occasional tanking, however fistweaving was just always such a great idea.

Having tested WW on live there isn't anything I have missed at all yet.

[Purpleisbetter]

Being almost the only Monk left on my server. Im gonna abandon the ship in Legion unless WW is tuned to be on par with the pure trifecta (lock-mage-rogue). MW i feel is a lost cause, i wont get fooled twice!

Altho having the luxury of 3 different DPS specs where each one has its own identity and "niche", is a luxury that cannot be measured.

I feel the hybrid tax never ever ceased to exist for real.

[Ealyssa]

Not having ox statue anymore (leg sweep being usually better).

[Leblue]

I'm going to miss always having Dave (even though now I have to talent for him).

I'll miss Dizzying Haze because it was fun to throw beer at things.

I'll miss always having a button to press at every second (free Tiger Palms to fill those sleepy GCDs!).

I'll miss Fistweaving being the fantasy of a mistweaver and the "dps to heal" model being what they were designed around.

I'll miss expel harm and the ability to flirt with death with desperate measures until the moment I die.

[Dragon Claws]

Fistweaving had great potential, but I can see the logic behind why it's being removed.

I'll be the only raiding Monk in my guild come Legion apparently since the Mistweaver we have rolling with us hates almost everything about Legion Mistweavers.

[Moistie]

I'll most likely miss playing my monk in Legion. I dunno if I'll be playing it anymore (MW main).

I'll miss Chi Torpedo, but at the same time I'm glad it gets removed. Strange..

[Teebone]

Fun. We're now just as boring as all the other classes.

[zerr]

monk on alpha feels totally different, so ill miss the entire class I guess but I wont miss stance dancing to fistweave. looks like its time to reroll druid masterace boys, FeelsBadMan

[Kuniku]

probably the existing mana tea mechanic, and possibly the have ReM up on the whole raid and uplifting thing, I pretty much boosted a monk before xmas to potentially play mistweaver in Legion, as I was never a fan of the whole fist weaving thing and all that jazz. However I have found that I enjoy the currently playstyle (as I don't have to fistweave) more than expected - I was never a fan of the randomness of ReM jumping around - but with 3 charges it doesn't matter where it jumps, you cover everyone!

I'll hold judgement until I get alpha/beta access and can play both Mistweaver and Resto Druid, those are my two main choices, and the other will be an alt along with affliction lock. It won't so much be down to "which is better?" but rather which I enjoy more.

[Deleted]

Chi Explosion. I feel the strange void while playing on alpha without it. I hope blizzard comes up with something good for WW that will make me enjoy playing this spec once more (well atleast as an alt beacuse who wants to be a melee dps in 2016).

[Dragon Claws]

I'd love to tinker with the alpha, but no luck. I hear mythic guilds are getting invites for having cleared Mythic HFC and some folks getting invites as early as Gorefiend. And since we downed him for the first time a few hours ago, ...well, yeah.

Kinda hoping that rumor is true.

[Geodew]

All the spell synergies and complexities of Mistweaver made it hard to learn and thus rewarding to master. One could say it's dumbed down now in the sense that it's less complex, if you even consider it similar to WoD Mistweaver. I think I can stay positive, though. I think maybe some depth will arise out of it, like from artifact traits and talent choices. It's a brand new spec to learn, basically, that no one has ever played before.

[Krekal]

Fists of Fury But double jump is worth it. I'm super hyped.

[Volibear]

Uplift.

I'll miss being able to enter combat at max chi with Expel Harm. I cannot bind my Expel Harm button to anything else in alts because I just press it without thinking all the time now.
I'll miss ChiEX, best lv 100 talent. I hope SDS is as fun as ChiEx is.
I haven't paid much attention to what is happening with Brewmaster, but I'll miss playing him if it becomes a dodge tank, fuck dodge. Anyway, I'll miss the statue and Dizzying Haze. Statue is one of the reasons I stuck with monk (most broken spell for soloing old content) and Dizzying Haze is really useful for kiting.
Will miss "free" SCK for pulling stuff and killing things in old world, though i think it always dealt far too much damage for a builder, I'm still not 100% sure whether I should just Jab for more ChiEx or SCK for the extra damage.
I'll kinda miss Tiger Punch buff. I used to play Ret Paladin in MoP, so keeping up a buff has been a part of my priority for a long time now.

I know I won't miss RSK debuff. Missing your first RSK, right before the opener, was really awful.
I won't miss the countless times I tried to ToD something, just to have the mob either die before ToD or have ToD deal 1/10 of what it should deal.
I won't miss Chi Torpedo. Won't miss Soul Cap either, both are awfully annoying things, though Soul Cap is a bit unrelated to the class.

[dixincide]

loss of fist weaving and loss of statue has caused me to abandon my monk forever.

[Jademist]

RIP Uplift ...and I am going to miss the non-talented Serpent Statute skill...why Blizz?! WHY?!
