Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
MMO-Champion
Both of them seem to have a lot of mobility making them great BG healers but is one of them better than the other? Im currently leveling both and my Monk is 74 and Druid is 81. But after playing WoW for so long I can barely force myself to get another character to 90 let alone 2. Im really not good at juggling a lot of abilities. Im fine with healing but when I have to do a bunch of other stuff I start to screw up and make mistakes. For Monk do I actually have to use my melee attacks on top of my heals? Which one is more forgiving with a lower learning curve? Is my best bet just to make both on the PTR and play around in some BGs to get a feel for them both?

Make a druid. Monk only has the other option of being a WW which is decently strong in arena but frowned upon in RBG (even though they can be good). Druid has all four specs viable in RBG and three of them viable in arena. You will have options if one spec is broken or nerfed and since you don't want to reroll too often then having a druid at max level is like always having options. Also, now that you can purchase pvp gear for honor after a certain time it is easier to switch between specs.

Yea was kind of leaning towards ditching my monk but watched a few RBG vids from a Monk PoV and they seem very strong. Also when I play my DPS I have the hardest time killing Monks. 2 chi torpedoes and that super flying kick and they are 5 miles from you. Waiting for PTR to come back up since its been down for 7 hours so I can try them both out.

Druids can peace out as well. Revolves around displacer beast and the ability to shift snares/roots.

I recommend mw if you just want to rbg heal, bit if you want to do arena or dps go druid.

Been doing BGs on the PTR with both and its amazing how much Healing the Monk does. I didnt even feel I was doing that much until it ended and I had 15 mil healing done. Also I cant die. If people get on me I just run around spamming orbs in front with renewing mist up and I stay topped off until my team kills them. But Druid has the best offspec. Balance druids are hitting 200k with starsurgers. So basically if someone gets below 40% you can 1 shot them.
WoW just did a BG with 3 MW Monks all of us had close to 20 mil healing done. I bet the other team was so mad. 3 statues, balls everywhere. All you saw were green streams everywhere.Last edited by Lilly32; 2013-07-11 at 03:12 AM.

Mistweavers seem to be more mobile and have more healing than resto druids.

OK just learned the hard way that you dont use Revival with 5 enemy Locks around. Just 1 shot myself.

Diffuse magic does not reduce the damage taken, I have tested it. Originally Posted by saltyharbls

So basically if that ever happens anyone will die its not just me being new to Monks? If they are bad usually I can torpedo away and spam balls in front of me with cocoon up but if they are good I die. Originally Posted by saltyharbls

You can RoP then teleport away...a good monk should always have a teleport down. Originally Posted by Lilly32
