    They're middle of the road right now after getting the 9% buff.

    They're pretty solid now but I'm fearful for Antorus release with their really shit tier set. I'm still baffled as to why they thought what they have is a good idea.

    WW is pretty good now but they scale worse than every other class (I think). On top of that, our 4 piece right now is a 13% damage increase tied with the 2 piece from NH. Once they take that away by nerfing it to make it worse than the new raid's set they'll likely wonder why our damage is meh and blanket buff us again like they do every other day. :P

    Were good ST and great at taking down a priority target real fasto. It's a fun class which is what matters most.

    Blizzard balances around the tier bonuses. If they want the tier bonus to be stronger, it will be buffed. If they want a spec to be stronger with a tier bonus thats lacking, they'll buff something else that doesn't effect the tier bonuses.

    Its very unlikely that they'll nerf t19 because the item level gap will mean almost no one will be using it still.

    If you pvp, monks just got hit with a 14.5% agility nerf to the pvp template. OUCH!

    Or maybe that's just for compensating the buff with the same value intended for pve, so that nothing changes in pvp.

    At the same time as getting 15% extra damage. Ouch!

    single target dps should be much better now but ww monks cant cleave at all so don't expect to be top dps on cleave fights like Harjatan or long execute phase fights like KJ, PvP shouldn't be affected much.

    I think we all saw that coming. Since WoD, if they wanted to change something for us, it was a nerf.
    If what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Then I should be a god by now.

    Was also curious on this but it seems I'm still better off playing my DK and DH for now.. atleast until next expo. Hoping for some fun changes to monk then.

    Ive tried many classes but always end up coming back to the monk, even if they weren't very good i would still recommend playing them purely because they are so unique
