The same as healers, off healing fine, main healing they'll wipe. They usually revert to the role of DPS, but like DISC priests they're not regarded as a DPS class, either.

    Have you ever even played or seen a monk in a raid? Raid healing is amazing, tanking is just as good as any other while putting absorbs all over the raid, and dps keeps up well (actually was top DPS in the only raid I did as WW with my 8/8H DS group). Yes WW can't cleave that's about the only downfall, oh and lack of skill.

    i find my dps monk a bit interesting..its only 78 atm but i call it the single greatest ranged melee class ever made. no seriously....im only in melee range to use jab and rising sun kick then i sit back and spam fire blossom insta 8k crits til im out of chi. which at level 78 is about the same as the and caster casting ..but faster and instant..i also have a 50 yard range.

Transcendence is amazing, spamming healing spheres on the ground when you are really in trouble saved me a lot (like the buff coming to them too). MW are amazing in PvE too. WW don't seem to be bad DPS either, not the best obviously, but not terrible, I mostly use that for dailies after I dropped my brewmaster spec.
    Hahaha where are you getting that Brewmaster assumption from? They are amazing, great mitigation, amazing DPS, shields and heals for the raid. Why would anyone not want a Brewmaster in their raid?

    I don't care much for brewmaster or windwalker but mistweaver seems interesting to me, a completely different way to heal compared to all other classes, I might lvl a monk in the future when I get real bored and need to kill time.

    I think the healing style of Mistweaver is completely boring, uninteresting and could be done by pretty much any drooling so and so. It's far too easy, forgiving and rewarding for bad play.

    they never overly excited me when i was watching beta videos but now that i'm max level and healing arenas, i'm having a blast with mine...monk healers have so many tools for CC and escape in pvp =) it's hilarious to roll and teleport all over the arena so a warrior can't stick on me and even if he does get close, paralysis, disarm, root lalalala

    MW healing forgiving and rewarding for bad play? Unless you're talking about fights like 25m Feng where you just spin like a tornado for most of the fight.... You don't know what you're talking about. Link or no link. Especially in 10m where SCK isn't that effective compared to 25m, MW healing requires quite a bit of planning to be effective (which for me, is the fun part about it).

    Planning? What planning is there? What is hard about:

    - Keep up Tiger Power, 1 button / 20 sec
    - Keep up Serpent's Zeal, 1 button / 30 sec
    - Keep Xuen on CD (anyone using RJW is a failure at Mistweaver)
    - Renewing Mists on CD
    - Uplift @ 2 Chi
    - Mana Tea @ 2 stacks
    - TFT on CD
    - Jab otherwise

    Yeah, it's a seriously hard class. It's easy. Any idiot could play Mistweaver well, it's not even remotely difficult. If you think Mistweaver is challenging, I'm going to bluntly it's because you are challenged. It's the easiest thing to play since Shadowfrost.

    I enjoy the class, especially for solo play as a WW, since the other classes that are similar (rogue, feral druid) have to spend energy to use combo points and leave their combo points on the mob (except for the rogue talent.) Also, chi wave + spinning crane kick = pull 20 mobs and blow them up while never dropping below 50% hp. Fatty goat steak daily is cake.

    NO fist weapons show while doing jab, total dealbreaker!

    No, that's hunter.

    Cause DK is less dull ? Not sure if serious...

    WW even with the nerfed rotation is still one of the hardest melee to master. And I play every class (every class to 85+, paladin, Dk and monk allready 90).

    You might wanna link something to prove that.

    No I don't like them either.

    I have no inclination to roll one, doesn't interest me in the slightest.

    Pretty sure they fixed that in mid DS.

    yeah wasn't that great waiting until level 30 to finally get another heal. Good thing pvp and dungeons at that level are always faceroll anyway. I'll get the healer to max level at some point and we'll see if I have the motivation to level the tank.

    I played one to 86, but restarting from 1 when 5.1 finally comes out. I am excited to level without the clunky-ness of having to stack tp 3x at the start of every fight, for the 10% increased movement speed, and for the change to ascension. 5.1 can't come soon enough :3.
