I'm leveling a monk via PVP. So far I'm up to 19 and wanna share some thoughts
Healing: WAY too easy to lock me down. Not only do I wear a "Kick Me" sign, but I have to channel and display my sign the entire time. I cant "juke" or "fake out" the opposition at all. I get Kicked and my life is over. My melee heal at this level is no way near my "ranged" healing. Not only that, but I have absolutely ZERO burst healing. I went through 3 COMPLETE Channeling of Soothing mists and didn't get a single Chi. But if I do get 3 Chi, whoever I'm healing is almost unstoppable. Problem is it's like playing a slot machine. I am UNRELIABLE to keep the FC up. Melee healing just cannot cut it at this time. Every class has their fast Burst heal (well cept druids) but I have to wait until 32 to get mine. By that time there will be a LOT of people giving up cause we cant Burst heal someone out of a focus group.
Defense: Zero. none. Only option I have is to run. I cannot take focus bursts at all. Priests get bubbles. Shamans get their Riptide. Druids have their Rejuv. Pallys have Holy Shock. I have run and run fast.
PvP gear: Right now it's not bad cause I'm in Looms. But when I get to 70 with PVP gear available and Gemming I'm going to be at a MASSIVE disadvantage. I've got a Rest Druid at 70 right now. Pushing 72% resilience and 19k health. At this rate my Monk will be about 13k health and standard resilience. Again, a liability to my group.
Anyone have thoughts?
