Early on when RoP was completely bananas, a lot of people thought "oh good, monks will be playable in PVP now!"
But since RoP was nerfed down to reasonable levels, it kind of feels like a bait-and-switch to me. People not paying close attention will have heard that monks got a crazy OP new spell, etc....but not know that spell was nerfed down to regular-at-best levels.
So what will we end up with? Tiger's Lust and Chi Wave not costing chi is huge. Nimble Brew is great, and the new mastery is...slightly better for PVP. Does this all add up to enough though? I'm not sure SEF will have a meaningful impact in PVP.
