Fantasy MW Patch Notes

[thesmall001]

Imagine opening MMO-C one morning and seeing this on the front page. Wouldn't that just be swell? We'd be a real class just like all the rest.

This looks great tbh, but blizzard literally dont know what to do with mw. like whats is its role? they really need a good raid cds or some sort of DR cd.

-Reduce mana cost of Enveloping Mist by 15-20%
-Reduce CD of Revival to 2min
-Give MW some kind of raid utility like shaman/druid have
-Make Soothing Mist channel-able while moving like it used to be, and increase its duration to at least 10 seconds (but still require you to stand still to insta-cast EnvM / Viv through it)
-Something to reduce the ramp-up time on Vivify AoE healing. Other healers can heal 4+ people just fine, but Mistweaver has to "ramp up" with casting REM and using Rising Mist for a good 10 seconds at least, before you can heal 4 people with it.

That'd be a nice start.

I have been raiding as a MW for years, 3 months ago I finally gave up and unsubbed. I love my monk, I love raiding but I hate the state of my monk, I hate I have to work overtime to achieve what a stupid shammy do with one hand, I hate to push to the limits in m+ when other healers just cruise through it.

I've resigned from my monk, from raiding and from the game (I dont have time to reroll or the wish to play another healer and I only enjoy healing since I started as a priest in Vanilla).

Thank you for nothing Blizzard, you finally killed me!

Yeah, I'd go pretty ham with changes.

my thoughts:
- soothing mist would be in a better place: weaker in some points (more mana costs, casts no longer instant) while having strong niches (healing while moving, pre-big-hit soothing for tanks). It would be too costly to have it always running, but good reasons & moments to use it in many situations.
- shadow boxing would easen the burden of switching between fist&mistweaving a bit and make us less vulnerable to repositioning issues. it would also lower the tedious work of constantly reapplying Renewing Mists - especially with things like Chi-Ji up, where you want to spend as little GCD on non-melee activities as possible.
- Tiger Palm & Blackout Kick especially to help with low DPS. Right now only Rising Sun Kick feels rewarding and ATotM Legendary has some very weak downtimes. With stronger Tiger Palm and Blackout Kick cleave (aswell as Cleaveheal with ATotM) these abilities would feel way better to press
- Expel Harm as it cannot easily be removed due to beeing important for Brewmaster & Windwalker, this abilites could aswell feature some absorb mechanic that is completly missing in our toolkit.

That Life Cacoon the OP suggested with the detonation at the end, and the stacking stam debuff that falls off, is outstanding. Great Idea
