New monk abilities looks cool, im a bit afraid its gona be alot like season 5 when they buff the new class above the avrage to make it attractive.

I think the new expansion is gona be the best PvP based expansion so far with all the changes.


What new abilites do you like and dislike, and what comps would you like to try out with it and what do you think will be the "main" comp for Monk?
(ofc this is just theory the game is in early stage etc    )



I like some of the new abilities and the new Stagger effect.

-  Stance of the Drunken Ox (LVL 10)
Reduces damage taken by 20%, and increases your chance to Stagger damage by 25%.
Stagger
You shrug of attacks, causing 50% of the damage to happen instantly and the remaining 50% to happen 3 seconds later. Brewmaster mastery reduces the after-effect Stagger damage taken.

- Shuffle (LVL 82)
2 Chi, Channeled
Requires Ox Stance
You shuffle around, causing all melee attacks to be staggered. While shuffling, you cannot move, attack, or cast spells.
Stagger
Instant
You shrug off attacks, causing 50% of the damage to happen instantly and the remaining 50% to happen 3 seconds later.

- Ring of Peace
Instant, 2 min cooldown
Forms a sanctuary around you, causing all enemies to be unable to attack or cast harmful spells while within it. Lasts 10 seconds.

Monks were always going to be overpowered.

Some other class abilities seem insane, watching the interview that GC did with Curse, he was talking about a BM ability which allows them to use all pets for a certain time which (in his words) said "would increase the hunter's damage by like 80% for a short amount of time".

So Hunters will either do retarded damage or be completely useless outside CDs (80% more is fucktons).

Blizzard has to rework 90% of the talents/abilities, otherwise MoP is gonna be a even bigger fiasco than cataclysm

[GLopez]

Yeah, like I said in the other thread, the fact 90 percent of these abilities made it past QA shows Blizzard has no idea what it's doing. They don't have a long-term balance plan. They just add abilities they find cool and react to balance changes later, and it all causes a ridiculous balance roller coaster.

I think blizzard actually makes more money by adding new cool abilities. For PvP it sucks, for WoW in general, it's good.

as long as you buy it, they will say whatever you want them to say

[Vexxius]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this seem strange to anyone else?

Elusive Ale (LVL 34)
1 Chi, Instant, 45 sec cooldown
Requires Ox Stance
Increases your chance to dodge melee and ranged attacks by 50% for 45 seconds.



Edit: Didn't see that this was for tanks only. Still seems a bit too strong, as it will always be up.

Touch of Death
4 Chi, Melee Range, Instant, 1.5 min cooldown
Requires Ox Stance, Tiger Stance
You exploit the enemy target's weakest point, instantly killing them.
Only usable on non-player targets who have equal or less health than you.

One-shotting pets anyone?

I hope its something you gain with the spec and not default for everyone in defensive stance.

Blizzard can't even handle us. Don't be surprised if we get ragnaros form which oneshots everyone.
