How are the fists in a good place right now? I don't wanna complain about them, because there are a lot of boring/useless skills in the game... but I can't really say the fists are any good.

Wind is useless for obvious reasons.

Earth is not useless... but it's near useless actually.

If you change to FoE when you're attacking something, you're just losing out on DPS, which is more important. Ofc surviving is the most important, but Bloodbath and Second Wind would have to be on CD, and either you've messed up or a healer have messed up... Otherwise there are no need for it, and it's not really gonna help the healers.

If you're not attacking anything, well, that's where you can find some uses of it... but there's a very limited amount of situations, where you're not attacking anything while you're taking single target damage, and you don't wanna use Shoulder Tackle or any other skill just after changing to FoE.

Using FoE on AoE damage is useless, since the healers aren't going to heal everyone less just because you're taking 5% less damage.

It's even more useless now in 3.0, since you want to build Chakra and use Form Shift during downtime.
