Monk Role needs Changes

[Makeda]

The fact that other classes are hurting too is unfortunate, but understandable. But what i disagree with is that players (to include people i talk with in person) seem to adhere to the premise thar sense ots dps is high there is no reason to give it attention, other than nerfs. The utter disregard is heart breaking.

I appreciate the comments.

I am not saying it shouldn’t be looked at when class fantasy gets broken...

Rather that the state of balance fir DPS right now is a hot mess, and as monk is actually getting good numbers it’s naturally lower on the priority list.

That said... can you think if a single DPS job that doesn’t have issues right now? Basically black mage. Maybe also machinist but I bet many would not go that far...

It’s a mess out there.

I am glad this game lacks a PTR because I love how on patch day we get to run content blind...

But 5.0 is really making me second guess that... Not sure if the game has ever been in this bad if a state for balance...

When you’re in a toxic dump... washing the mud off your boots can wait...

Also think about the list of changes... the goal should be small changes that have big impact. If 5.0 here and BfA of WoW should teach MMO designers anything it is that massive overhauls are unwise...

Funny coincidence, it seems that the only ones that are aggressively agains my post all are listed as samurai mains. Yall do know monk has been top dog when it comes to dps sense A realm reborn. Its high dps hasnt changed because its rotation hasnt changed sense arr. And noone seems to connect the two. All i see are people saying nerf it nerf it, it has no business being top. ( But it has for a long time, as far as physical goes. Swaping out here and there with dragoon and in stormsblood, sam till they decided to do away with the resistance down debuff and buffed all potencies for every role. Guess the difference for those debuffs were far greater than people understood. And yet all u meta players were so hard on getting rid of it. Well, had to replace it with something, and now monk is back on top, even without 70-80 skills that are unusable.

The devs are trying to push samurai to the top without seeming to understand why monk is so strong. Which is yet another coincidence that just might explain why the monks 60-80 skills are in disrepair. Because they just dont understand the class.
