To be honest, that’s about how it feels right now logging into Legion‘s Windwalker.
I’m sure I’m not the only Monk that logs into another character and immediately feels they’re missing most of their abilities. Newly empty button barsĬonfession: my bars are pretty full. Keep in mind, too, that this is likely to be tuned, but it probably won’t happen until much later on. In other words, our ideal talent build will likely be a mixture of these two extremes rather than one or the other. Spinning Dragon Strike costs 3 Chi, and is only castable when Fists of Fury and Rising Sun Kick are both on cooldown, leading to needing fewer Blackout Kicks for filler. Chi Wave still does not cost anything, but can be weaved-in when you have no other buttons to press. Chi Wave and Spinning Dragon Strike allow you to keep your rotation fluid. Nevertheless, other talents in this build help fill in the holes felt in the passive build.

Rather than rewarding part of your Chi and increasing your energy per second, it fills both. Having full Energy and full Chi makes a player feel like they’re wasting resources. This ability combines Energizing Brew and Chi Brew together, though works slightly differently. There’s certainly a “roughness” to this build as it stands.įirst, there’s the new talent: Energizing Elixir. Here, the rotation feels far more fluid though are far more abilities to manage. This could work well for leveling, but in raids, you will still likely want some sort of cooldown to maximize your damage (and Mastery). You’ll still want to use Rising Sun Kick and Fists of Fury on cooldown, but you won’t have Chi Wave or Chi Burst, and there are no additional cooldowns to manage.
The passive build leads to holes in your overall rotation and with lower energy regen, gameplay feels pretty slow - though not nearly as unintuitive as the current rotation. We’re not doing an apples to apples comparison because Monks on live will have better stats and more energy per second than Legion Monks do right now. That lead me to compare builds for both passive and active gameplay. But before digging into builds, bear in mind that raiders in Warlords will have 20+ item levels on the pre-characters in alpha, which start at ilvl 680. And second: you’re going to have a bad time if you want to go completely passive or completely active. As Legion stands, we’ll be the Hearthstone of Warcraft melee classes.įirst: each and every tier will have some sort of passive. Put simply: Windwalker will be the poster child for being easy to pick up, difficult to master. But encouraging more fluid gameplay and letting better players get more out of their Monks is hardly a downside. With Combo Strikes, certain builds will theoretically be better because they give more fluid gameplay.
This means more advanced players will get a bit more damage out of their Monks - and see more mileage out of Mastery. Now, you use abilities that are not a copy of your previously used ability, you’ll hit a bit harder. Perhaps the biggest change for Windwalkers is our new Mastery, Combo Strikes. The new Windwalker Mastery: Combo Strikes If you’re looking to avoid that, stop now. I will not be delving into spoilers or discussing the Artifact storyline - but that said, there are screenshots that include the Monk’s class hall and some of the newer Legion areas. Heck, it might even change before the editors hit “publish.” Nevertheless, it’s never too early to get a bit hyped about how Monks will play out in Legion, so today we’ll be talking about the new Windwalker Monk talent trees. That everything I’m talking about could change in weeks or even hours. This post is discussing things that are very much in alpha.
