Monk 10-14 Q&A thread.

    • Lots of people i'm sure have had time to either play the beta or to look into the gear, skills, and playstyle of this new class. I'm interested in some basic feedback regarding monks. How will you gear them? What gear should we be saving up? What niches do you expect this class to fill or replace?
     
    So its an agility, dodge stacking build?
     
    I'm pretty sure monks will be using agility, but I don't know that much so you shouldn't quote me on that.
     
    The Windwalker Monk (DPS) uses pretty much the same gear as a feral druid or rouge.

    The Mistweaver Monk (Heals) uses pretty much what a resto druid would wear.

    The AGI Monk hits harder and has more dps abilities but the INT Monk has a stance where INT is turned into AP and each hit also heals yourself. It's pretty cool and it's what I might try in WSG 1st. Up to level 19, the healing monk doesn't get much for heals and will probably be a quite weak "healer" in the WSG.
     
    There are already enough strong healers. So the Mistweaver monk will be played mostly melee like an enhance shammy, but in int gear?

    Healer monks have a stance that converts 200% of SP into attack power.
     
    yeah, i saw that, will that be on top of attack power from strength or agility? because its not that hard to get over 200 sp, and if so a maximized AP set would prob be mixed gear. sort of like we used to roll hunters with int.

    monks benefefit 2 AP/agil, 1 per str much like a druid, DPS spec will gear for pure agility exactly like a rogue, tank spec will most likely either have the same pure agil, or switch in for stamina stack obv.

    healing monks ONLY gain AP as a function of their SP, so 30sp weapon chant, 15 bracer, i still dont know if 16sp>haste though, i assume it will be. agil does nothing for healing monks at this time, so intellect+SP stack for healing for the most througput using the resil staff with 30 sp
    edit: fixed

    you just contradicted yourself, saying to use the agility staff with agi chant on a healing monk...
     
    I suppose the best way to know how a 10-14 Monk twink will be is to just wait. Only got a little less than 5 days. =D Everything in the beta is subject to change up until the last minute of release.
     
    was trying to collect gear and chants.
     
    heh, well its prob the first viable class to play dual 22int chants at this lvl for sure.
