Beta Time

I know it's been a bit of time again since an update. There were changes with the latest beta build that I intended to try out, but I was one of the many people stricken by error 132 so often I just go frustrated and gave up. I'm updating from the launcher right now though so I can get in there and figure some more stuff out.

Mistweaver Feedback

Via: MMO-Champion

Valen posted some awesome feedback on the beta forums for mistweavers describing much of the feel and flow of healing as a monk. There were 2 blue posts that came from that and I just wanted to relay what's going on with the mistweaver monk spec.

Blue Post & Beta Patch Bonanza

Attack of the GAMES!

So as I said, I've been quite behind in writing and I do apologize. All my downtime has been either in the beta, sleeping, or just in general turning my brain completely off to facilitate brain dumping work drama and frustration. We have had a beta patch since I started in it last Monday and we have another one on the way. The first patch brought about a few changes so let's check those out first.

Sparring the Windwalker

Sorry this has taken such a long time to write up compared to the others. Switching from a 7am-4pm work schedule to a 3pm-midnight is absolutely horrible. Anyway, wrapping up the specs and abilities (for now) we have the Windwalker, face smashing extraordinaire.

Note: For this I'm going to leave it at a preview of the abilities for right now. There have been some changes which I will go over shortly. The windwalker "rotation" is still in development. Many things are changing fast so I'll try to keep up with it. I apologize for such a long delay in just this post. Working 4pm to midnight has made me really just sleep, a lot. So check out the Windwalker abilities and I'll be back with changes that have happened so far in the beta.

Staggering the Brewmaster

Ah the Brewmaster. Drunken fighter of the monk class. Nothing like getting totally wasted and picking a fight you probably can't handle on your own. You start brawls and take a beating but you don't even feel it until later. Nothing seems to phase you. Let's take a look at what the Brewmaster can do.

Unraveling the Mistweaver

I'm going to begin looking at the monk specs by checking out the Mistweaver. The healing spec of the Monk class the Mistweaver has a lot of new unique abilities that look like a lot of fun. Bouncing waves of damage/healing around the field, dropping healing orbs, and surrounding allies in a mist that heals those around it and moves each time it heals. All at the same time generating Chi by Jabbing your enemies. So let's explore the Mistweaver.

Information Dump

So this is just going to be a simple "here is everything" post. This will just be everything they dropped on us for the monks. There was of course a TON of news, every current ability and talent, as well as a few changes. Key things like each race might have a different animation for the same attacks, such that Jab on the human above, would look different compared to the Jab of the blood elf behind him. So come on through to the other side (of the jump) to get a read on all the information.
