I’ve been playing as a Human Monk, to pass the time of waiting ’till the next day for dailies. And man, is playing a Monk fun<\/strong>! Currently Level 22 in Duskwood.
\nFrom what I’m seeing, this is a multi-hybrid class. A Rogue, Restro Druid, and Warrior combined into one.
\nFirst off, the Rogue aspect is the quick, hard attacks (even a one-hit kill option). I can bring a guy’s health down in mere seconds.
\nThe Warrior aspect is the Taunt ability, that you can pull an enemy over to you.
\nAnd a Restro Druid, being able to resurrect someone, heal yourself, and clean poison effects.<\/p>\n

This all leads up to one really fun Melee class. Usually I can’t play Melee classes that well, but with these three “aspects”, it makes things a lot easier. Also, Fists of Fury is best for bosses and multiple attackers. It used to be a lot more overpowered back in the Beta (video that I saw someone playing a Monk).<\/p>\n

I got a pretty good rotation too. Two smacks of Jab, two Blackout Kicks, one Jab, one Tiger Palm = Dead hostile. And the Flying Serpent Kick is awesome. Not only can it be used as a temp speed increase, it can be used as a weapon. And I love the Yu’lon-like dragon head that shows up when it’s activated. That makes it more awesome.<\/p>\n

Another Restro Druid-like thing, is the ability to teleport to the Peak of Serenity in Ka-Li Summit in Pandaria, once you hit Level 20. You get training in the ways of the Monk, and the training can actually save your life (even though it’s obvious enough to avoid AoE effects as any class; even a Hunter). But here’s the thing about this teleport; you can go back near<\/em> where you were, which is the nearest… graveyard. Why on earth did they think that was a good idea? Why not the exact location?<\/p>\n

Here’s a funny thing. Once you complete your first training by defeating the master, you get a Daily to do it again. And this is what’s funny. Normally it’s telling me to “come back in the future” to continue my training. With the daily, I get the traditional, annoying “come back tomorrow” statement.
\nWhy do I have the option for a daily anyway? That’s a way bit too early. Dailies are an endgame thing, not at Level 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
