What Do You Like About Battlemonk?

I've been working on my "Let's Fix Warrior 2" suggestion for a minute now, but I would like to ask this question before I solidify my changes to Monk. Notably, Monk has different types of perks, its mobility side (Whirlwind Strike and Aerodynamics) and its AoE combo perks (Thunderclap, Cyclone, and Tempest.) My own personal biased is to simply get down to Whirlwind Strike and ignore everything below it, which is notably most of the combo perks, however, I wanted to see what the general community liked about Monk before committing to any changes in its tree. Comments are preferred but feel free to simply vote on the poll, thank you.

 

Because of the reduced ehp being able to avoid damage is so much better than being able to absorb damage. bonk hybridizes really well with both half paladin for mantles or half/full fallen. Fallen without bonk takes too much damage too fast but with the mobility and extended hitboxes provided from monk it can control its corrupted uptake easier and longer. Paladin without some monk to access ragnarokkr and comet literally has no sustained dps (plus mantles at high level just aren’t as good as the damage avoiding potential bonk provides)

 

my favourite part is using discombobulate with collapse, but it's an otherwise meh ability. The upper flying combat style is pretty fun.

With all the warscream upgrades I'm half tempted to make a warscream dps build

 

From my personal experience, Battle Monk essentially fixes or at least bandages the biggest of pre-2.0 warrior's biggest problems, which was its clunkiness and lack of spell synergy. Even while only having one at level 90, it's a lot of fun to combo between the the upgraded uppercut and charge (even though flying kick isn't great), while using bash and warscream for buffs or damage over time. Battle Monk also has the blessing of being in between the Fallen and Paladin trees, meaning it has the options of dealing more damage with the fireworks upgrades and ragnarokkr or investing into tankiness with Mantle and Paladin's other nodes. In short, it's fluid, versatile, and a whole lotta fun.

Edit: Uppercut surfing is also my new favorite form of transportation

 

It just simply works. BMonk can be thrown into any situation and be okay from its mobility, range, and AoE.

 

Battle monk having the ability to just fly around makes it so much more fun than just standing there and using uppercut, or spamming left click. Not only do the movement buffs make you have more options to dodge enemy attacks and survive better, but it makes the archetype by far one of the most enjoyable to play out there.

 

i think its well made but it def is one of those that is perfect for making hybrids with since some of the combat upgrades are questionable
