Jakiel00 posted : Have 85 of all classes except for Rogue and Mage, but decided to level up a Monk from Level 1. Really are a blast to play so far, but at work all the time so looking to see if there is any early raid data yet. Most likely play a mystweaver, so if anyone knows how they are stacking up against other healers I would love to read about it. My main is a Holy Priest and healed on every other type of Healer out there, so wanted to make sure I had Monk on my list. Hoping it works out and the monk becomes my new main.

Arsinic posted : After a few days out of town I found enough time to knock out 90 on the monk and run several heroics and scenarios.

Havent messed with the healing aspect much aside from 2 scenarios that really didnt need healing, but the windwalker I'm becoming rather profficient at. My only complaint atm is the lack of energy regen while in meh gear(ilvl448ish) I'm far from hit and exp caps aatm but I have been pulling pretty decent damage through heroics with guildies that were near full heroic geared. Not sure if they are missing something with new class play, or that Monks are jsut really strong atm?

Monk aoe once ramped up(3stack tiger palm/ blackout kick up) is awesome. The nice thing is you can keep the tigers palm up between most trash and boses pretty easily.

Class feels refreshing for now I'm sure the newness will wear off soon enough, but I am enjoying it over old rogue(sub) play style. My only gripe is not cancelling flying serpent kick and flying off a few cliffs along the way. I could glyph to prevent that but meh :p

This is a good guide for the basics.

I've got my Brewmaster up to 76 last night, and I have to say it's absolutely ridiculous how OP Monks are in a tanking role. Their self heals and avoidance allow you to make ridiculous pulls in heirlooms. It will be interesting to see them in an end game environment.

As for leveling, I usually pull 7-10 mobs at a time at my level. That's not a mistype. If the quest calls for 8 of X creature to be killed, and they are close, I pull 8 at a time and finish the fight at full health in one shot.

I haven't pvp'd at all with a Brewmaster, but I can imagine in flag carrying scenarios they'd be a PITA to kill, but again I'm waiting until max level to see the results.

Very fun class.

I agree. I am loving the class. Made it to 67 last night. Should have hit 68 just so I can go straight to Nortrend tonight, but oh well. I have tanked every dungeon up to Seth Halls and do about the same as you. I had a DK try to tank in my dungeon last night (moron, not sure why). However, even with him in Blood Presence, he couldn't get aggro. You have to love that.

Discovered a bug with the channeled healing stream. You can get double ticks per channel if you spam the healing stream. Even though it is channeled, it triggers a GCD. If you can spam the heal every time the GCD is up, you get double heals every tick.

Been using it to make myself invulnerable in PVP. At the lower levels, CC is hard to come by, so it's just spamming channeled heals all day long, staying at 100% mana and laughing as 3 players can't burst you down all day.

I've also found that mistweave DPS is pretty good as well in dungeons. I'm sure it'll suck later on. Stack int/spirit gear. It converts Spirit into hit/expertise and int into spellpower which converts into attack power. Jab x4, Blackout Kick x2, repeat. No energy to manage. Never go oom. Heals the party like mad. I've been topping DPS and healing meters simultaneously in most of my runs. Because of this, leveling as mistweave spec is better for me than leveling as a DPS or tank spec. Same or better damage with a massive amount of self/party heal through your damage.

Arch is correct on the double ticks. i have done this and going with the int, spirit gear and staying in heals mode. i can heal any instance so far and be2nd or 3rd in dps really easy with doing the only heals.

today i rran instances and with the BoA gear and the guild +xp and the 1+ hour monk +xp i got 3 levels in one instance run and was about 1k shourt of a 4th level. \less than 2 hours i went from lvl 17 to lvl 30 just running instances. i got almost 75 minutes on the monk +xp. and that was queing in nd out of instances.

Having alchemy and healing pots, plus the herbalist heal/haste helped, and the only time I died was from a lock chain fearing me with DoT's from him and a Spriest with a hunter pelting me at once.

I am DW with the BoA maces with 15 agil on OH and fiery on MH, at low lvls fiery is OP as it procs almost every hit it seems.

Even non-Pandaren monks level pretty fast - after level 20, you get a daily (and a regular quest every 10 levels) that gives you a +50% XP from monsters/quests buff. It persists through death, and doesn't always drop off right away when the timer runs out - I've held onto one for a good 5+ minutes after it "ran out".

That buff in combination with dungeon/dungeon quests can boost xp quite a bit.

I had the buff hang out for an extra hour a couple of times and less quite a few times. It stopped happening the last couple of days of leveling I thought maybe they had hotfixed it. When it did happen though I noticed going into a dungeon removed the glitched buff so if you're lucky enough to get it - just keep questing don't take any portals or anything.

Not sure how many hours I have played thus far. I would say around 18 or so and I am 63. Started from level one as a Pandaren Monk. I must say, I am loving it.

I'm at just over a day and I'm at 50 but I've been keeping all my profs (skin/leather, cooking/fishing/First aid) at level too. One thing that has definitely helped is the +50% XP buff hangs every day for an extra hour. Just sits at 0 and flashes.

quatra posted : Not sure when you last leveled a character but leveling in generally is MUCH faster than it was years ago. Monks also get that daily quest for 50% xps bonus (including quest exp) and double rested exp.

However - 4 or 5 levels in "just a matter of minutes" with no other bonuses? That doesn't sound right? I used recruit-a-friend gift levels to skip to 80 so I didn't experience leveling my monk at 30 but even with the 3x recruit-a-friend exp bonus at level 30 I don't think I ever got more than 2 levels in an instance and at no level did I get 5 levels in 'minutes'.
