Class Most Like Monk?

[Vorlinathh]

So in retail I played a WindWalker monk and I loved it. What class in 3.3.5 do you guys think is most like that class?

[Peregrine]

Shaman or rogue is my best guess.

[Stoney]

This class sucked. Why anyone would want to play it?

[Vorlinathh]

Because I enjoyed it.

I hope you just mean the mechanics and not the performance because ww has always been like the weakest among all melee specs in pvp.

There is no class even close to ww in gameplay, you just have to pick something new, unless by close you mean simply a melee spec...Wait for your overlords the DK to be released and jump in the freelo train

Probably Rogue. In WOTLK there's not really any 'systems' like chi/holy power/etc other than on Rogues. So I'd say, for WOTLK, Rogues. They've had the whole "don't use X ability until you've built up Y amount of 'charges'" mechanic since vanilla, which has slowly (and now more overtly) been implemented into other classes. Now almost every class has that kind of integrated ability-buildup point system going on (post-Cata).

So I'd say Rogue.

honestly noone think about druid?
miltirole flexible, resources depending on role and still very uniqe technics...

imo monks and druids are very similar...

But druids doesn't have any CC beside clone and roots, while Shaman can interrupt spells[like monks do] avoid spells and hex, also AoE heal + 30% speed buff.
Next is Rogue as he can interrupt,disarm [just like monks] blind and whatnot.

But OP better roll on Blackrock [Instant 80] and test the classes so he find the one that most suits him.

you seriously have no idea what you're talking about. ww monks the weakest??? dunno what to tell you, it's prolly cause you played one and sucked or something. just type "monk 1v3 arena" on youtube and you'll see brofist, even venruki playing them on 5.4 and literally having no counters whatsoever. the fights weren't even close. no other class, beside mage probably, was capable of doing this. that was probably the most overpowered class blizzard ever made in wow (on mop at least, i didn't play wod)....

I'm not going to give you 200 examples but WW is considered the weakest melee class, only assassination rogues are worse and even then it's your own fault since combat rogues and especially subt are considered god tier

This discussion is about the present... When you tell me you enjoy monks in retail I'm going to talk to you about 6.2 monks, which are the bottom of the junkyard right now. BTW all of the monks specs are considered "troll" specs in serious pvp.

Why you even talking if you haven't played wod? Way to speak out of your butt... You admit you haven't played the expansion and yet you grace us with your imaginary opinion
