Background Edit

Monks are a hybrid class. Masters of bare-handed combat, monks choose to draw their weapons only for devastating finishing moves. Monk healers bring harmony and balance to every group, healing even the most grievous of injuries with ancient remedies and focused spiritual arts. And few can hope to out-last the unquenchable prowess of the Monk Brewmaster, whose empowering beverages and unpredictable combat style allow them to absorb incredible amounts of punishment.

Pandaren masters have chosen to share their ancient martial arts with young fighters in both the Alliance and Horde. Harnessing their inner strength and potent "chi" energy, Monks are extremely capable in every role: damage, defense, and healing.^[2]

Races Edit

Armor Edit

Like druids and rogues, monks can only use cloth or leather armor and can't use shields, but can use off-hand items. Stats will be primarily based on Agility (DPS and tanking) and Intellect (healing).^[3]

Weapons Edit

Monks are expected to rely heavily upon hand-to-hand combat, but will use weapons for their finishing moves.^[3]

• Hands and feet (unarmed?)
• One-handed axes, maces, and swords
• Fist weapons
• Staves
• Polearms^[1]

No melee classes will use ranged weapons in the Mists of Pandaria expansion.^[4] ...

Abilities Edit

Some base abilities:^[3]

• Currently, the monk does not have an Auto-attack.^[4]
• Jab - primary chi builder that generates light force and dark force elements of Chi.
• Roll attack - Roll a short distance (presumably like a Mage's Blink spell). Unlike similar abilities it can be used backwards and sideways as well.^[4]
• Statue of the Jade Serpent - Summons a statue that heals nearby friendly units when the Monk deals damage. Up to 3 can be active at the same time.
• Spinning Crane Kick - AOE that damages every enemy within 8 yards every second for 6 seconds. (5 sec cast)

Talents Edit

Monk talents are split into 3 categories:^[3]

• Brewmaster - Tank, reminiscent of the "drunken master" of martial arts films.^[4]
• Mistweaver - Healer, wise man with fighting skills.^[4]
• Windwalker - Melee DPS, martial arts master doing damage primarily with fists and feet.^[4]

Choose spec at level 10 as in Cataclysm, will have multiple spec abilities as you gain levels with more to choose.^[3]

Suggested professions Edit

•  Leatherworking, due to their available armor types.
