Are monk healers bad now? Should I bother even rolling one? xD
They are bad, but not bad enough so you can't do anything on one. The class is in rollercoaster mode while Blizzard figures out what they want to do with it.
I am not gonna lie, it's not nearly as fun as it was a few weeks ago, because they made everything much more expensive to use, to the point where you will be just sitting there (or autoattacking) the majority of the time, unless you overgear the content. The HPS nerf didn't bother me so much, those are up in the air literally from patch to patch, but I want to make my class not feel like a chore to be on, and Blizzard did a pitiful job this time around. We are relying on non-Chi building moves for healing (Chi Torpedo and Healing Sphere) a lot of the time because everything else is so expensive or ineffective, and it does feel dysfunctional like that.
But, we already know the are going to be buffed, maybe even before 5.2, and I can't see rerolling if you do like the class. Regearing a second toon on a whim like that takes too long for me to want to bother, even if it's already 90, unless I was gonna do it anyway. It's still fun, even like this. Then again, I don't really care about HM content atm, school's been getting in the way the last few months. If you do, it might feel worse.
