5 Monks - levelling

[Lyonheart]

I just hit 46-49 tonight and got SCK! its OP.. i mean you go from having to pull packs all safe like, to just mowing them down in seconds and staying healed the whole time..the healers SCK is the best emergancy heal as well at this level. I'm using your macros Dan, and they are working great so far. I took expel harm out of them, seems to waste energy. Dont really need it now. I have it as an emergancy self heal now on seperate key. I also have chi wave on every toon..does nice damage and helps keep everyone topped off 8)

I finished vanilla by doing LBRS. Was very painful. Dinged 58 and headed for Outlands. Swapped out about 3/4 of my non-BoA vanilla gear via questing and decided to hit Ramps and BF at 61/62. Indeed as Lyonheart notes Spinning Crane Kick is amazing. Here is my new rotation on Brew, Mist, and Wind:

/cast [nochanneling] Spinning Crane Kick

When I started getting the Outland gear SCK felt good. But the real fun was going start to finish on all trash and bosses in Ramps, BF, UB, SP just AoEing everything. EVERYTHING! I'll still open with Dizzying Haze and Keg Smash but then it's all SCK on all 5 toons. Tank seems to hold agro fine, heals are good even on bosses, and the DPS might be a tad slower than single target but the fun factor is just over-the-top. The SCK glyph lets you walk at normal speed while channelling SCK. With DH you can do a lot of range pulls and just AoE away which is very nice for questing.

I tried to A/B "normal" DPS and healing with SCK and it's far easier to just SCK than to do melee healing. Both work but SCK is just a hoot. I'm still iffy on melee healing due to GCD issues and cutting the healer out of the DPS key rotation. Amazingly healer is doing DPS on par with Wind. Tank DPS is about 15% lighter than other.

Vanilla LBRS made my monks cry. Outland is...kicking!!! lol
