I miss using my WD, I've barely used him since hitting 100. Was a fun trip getting there. I have all 4 other classes going right now, and my fave is the WD. No one else can clear a pack of elites quicker, in my experience. When geared correctly, of course.
This is very true. Whenever I'm doing EXP runs on MP7, WDs help me clear the packs I vortex faster than any other class. WW Barbs tend to run off and leave tons of stragglers; especially in Weeping Hollow (the ones that seem to not think vortexing has a purpose), CM wizards have to start and stop their tornado positions, and DHs usually have to jump around a lot (traps, trails, firing angles, etc.).
Prior to 1.08 I never saw anyone vortexing on their monks. Now I see it quite often and it's a dilemma because you want one centralized point of gathering, not several. And no one ever talks when they're playing - to strategize or have a plan of attack. They just run in with whatever skills they're used to or have built their gear for, regardless of who else is in party.
I need to find more people that actually want to play a multiplayer game as a team. >.<
And for the love of god, anyone that plays a monk, please stop using SW: Cyclone unless you have a WKL equipped and have 40%+ CC. You'll do more DPS and/or have better utility with other SW runes! Yes, there are other runes!
Ok...I feel better now, lol.
