Monk

Consider this a rebuttal to my earlier Breakfast Topic, because I just decided to take the Monk, slap heirlooms on it and really cut loose.

In many sports, handicapping is a commonly used term to place a certain team or person at a slightly greater disadvantage from the other team or person.

With the release of the Heroes of the Storm's Eternal Conflict update, a new battleground has been added to the game.

Skeleton King Leoric and the Diablo 3 Monk have been announced for Heroes of the Storm and Legacy of the Void is getting free-to-play prologue missions.

Monks have had their ups and downs since their introduction in Mists of Pandaria, but just where will they fit come patch 6.2?

Tanking in a massively multiplayer game like World of Warcraft is when certain classes (Monks, Death Knights, Warriors, Paladins and Druids, in the case of WoW) choose a specialization and perform a role that is intended to keep the monsters in a dungeon or raid focused on said tank, and not instead on the healers or damage dealers in the group. You may already have known that, but it can be useful to establish basics right up front.

Last week, we talked about the various game modes you can play, but come on, what good is all that if you haven't picked a character to play yet? Which Diablo 3 class should you play -- and what makes them any different from the classes you find in WoW?

Why are Brewmaster tanks taking more mastery or crit than their fellow monks? Let's take a look at just why these stats matter for monk tanks.

For many, Mistweaver would simply be considered a class with a tank cooldown, a (rather strong) raid cooldown, and pretty decent throughput. However, this is completely ignoring the largest, most glaring strength of the Mistweaver, and chances are, it's because it throws a healer into an area that they probably are not very comfortable with -- being the melee DPS that happens to heal.

When asked the true strength of the Windwalker specialization, few monks will hesitate.
