Question Time - Why is WW so underpresented in high M+? (Part 2)


So after talking about Windwalker's representation in M+, lets look at why that happens.

This is my opinion on the matter, it might be that you don't agree, if that is you leave a comment and let's discuss it.

Community perception is that you're two melee must be Outlaw Rogue and Havoc DH, and then you'll want either an Ele Shaman, Frost Mage, or Boomkin. Those would be your best dps classes to bring to a group that was pushing high keys, however the vast majority of the player base doesn't push keys high enough to the point where their comp matters so much as their skill does. So it's really just the community looking at the top ranks and then claiming that anything other than what places in the top 20 or so isn't viable.

For a time trial environment, 2x Outlaw Rogue and either a WW Monk or Unholy DK is gonna shine more so than any of the other melee specs. So WW definitely has it's place, and probably will in the MDI finals.

Then ask yourself this. If people are gunning through an 18 Atal in 15 minutes, do you think you could hit 29:59 with a WW monk? I think so. But the vast majority of the player base isn't good enough to make anything other than the cookie cutter classes work.
