beard 2 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 I generally just cast, very rarely fistweave...mostly because Im not familiar with it, so I stick in my comfort zone. I want to learn the ways of the fist...and would like to know, which fights in BRF support the fistweave style over others. Some fights it would seem pointless, while others I could see some benefit. I have read guides where a lot of monks will start the encounter in crane to build some MT stacks...but are there fights where we can almost fistweave exclusively? Any input appreciated.

Spinandwin 1 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 On heroic I fistweave (almost) exclusively on Flamebinder & Operator Thogar. Sometimes I'll go back to serpent for the Man at Arms Aoe on thogar. Iron Maidens I think most monks tend to fistweave until the last 20% Mythic I've fistweaved pull on Oreg (until hero was over) And on Darmac I fistweave maybe 50% of the fight. Those are the only mythic bosses we've done so far unfortunately. I've put up a post here about a weakaura I made that helps you fistweave, if you're interested. https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/11501-struggling-to-fistweave-weakaura/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FUslate 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2015 I would say that it does not depend on the boss as much it would depend on the situation the raid group is currently in. For example a situation where the fight is going rather slow and the healing is going well if you have 2 or 3 healers go fistweave and make sure your statue is in a viable place and you are with the melee group. In my guild raid fistweaving is not manditory it is my choice to make whether I feel like it is necessary that is the choice that you have to make What I would normally do is make 4 checks: Hazards: What is by the boss and how much damage would it do Healing: how much healing are you doing and how much healing other people are healing Raid Damage: How much raid damage is being taken and is is single target or raidwide DPS: How much DPS are the other raiders doing and do they need any extra DPS These are the checks that I make before deciding to fistweave or stay mistweaving I hope you find this helpful and good luck with raiding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
