IMHO, Pandaren and the whole Far Eastern look of Pandaria will be a refreshing change from classic races and additions like worgens and death knights. The preview videos look great! I am looking forward to the expansion.

I mean, it's already butchered. Unless they go back and redo everything stat-wise from start to finish in the game, it's pointless. It was manageable in TBC/Wrath, but Cata blew it out of the water.

You shoot up like 120k HP in Cata, does flattening the curve mean you'll just go back to 20k HP jumps?

the one thing about the monk class i'm uneasy about is it has no auto attack. everything is going to be button mashing.

Some people will probably do something more than just button mash..maybe there will be some cool combat moves that require setup moves and additionally have other follow up moves.

For all of the grief we hear about dumbing dwn the game..this should stir the pot from the other direction.

as long as it doesn't require furious button mashing to get adequate dps i'm for it. i've just got enough issues with nerves and joints around my hands and wrists that i hate anything that makes you button mash like crazy. basically the special moves should make up for the autoattack dps in damage so really your not hitting buttons any more frequently than the current global cooldown already allows. as long as it still works on the global cooldown i think it'll be okay.

I wonder if it will be the 1 sec or the 1.5 sec global cooldown. I can't imagine it being worse than the Rogue in regards to twitch play, but we shall see.

Here is a camera gameplay video from BlizzCon.

from the very short bit where i could see the action buttons it did look like the moves had the normal global cooldowns. so it won't be worse then most melee classes as far as button mashing from the look of it.
