#WARCRAFT TIMELESS STONE PATCH#

Until the end of the principal quest line on the Wandering Isle, the pandaren player character is faction-less at the end of their starting experience, the player chooses to align with either the Horde or the Alliance. Unlike previous races in World of Warcraft, which are tied to either the Horde or Alliance in-game factions, pandaren are faction-neutral for the early levels of the game. The pandaren-a race of anthropomorphic giant pandas initially created by veteran Blizzard artist Samwise Didier as an April Fools style joke-were later reintroduced to the Warcraft canon in the bonus Horde campaign of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. This converted Mistweaver monks into a standard healing class that directly heals allies through the use of a mana resource bar. In the Legion expansion, Mistweaver monks lost the Chi resource and the Fistweaving talent that allowed them to heal by dealing damage. An 11th character slot was added on the release of Monks, allowing a player to have one of each class on the same server.

Monks make use of leather armor, and every race may play as a monk.

Choosing the healing specialization gives the monk a mana bar like other healers while the tank and damage spec uses an energy bar. Monks' healing specialization is capable of healing allies through dealing damage to enemies, as well as through 'proximity' based heals, and by dropping statues, similar to a shaman totem, that pulse healing as they perform attacks on the enemy target. The monk class has three specializations: Brewmaster ( tanking), Windwalker ( melee damage), and Mistweaver ( healing). The monk class was originally announced with not being able to utilize an auto-attack like the other classes, however, the developers chose to forgo this idea and they have been given an auto-attack. The basic Jab attack is used to generate a resource called 'Chi', which are then used for more advanced attacks. Monks use an energy source to power basic abilities like Jab.
