If you missed my appearance on the Twisted Nether Blogcast, check out the podcast here. (I’m afraid to listen to myself, so I’ll let you guys tell me how I did.)

Or something to that effect. I blame Steam. I DID redo the header image a bit since Matticus kept bugging me about it. :)
In the absence of actual content, I’ll link you to some decent posts I’ve seen:
- Disargeria had a good post about the current state of the monk and what fixes it needs over on Monk and Monk.
- Sunnier had a great post with lots of pictures about proper movement for the Will of the Emperor raid fight at Sunnier’s Art of War. (Not really monk-related, but Sunnier is awesome anyway.)
- Bouncy breaks down the latest patch changes on Elusive Brawler.
As for me, I forgot to link my appearance last night on the Twisted Nether podcast here (I am fail) but when they make it available for download, I’ll toss up another post. In the meantime, I’m slowly working up full guides for all the specs, which will go live hopefully around the time that the expansion drops. If there’s anything else you’d like to see around here, just let me know. (Also, if you have a monk blog and you’re not on my blogroll, tell me! I’ll even take tumblr’s!)

Reworked all the guides. Not much to do; decided to hold off the big layout update until I write the finalized versions for live, so just minor changes. If you haven’t been paying attention for the last couple weeks:
- All the level 30 talents nerfed, and Blackout Kick got buffed substantially, which makes it worth using for Windwalkers.
- Brewmasters got reworked to shift avoidance away from active abilities to passive, and Tiger Palm became a freebie (though you still won’t use it too much). Elusive Brew got changed from a standard CD to one that’s duration scales based on crit, which is probably a good change.
- Mistweavers are getting a nerf, so I’m not doing any big analyses yet. They haven’t made any major changes, other than calming down the healing from autoattack damage.
- Windwalkers got the BOK buff, and an additional spec-specific buff (Combat Conditioning) that boosts the ability’s damage by 20% or causes it to self-heal.
I’m trying to balance my desire to test monks at 90 with the desire to not spoil the expansion (and waste time on characters soon to be deleted). We’ll see how it goes. If you see anything wrong with the guides, just leave me a comment.
