New Monk talent for patch 5.2 available to select once level 60 has been reached

The wording on this skill is very interesting; "Forms a sanctuary around the target" This is going to be amazing if it can be cast on both enemies and friends. Will able to be used offensively and will also make an absolutely amazing pressure peel from a friend if they are been trained.

Look forward to seeing how this will go live :)

Tested this spell on the PTR and I can say the following:
+ Cannot be dispelled (although Ice Block and Divine Shield may remove it).
+ The duration is not reduced in pvp.
+ The ring stays on the target as opposed to being a fixed ring on the floor; this means that it can be used offensively to prevent healers from casting for 8 seconds or defensively if your team is getting trained.
+ The warrior set bonus (-50% disarm duration) doesn't affect this.
+ Currently the longest pvp silence at 8 seconds.
+ The short cooldown and 40yd range gives this talent a lot of flexibility and unlike the other two talents on this tier, this ability doesn't require positioning of your character for it to be effective.
Edit: + This will also be very powerful for Challenge mode runs as it doesn't share diminishing returns with anything.

As this is only the first release of the PTR, it's likely that this ability will receive a few nerfs before going live as it's currently looking very strong.

If a priest uses this on you, you just

LOST THE GAME.

Peace out y'all.

oh and, it's broken.

Comment by Grim32

Which talent is this 'replacing'?

Edit: To answer my own question it's replacing Deadly Reach.

Comment by Lordplatypus

Would be better if the allies were also disarmed and silenced, making it actually balanced rather than blatantly overpowered

Comment by bromalferdon

They should just throw in an AoE Second Wind into this. I mean, why not? If you're gonna make something OP go balls deep.

Comment by Kluian

This has recently been changed on the PTR. It now may only be casted on friendly targets, and it is not longer a "solarbeam" esque silence. It will silence players who cast harmful spells in the circle for 3 seconds. So it will be harder to use defensively against casters, and almost have no effect on healers unless they are playing offensive. Most likely it will now just be used as a defensive CD, especially against melee cleaves.

Comment by excip

I realize that you can't balance the game around challenge mode, but this talent will push monk tanks even further ahead in challenge mode. It is insanely good on those large trash pack pulls (i.e. Scarlet Monastery)

Comment by Carajan

must say this is the most annoying thing thats active in pvp atm... damn monks...

Comment by Denden10

At the moment i am loving this talent just today i completely locked out a destruction warlock and almost destroyed his heath within the 8 seconds he was within the dome
i managed to get up to him before fear was cast interrupted/silenced with spear hand strike rooted him with disable then used Ring of peace he wasn't able to do anything although i am not too sure if a spell has to be cast for the silence to take affect or if it silences during a cast but as i said he really wasn't able to do much when he was within the attack.

Comment by Runeweaver

Note: Do not cast before Maddening Shout on Spirit Kings.
I certainly did not do it to see what would happen...

Comment by vhaynne

This ability can only be placed around a friendly target and adds some strong viability for WW monks in pvp. If you use this on yourself in conjunction with Disable, you can maximize those 8 seconds.

Comment by blackshado9

I soo hate this %^&*y overpowered spell. Remove it pls cause it's too strong.

Comment by Wathley

Incase anyone was wondering sbout the silence, it occurs after the cast is complete. So you get one cast in the ring, but then you silenced for 3 seconds.

Comment by Lordplatypus

This thing completely breaks the game.

Walk into a AV or Isle bossfight.
Use it.
Win.

Comment by kinigit

I am not sure this was a well thought out ability.

At the very least 8 seconds is way too long.

And a 45 second cooldown is way too short.

Comment by Townsfolk

i hate this spell..

Comment by Wakko89

The silence effect is called Silenced and it's spell ID is 137460.

The disarm effect is called Disarmed and it's spell ID is 137461.

Spell IDs tested and confirmed with NeedToKnow.

EDIT: Seems these spell effects has been added to the Spell Details. If I remember correctly, they were not at the time of this posting.

Comment by Rinsletify

This spell used to apply an 8 sec disarm on every melee as long as they stayed inside the ring. It also applied a debuff that made them whine about the monk class in general despite the fact that monks are one of the least represented classes in the top brackets. Blizzard made the ring overpowered intentionally to compensate for how weak monks felt.

After 5.3, however, the spell has been made slightly stronger against casters and absolutely useless against melees (despite what people may think).

Against melees the ring only disarms them for 3 seconds. After this, they're allowed to do 1 hit before they're disarmed again. This may sound balanced, but it really isn't. The reason is diminishing returns. Because of diminishing returns, the 2nd disarm only lasts 1.5 seconds, which is the same as a global cooldown (and the melee would have to wait for this gcd anyway). All in all, the spell basically equates a 3 sec disarm against melees, AND it ruins our primary disarm, because of the diminishing returns.

All in all, the only advantages of RoP compared to Leg Sweep are following:
It doesn't share DR with stuns (which is rather nice for windwalkers against casters, since they can follow a fist of fury up with the 3 sec initial silence).
It can be used on other players.
Even if you can't find a good place to use Leg Sweep, you can just move from person to person with the ring.
Finally, people still remember the 5.2 RoP which means that a lot of people automatically avoid any target with the ring up. This is only a temporary advantage.

The spell still has its uses, but for a spell that was intended to be overpowered, it has lost its status as a mandatory spell. I'm running with Leg Sweep from now on.

Comment by Denden10

In pvp try casting this on your own Xuen its frigging epic he sticks on their asses so they have a hard time getting out of the ring, also not just Xuen you can stick it on hunter pets and warlock demons in your teams, probably also paladin guardian but i havent had a chance to try that out yet :)

Comment by Chuupag

My raid group calls this the "you can't do $%^& in my bubble" ability. Extremely useful for some gimmicky raid mechanics.

A macro to save any monk alot of effort when swapping between talents all the time.
