It hurt itself in its confusion!

Comment by iamleejn

Currently applies to the "cleaved" targets.

Comment by entropos

Where will the monk get all these kegs to smash? Does each monk have a little cart full of kegs following him around? Or does he conjure a magic keg just so he can smash it?

Stupid. One of the most lame things I've seen on WoW and I've seen a few.

Comment by Manachi

This move is ridiculous. It looks stupid, and it is stupid. It's unfortunate that we have this new martial arts monk, with so much potential, could have looked the coolest of them all. And yet it's main tanking move is just cartoon like and silly. Why is he throwing barrels of alcohol at people? I can't think of any other tanking move of any class that is so 'uncool'.

Comment by Toroq

So, a quirk I discovered with this ability, is that while you normally can only cast it while targetting an attackable mob, if you target anything except yourself, (even dead mobs) you can self-cast the ability and it still goes off.

I highly doubt this will be useful to anyone, ever, but I just thought I'd share it.

Welp, this no longer works in 5.1. You also cannot keg smash thin air even with an enemy targeted, as it now requires you to be in range.

The animation also changed, you now simply throw a keg at your target, as with Dizzying Haze, instead of doing a sweeping motion with the keg exploding in everyones face.

Comment by Clankio

In patch 5.1, Key Smash affects all targets in front of you, instead of just up to 3 targets.
Thanks, Blizzard! :3

A note on this , though the amount of targets it applies to is very limited - so far only know of the Shao-Tien Behomoth related to the Lotus daily 'Crumbling Behemoth' - if the target is immune to both dizzying haze and weakening blow , keg smash will do zero damage and will not generate chi. Whether this is bug or intended , am trying to get confirmation on.

Comment by TheAllianceGuy

Such a satisfying ability!

I find myself going 'SWOOSH' every time I use it, because apparently I'm a huge doofus :P

Your go to spell for snap aggro and chi building.

Apparently, smashing a keg on the ground is the best way to make everyone want to attack you.
