Monks in 2.3

I've got to admit, despite the big changes (good and bad) being pushed on PTR 2.3 for monks, I'm still very much looking forward to live 2.3.

Seven-Sided Strike is, in my opinion, is the one skill that really makes the Monk stand apart from the other classes. It's visually impressive, relatively powerful, and fits the theme of the Monk. Unfortunately it just never really fit into any serious endgame builds before. It was a neat skill, but was vastly overpowered by just about any other choice.

In 2.3, we'll get the new Lion's Claw weapon ("Seven-Sided Strike performs an additional 7 strikes"), and Uliana's Strategem ("(2) Every third hit of your Spirit Generators applies Exploding Palm; (4) Your Seven-Sided Strike deals its total damage with each hit; (6) Your Seven-Sided Strike detonates your Exploding Palm").

It's a good time to play a Monk! :)
