Barb fury gen vs Monk spirit gen concern

#1 - Jan. 19, 2012, 5:35 p.m.

I noticed while playing that using standard Barbarian fury generators such as cleave on things like ashes/rotten logs/light posts do generate the correct values however when using a Monk and using abilities such as Fists of Thunder/Deadly Reach no spirit was generated for hitting those same objects. This combat mechanic applied to any generator skill I used on either Barb or Monk. Just wanted to make sure its working as intended.

The Barbarian is able to generate Fury by destroying destructible objects, while the Monk does not generate Spirit by doing this.
Reason: The Barbarian loses Fury when out of combat while the Monk does not. We allowed the Barbarian to gain Fury on destructibles to compensate for this.

You're welcome! It is kind of confusing, and I get this question asked a lot as more and more people enter the Beta, so I wanted to give you a real link with an explanation rather than "'cause a Blizzard person says so" :)
