biggest issues I see regarding wukong...


 * 1) 1 skill Iron Jab is extremly limited. The attack is a pinpoint strike that must be acuratly aimed, versus most other frames where 'close enough' will still hit, because their attacks have a width. That pinpoint effect added to the short range makes Iron jab powerful if you are at point blank range, but useless past that distance as you are likely to either miss, or not reach a target.


 * 1) 2 skill Defy is a pre-emptive expectation to die. Most other frames, if you are expecting to be killed, you are playing them poorly, recklessly, or should be spending that cat time to instead MOVE. While Defy instead takes a moment to activate, has a moderate power drain, and then only gives you a very short period of invulnerability after you have already failed and been technicly killed. We can compare this to other skills such as Iron skin on rhino, which is also a #2 skill that is defensive, and gives the rhino player near-instant results with no additional energy cost, a period of damage absorption (aka invulnerability) that then increases a defensive damage mitigation shield that lasts until used.


 * 1) 3 skill Cloud Walk. This is basicly a bad version of Limbo's Rift Walk. It costs more energy, lasts a shorter time, and Limbo actually GAINS energy while in Rift Walk, as opposed to losing it. Limbo is also still able to have a limited interaction with the material world while rift walking, such as reviving allies, or using other abilities. If instead comparing it for stealth play, it is a VERY poor copy of Loki's invisibility, which lasts longer and allows full interaction with the world, including brutal stealth attacks.


 * 1) 4 skill Primal Fury is like a lobotomized version of Exalted Blade or Hysteria, where they get pushed to melee only, with boosted damage, however Excaliber and Valkyr get other added perks, like flying sword slashes (excaliber) or massive damage mitigation (Valkyr).

So in short, Wukong is just lesser versions of other frame skills, and doesn't seem to really excel at any of them.
