(And in fact add a GCD of slush) The minor stutter has never really felt bad or prevented me from using something that interrupts the rotation a bit since i can always get back into it. Next PTR build, we're going to try a 12sec base CD on Blackout Strike, to speed things up a bit baseline, and hopefully remove the ~1GCD of pause that has been mentioned by several people. That's the most valuable, especially when you consider swapping to the other side of the Blackout Combo / No Blackout Combo line that divides the community playstyles. The common Blackout Combo-driven rotation right now is, in a way, not GCD locked, because it spends a significant amount of its time off GCD, but in practice it feels more like GCD locked, because that time is in between every few GCDs with little empty half-GCDs, adding a stutter to your rotation that we're trying to clean up.Īwesome feedback so far, especially from those who are actively trying a variety of talent builds. We're trying to open that up a bit so that you have room to take abilities like Chi Wave and Spitfire (or theoretically Chi Burst), or Rushing Jade Wind, in your rotation. Right Eye of the Tiger is currently taken primarily because it doesn't take up any GCDs. ![]() The reason I would think most people use eott is that it is the highest dps AND it doesn't intrude on the already tight rotation for BoC, so there is no opportunity cost in using it. There's still an argument to be made for Chi Wave being replaced, so we're considering that as well, so discussion one way or another (or alternatives) is quite welcome. ![]() We chose Chi Burst to replace to start with, because Spitfire is an AoE talent, same as Chi Burst, so would fulfill the same choice. Why was Chi Burst scrapped for it instead of Chi Wave? Nobody uses Chi Wave because of how weak (and random) it is, but Chi Burst currently sees a decent amount of use on live servers for AoE.Ĭhi Wave and Chi Burst usage are about the same (and both are extremely rare compared to Eye of the Tiger). Thanks! I'll be getting on PTR to test the rotation and such later, but I have one question about Spitfire Celestalon. Please let us know which talents you're using when giving rotation feel feedback! For example, Rushing Jade Wind + Spitfire feel totally different from Eye of the Tiger + Special Delivery, especially when it comes to GCD utilization. One extremely important thing to evaluating the feel of this is what talents you were using. We started out with the 4-beat cycle for PTR we may also try the 3-beat cycle soon and see how that feels. We're worried about gameplay and feel right now, and will adjust damage (overall and per-talent) as needed afterward.Īs you can imagine, the numbers for Blackout Strike's cooldown and the CDR from Tiger Palm are very important to get right on this we'll tweak them and try a few things. Considering on single target, with BoC, BoS and TP are my number 1 and 2 damaging abilities, are we going to see compensation in damage for this nerf? Monk ( Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator) Of Brews And Blackouts (7.2.5) This devalues the BoC talent as we see 33-25=8% fewer BoC's in our rotation. The Stormwind and Orgrimmar auction houses have received slight updates to their decor in Patch 7.2.5.
