How you doing in your raids Surreal? Past dark animus yet :P?
And we're getting to phase 3 on lei shen now.
We working on DA but I'm out of town all week in San Diego for work which is making me die inside that Comic Con is going on at the same time =/
Really seems more like waiting on the rest of the raid to not mess up the tanking part is fairly straight forward with 3 tanks (DK + pally's clearing debuffs). So hopefully next week when I'm back we blast through it.

The four elements, like man alone, are weak. But together they form the strong fifth element: Boron.
typical rotation would be more of a priority rotation than an actual dps rotation. mostly make sure you always have shuffle up, and keg smash when on rotation. the rest is purely circumstantial. i'll use guard when i know im going to get hit pretty hard, and fort brew and either dampen harm/magic depending on the fight. things like oondasta, i'll use guard the first 3 frill blasts, dampen magic the 4th, fort brew/guard the 5th, and if it gets to a sixth, zen meditation.
Big nerf to Rushing Jade Wind there. Removing the increased SCK bonus and Shuffle and just straight replacing SCK when talented.
Anyone else getting a wierd bug where using Glyph of Jab shifts you out of Sturdy Ox when you zone?
Also, has anyone tested to see if the Legendary Dps Cloak proc scales with vengeance, seeing as it's AP now.

I think it's a click-and-forget aoe aura, rather than what it was. It replaces spin-kick, and I don't see where it states 'must channel'. I wonder if Storm earth and fire clones will be able to use it, like they are able to use the current version? Well, they better, or they won't have any aoe with this.
Would that make it a 'keep it up as much as possible' spell, even single target?
It will do. Would be very surprised if it didn't, that'd be some weird coding.
Fun how this change was made right after I buy the tank cloak on live! Ah well. The tank cloak is still very nice, so hopefully we'll be able to swap and change depending on the encounter.

I don't think so, because it'd be 40 energy spent every 4.5 seconds which isn't generating Chi. That'd probably overall be a DPS loss.
Will be interesting in AoE though, especially if it doesn't require channeling as you say.
I dont think so. It is more than a jap replacement in heavy aoe fight where Xuen isn't so good.
Heavy AoE Figghts: Keep RJW up > use Jap if RJW is up > Use all other spells
Single Target Focus: use Xuen
but now this tier of talents seems wired.
We now have a good single target talent, and 2 Aoe Talents. Yes Chi Torbpedo heals raid members. i would feel bether for xuen and replace him with a hybrid version of Chi Torpedo and RJW...
I did the same with dps one, which I bought just before procs got datamined. I believe I will get second one anyway for specific encounters.
Also got a question:
Got three trinkets: Renataki's Soul Charm hc upgraded (543 ilvl), Bad Juju hc upgraded (543 ilvl), and Rune of Re-origination normal upgraded (530 ilvl). Since I don't have survival problems wouldn't changing Rune to Juju nerf my dps?
Edit: also got a question regarding primordius hc 10 man - on our only pull we got him to 47% and the wipe occured because the add spawned near kited boss. Is there a way to prevent it? Like a spawn pattern? Or is it random?

The new Rushing Jade Wind looks interesting, and yeah as people are saying it's probably going to be great for 3+ target AoE fights. And the talent will continue to be good for CMs.
my guild is up to normal lei shen and i was wondering if anyone had any quick tips for it. in a 10 man guild.

just looking over some simple math for a 6 minute fight we would be losing roughly 80 chi generation on single target to maintain RJW. Would have to be a significant damage boost to lose that much chi over.
Also for other options, with Xuen getting a pet bar and us getting vengeance for the damage he takes, there would be room to abuse the 95% pet AoE damage reduction at times to have him stand in the fire for us. I am not 100% on this but if it works I have a feeling it would be nerfed quickly.
