    WW PVP..lemme ask you somethin

    So as far as lvl 90 talents are concerned what are you guys finding better out of xuen and jade wind? I'm having a hard time deciding because there's no doubt xuen does more dmg but it has a cd and it can be popped at a wrong time. Jade wind iv also seen great dps with and its more constant so im not sure. And also why do most guides say to pick healing elixers over damp harm for melee comps? I've tried elixirs and I cant even tell that its doing anything.

    Saying that Xuen does more damage than RJW is misleading, because you're applying no timescale to the claim. Both are appropriate for different purposes and needs. RJW actually provides more immediate damage between the two if used correctly in sequence with other abilities. (10 Stacks of TEB with Tiger Strikes and RSK debuff up + a sequence of RJW -> Chi Wave -> RSK -> FoF, or any variation thus, is likely the most potent burst we have)

    WW is a spec with a lot of options in terms of playstyle and personal choice. Often there is no right or wrong talent choice, but rather a right or wrong choice for your particular playstyle. Experiment.

    Healing Elixirs is better than Dampen Harm against melee comps because it provides automatic self-healing with your typical brew usage patterns, making you an even less viable kill target. You've little use for Dampen Harm against such comps because...as "melee comps" would tend to imply, they don't tend to have enough magical damage going out to justify the talents usage. Elixirs honestly isn't even a bad talent against caster teams, it's just that diffuse magic has an offensive use against such comps when used correctly as well.

    WW is a spec you should expect to swap talents and glyphs around with a lot. It's very flexible. Use that to your advantage.

    Dampen Harm works against physical damage and it doesn't have the offensive use. You're referring to Diffuse Magic which is magic only and reflects back magic spells on to their originators.
