KO'ragh Chi explosion to help with shield?

[NjxCrash]

So in one of my raid groups we run short on magic dmg that fight but we have 3 ww monks chi explosion is nature so it would go to the shield correct?

[Rixxis]

Correct, ChiEx is nature damage and absorbed by his shield. I always run ChiEx on him because blowing the shield as quickly as possible makes the boss much easier, and I also dislike the way Chi Brew/Serenity plays when your CDs are down so I find it more entertaining to boot.

Also due to the heavy movement you may find CX to be equal single target damage to serenity but with the added advantage of dropping the shield faster.

yea not to mention he takes extra magic damage when his shield is down.

I'm pretty sure this is misinformation and not actually present in live.

That said, I do run ChiEx for this fight. With all the movement, I haven't found Serenity's extra stagger time to be helpful. Soul Dance might be a good choice if you're finding it difficult to tank the adds, though. They do Arcane damage.

That was one of the fights mechanics during the beta testing.
It didn't make it live.
