How Do You Play Optimally With Serenity?

[Raern]

Just as the title suggest, I want to know exactly how you would play with Serenity optimally. How does the opener differ from using SEF and WDP compared to Serenity? I'm using EE over PS if that matters at all.

Get enough haste to do rsk fof rsk sotw bok rsk, otherwise rsk sotw fof rsk bok sck. The rotation on that site is a pipedream I haven't seen anybody fit that many globals.

So math is a pipe dream and haste stacking is secretly op?

Touch of Death
Serenity
Strike of the Windlord
Rising Sun Kick
Fists of Fury
Rising Sun Kick
Spinning Crane Kick

That's the best starter possible for WW Serenity Monk.

This doesn't seem right.

Does FoF not snapshot the Serenity damage buff?

I do:
RSK
SOTW
BOK
SCK
BOK
RSK
FOF

But I usually pop FoF at the very end of Serenity, under the assumption that the damage boost is applied to the full channel.

That assumption is incorrect.

[ErothTV]

While having 10% of haste and BL, my opening with ToD and Serenity looks like:

ToD > Serenity > RSK > BOK > SoTW > RSK > FoF > RSK

But make sure FoF will end it channeling before casting RSK. I've noticed myself that I sometimes fuckd up the last tick of FoF, because I wanted so badly to put RSK in.

@Babylonius @Carthh
Though, not sure if that's a perfect one?
I believe I shall prioritize Serenity instead of Gale Burst?

[Divinar]

That assumption is incorrect.

Well, shit. Learn something new every day.

Tonight I get to find out how much damage that cost me. I was consistently hitting FoF at the absolute end of Serenity, so I'd only get one tick of bonus it seems.
@ErothTV I'm sure there are macros that will help prevent clipping your FoF, but I don't know of they are optimal.

Wouldn't it be better to include ToD in the Serenity window for the cd reduction in it?

[venomancer]

Serenity only reduces the CD for Chi spenders, and Touch of Death hasn't got a Chi cost.

On opener i believe you FoF after the initial rsk and sotw. On every Serenity from then on out I snapshot the FoF.

Ideally you wanna pop Serenity with FoF at 16s so it's free at the end of the cast, making the most of Serenity's cooldown reduction. I also do the same with sotw but don't know if it's as effective

I have been seeing the best resaults from using FoF at the end of Serenity (making sure it comes off cd just at that point) apart from when I have ToD. With ToD I do the full channel inside gale burst window.

Or just play with chi orbs for dem bitg ballz dmg

Touch of Death isn't a Chi Spender, no cd reduction for it. Also, Touch of Death's damage is unchanged by Serenity's buff.

Do we still follow the same stat priority when using Serenity? Agi (obviosly) Mastery > Versa=Crit?

Yes.

Anyone have any tips on how to use serenity when AoE'ing down packs of mobs in M+? And does it matter whether or not the boss is coming up after that pull?
