What?? Dont get what youre trying to say.
The way i experiences it is the following:
The hot ticks independently every ~0.8sec.
But SM heals once instantly, thus you get another 1 tick per second when spamming SM (bound by GCD)
So you get about 2.25 ticks per second instead of 1.25, but also costs you proportionally More mana.
Defenetly something you should know for high dmg phases :-)
The coats per chi is about 3% when using SM, which is much cheaper than Surging for Chi.
So spamming SM is a more efficient way of getting chi faster rather than only channeling itt.
That should be mentioned in the guide :-)
