Me personally I don't necissarily agree with the stat distribution for the 1 Hand set. I'll just have to play around with it.

[Deleted]

so is:

Brewing: Tigereye Brew now gains 1 charge after spending 3 Chi (was 4 Chi), increases damage by 1% per stack (was 2%)

a pretty significant nerf? is it going to reduce what was looking like avg ~30% damage increase to a ~15% or roughly ~20% with actual mastery?

[Stune]

This is the same way it has been on the PTR. TEB is baseline 1% and our mastery is baseline 1.6%. So there is no change there. The only difference in that post was that TEB buff will be wiped at the start of an encounter, so no more "pre-potting" TEB. It's a very minor nerf, but a huge quality of life improvement. Also, they changed the Rising Sun Kick debuff to 10% instead of 15%, so that is basically a 5% overall nerf. Still, all the changes should amount to a pretty significant net gain, so it's hard to complain about that.

Hmm it looks like most classes (especially melee) are getting decent buffs yet I haven't seen much for WW so far. Unless iv missed something I just hope we aren't to far behind the rest in 5.2.

Hasnt that change been in place since the start of the ptr because of the mastery change? I am fairly certain that was the case anyway.

The bad change is rsk nerfed from 15% dmg buff to 10%.

Yes it has.

But where are you reading about the change to RSK? There's nothing in the notes and last I tested it on the PTR the tooltip still said 15%.

http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/2...sues-part-iii/

it was 1% since the new mastery was released. the change in the bluepost is this:

Stacks of Tigereye Brew are cleared at the start of a raid encounter.

just a tooltip fix

[Deleted]

meh all these happy people xD
this class is going to be op at live lol

[burbon]

Yes it has.

GC just mentioned it a little while ago. Look towards the bottom of the post under DPS Tuning.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...1?page=80#1591

- Rising Sun Kick now increases your damage to the target by +10%, down from +15%.

[Ujio]

Updated the OP with the above mentioned changes + we are now under watch from Blizzard in regards to our high dps.

[George Costanza]

I assume chi burst is better for Challenge modes, (for windwalker obviously), as Chi wave, seems to be dealing more Single target damage, Chi burst Deals AOE damage and AOE healing, which is stronger than Zen sphere
