    5.2 Tigerseye brew

    It dawned on me that we won't be able to gain stacks pre pull because our healing talents will no longer cost the chi we used to build them. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.....

    Bit late to the party are we? I don't even play a Monk and I saw that coming!

    As someone mentioned in a previous thread - Fists of Fury does not require a target. You could always use that to build stacks.

    Ya I guess fists of fury will be our builder. Going to be a little different and a little slower. But, it's better than nothing. Especially since a lot of changes are coming for the better.

    Using Expel Harm and FoF takes about 60 seconds for 3 stacks of TEB.

    I was under the impression that Tigereye brew stacks and duration vanish when a normal/heroic boss is pulled? am I wrong?

    The stacks go away when a boss fight is engaged, the damage buff doesn't. You could stack before a boss fight and then activate it before the boss is engaged. This gives you a damage increase in the beginning of the fight.

    If it doesnt hit a target it doesn't count as chi spent.

    It would be nice to have stacks build out of combat, lol

    That completely defeats the purpose of it being designed as a ramp-up mechanic.

    We're already defeating the purpose by cheesing mechanics to pre-stack it. So tbh either they make us unable to pre-stack or gain stacks out of combat, which sounds like cool idea.

    It did, but with the T15 bonus - I feel like it could become negligible in the next tier. 10% seems low on the surface, but I think that's part of why they did the slight nerf - it can be incredibly strong if you gain a stack every time you BoK.
