Looks like a little buff for fistweavers imo, since we always will jab for chi so we always will have the buff from it

Yeah those notes do cause a WTF reaction at first until you read further. This is actually very good news, now if only MW got the 25% pvp power damage boost that hybrids got for healing.

selective reading at its finest!

This thread needs to be closed and deleted. No reason to spread someone else's selective reading into the minds of passerby.

This will not fix fistweaving. It won't "kill" what's left of it, but it isn't going to fix a thing.

[apepi]

Interesting, I am not sure how this will effect me in pvp though. I guess when ever I SCK to spin a flag(literally:O) I can just blackout kick then hit them....but what worries me is blackout kick only hits things in melee range(really small) so it would not hit all the target so it would end up being a nerf....

[Raugnaut]

Damage move healing has been reduced by half, while healing from TP/BOK has be anywhere from doubled to quadrupled. Jab will heal for half, while TP/Blackout Kick will heal for double. CJL has had damaged doubled. This will make it to where, for damage, we CJL, for chi-building, we Jab, and all fistweaving healing will come from Chi abilities.

[apepi]

Passive auto-attack healing has been reduced, healing done through chi spenders has been increased greatly.

I would not say auto-attack is entirely passive anyways because you have to BCK

[Deleted]

Passive auto-attack healing has been reduced by half (Was it really all that much?), while healing from TP/BOK has be anywhere from doubled to quadrupled.

Serpent's Zeal hasn't been touched, special attacks have been buffed.

[TheTrueM4gg0t]

Passive auto-attack healing has been reduced, healing done through chi spenders has been increased greatly.

why?? serpents zeal is still the same, our auto-attack is still the same, why is that being reduced?
what is changing, is that we'll be using jab+TP for singletarget fistweaving in any case, and jab+jab+BoK for multitarget fights. and now we'll actually be doing some DPS while fistweaving! yeah!
and hell, if Muscle Memory stays as is, at 200% more dmg, thats a huge fuckin buff for the healing and the dps! the 50% eminance nerf + 100% more TP damage cancels out, but on top of that 200% more dmg=heal? thats gonna be huge!

[Raugnaut]

Could you tell me what would? This A) greatly increases Fistweaving damage, by either Tiger's Palm hitting for 4x the amount now (Double damage with the 100x damage buff from passive, double THAT from the Muscle Memory), or Blackout cleaving for 50% of original damage, AND also benefiting from twice damage (Thus, not only will it do 2x damage as what it used to do, if it cleaves, it does up to 8x damage it used to do.

You are the prime example of people that read one nerf in the patch notes, start complaining on the forums about it, and forget to read about the huge buffs further down the post. Good job
