Going for 'number of stacks' alone, we'll have to spend 50% more time building up stacks, since, to get maximum effect from TigerEye Brew, we need 15 stacks, up from 10. 15! That's half as many more stacks than we need now! Let's assume we get a TEB stack every 6 seconds. That means that the time needed to get maximum stacks for a TEB use went from 60 to 90 seconds.
And now, on top of that, going for 'generation of stacks', you get one stack per 4 chi, up from 3. So that means if you could get a stack every 6 seconds, on average, now you'll get one stack every 8 seconds. That means, time needed to get max stacks for a TEB use went from 60 seconds, to 120 seconds. Doubled the time needed to get it.
"Oh but our mastery will help us get stacks faster," you say. I call bull to that because unless someone posts a screenie from PTR showing how much our new mastery will work, I believe we can assume it's gonna be a small percentage, like baseline 5% or so 10% tops, like our current Tier 15 4-set bonus, scaling probably poorly with mastery, making Monks switch from Mastery builds to Haste builds, probably.
