An update on this: We've significantly improved Storm, Earth, and Fire's AI, and tailored it for its new purpose.

Storm, Earth, and Fire clones will count toward Spinning Crane Kick, and they will actively seek to maximize its effect. Every time they TP or BoK or Rising Sun Kick, they'll switch to a new target. Their target selection logic will try to hit targets that haven't been hit yet, and beyond that will prefer ones that were hit longest ago. They'll also ignore targets that have >90% DR or are not in combat with you. And since they Flying Serpent Kick to each target, they lose nearly no time in travel time even if the targets are spread apart.

Basically, Storm, Earth, and Fire should help you maximize Storm, Earth, and Fire in just a couple GCDs, while they're out.

Assuming this is a typo and means Maximise Spinning Crane Kick, does this mean that you've decided to have a hard cap on the Spinning Crane Kick stacks?

It's been expressed that 5-7 stacks would be the best route for this ability.

Has it been decided on 3 or 4 chi yet?

This question slipped my mind the other day but do these stacks for Spinning Crane Kick get consumed each time you use Spinning Crane Kick or does it just roll for 15 seconds for each target?

Just another thought, and hear me out. With the new Storm, Earth, and Fire change being almost exclusive to use in PvE, could we do a talent switcheroo? Nerf Xuen's damage a little bit, but make him baseline(as it probably should've always been) and put the new Storm, Earth, and Fire in his spot on the talent tree. That way we could pick Storm, Earth, and Fire for those crazy AoE fights(Hello Iskar, my old friend), but have Hit Combo or Rushing Jade Wind for other situations and then we have our Xuenny-poo all the time. This would also give PvPers another valid CD to use and so they wouldn't have to look at Storm, Earth, and Fire on their bar wondering if they'll ever use it. I just don't see the point of giving us Storm, Earth, and Fire baseline when it'd only be useful on a handful of fights, whereas Xuen would be the most generic CD for use on everything for both PvE and PvP.

I may just be completely crazy, but I wouldn't be opposed to the new Storm, Earth, and Fire change if that was the case. Could potentially be swapped for other things as well, that was just the one that made perfect sense to me.

Storm, Earth, and Fire

i do have a question about the counter. Based on the description, I can tag 10-12 targets within 4-5 globals (depending on if you tab target or not to help the Storm, Earth, and Fire). There should be a way to show which targets have been tagged. That way us as a player know not to attack a tagged target. Secondly If I tag a target, and 5 seconds later TP that same target, will the counter for that target get refreshed? Also what will the Storm, Earth, and Fire do if they run out of targets to tag? Will they stop on said target and just continue to copy your moves until someone's "debuff" falls off?

Storm, Earth, and Fire

Maybe a moot thing once people talent into the Storm, Earth, and Fire artifact trait (38% damage instead of 33%; or a total of 114% damage).

There was a very recent post from Celestalon aimed at frost mages, that referenced efforts to reinforce their niche of 2 target cleave, which has existed "for a while". Since Storm, Earth, and Fire came out in mid MoP Windwalkers have likewise had a niche with cleave - even spread cleave. I guess this does not count as "for a while"? Or there are other reasons why this long-running spec identity is no longer acceptable?

Agreed. Not intended for Symbols of Death to cost Energy when applied through Phantom Assassin. Fixed in an upcoming build.

I did it once I'm not doing it again unless for something bigger and great than a whistle.Comment by GendouThere's five entries. Stuff about mounts, monks and movies...
... and people are complaining about Pepe? Come on, folks, really?

I can't tell if this is just the typical "kids think it's cool to hate things other people love" crap, or what.
I don't know. And honestly? I really don't care.
I just think it's rude and demoralizing to have people come in and dump all over something other folks enjoy.

I don't find stuff about raids interesting. I stopped raiding back during Wrath. Raid information bores me.
But I don't begrudge people who want to read about it, and I certainly don't %^&*! about the plethora of posts regarding raids.
That would be both stupid of me (considering the fact that it's clearly something people want) and rude to the folks who work hard to compile and post raid information.

So don't like Pepe if you want, haters - but keep it to yourselves. No one wants to hear it. Really.Comment by SubjectVThere's five entries. Stuff about mounts, monks and movies...
