Blanka made some pound cake! (Pandas love pound cake!)

Blanka: "Raaaowww! Would anybody like some pound cake?"

Comment by zethcarn

Most effective when used by Gnomes.

Comment by Reignac

I feel like 46 is kind of a late level to get this. At least for WW, there aren't really any AoE choices before this since Fists of Fury's damage is spread evenly among mobs.

Comment by Astrix

Not sure how this scales to max level, but in the mid 60s, this ability is way over powered. As a mistweaver, any group of mobs I can get agro on, I can kill. Just took down 15 thorngrazers in nagrand that were 2-3 levels above me, and never dropped below 90% health. And this is in cloth heirlooms, so armor is probably on the low side. Can't wait to see how long this will hold up, or how long it takes to get nerfed!

Comment by PallyRogue

I, for one, running DPS on rogue or healer on priest, am not impressed with this ability. Does damage, ya, but does not seem to create aggro. I can pull aggro off a monk tank while they're doing this.

Comment by iamleejn

This spell actually deals damage (or heals for mistweavers) four times: the first tick happens immeadiately upon casting the spell.

Comment by Derren

Does the race or size matter for Spinning Crane Kick?

Because I noticed back at winterveil some races Spinning Crane Kick green circle visual was smaller or bigger. Like I had a gnome disguise from winterveil and that green circle visual was really small..

Comment by steppman2

This ability was the reason for the March 11th 2013 Shutdowns...it was hitting for 20 million damage per tick in LFR.

Comment by Frpw

Nothing like kicking your friends in the face to heal those wounds!

Comment by Bill0the0turtle

Does anyone know whether the chi proc will double (or triple) proc if you have your clones from Storm, Earth, and Fire out? For example, if I have three clustered targets, set clones from Storm, Earth, and Fire on two of them then activate Spinning Crane Kick, would it give you three chi?

Monks heal with their FEET.

Comment by mlowther

Gee, I don't know, but maybe this comment ought to have something to do with the topic.

Comment by Gyrwym

Penance and Arcane Barrage looked like hodouken for male troll priests. And now we have Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku. Also all the monks have Blanka'a roll and Honda's Hundred Hand Slap. I sense a Street Fighter fanbase among Blizzard programmers.

Comment by Tenjen

"Tsumaki-senpu-kyen"!

if you've ever wondered what those words are that Ryu shouts each time he does this move.

between fist fighting, chi burst (Hadouken!) and this.. Monks are amazing.
