I've been waiting along time to say this on something non Shaman related...

UNLIMITED POWER!

Comment by iamleejn

From a tanking perspective the knockback portion is intruiging. The 8 second ICD is not so different from a standard cooldown.

Comment by dirbrian

It can be useful to taunt for certain situations but otherwise they run really slow to you while you're channeling.

Comment by Disargeria

This appears to knockback targets around 15 yards. The glyph appears to add 3 more yards to the knockback.

Comment by Superchief

This ability is great in tandem with . If you are going up against melee obviously you would want to kite them with the knockback which is just far enough to get the snare effect from spinning fire blossom. A self peel, and exceptional ranged dps if you can keep kiting. Not to mention knocking players off cliffs. The glyphs for both this and the blossom are icing on the cake.

UUNNNNNLIMITED POOWWWWAAAAAHHH!

Comment by Lordplatypus

Come to the monk side of the force.

Comment by Taraezor

A generally underwhelming spell while questing Icy Veins, even with this Glyph. Has obvious situational use for mobs on low health and well outside melee range or for knocking players off the cliff at the Lumber Mill in Arathi Basin.

My main hot bar is rather crowded, even with macros. Better abilities are available while questing.

Based upon my comment above about melee I am obviously Windwalker. I post a link confirming my opinion (from a very reputable site) and I get down voted (see below too). I have ceased wondering why...

Comment by MrJumpingBean

If you character has a bit of spell power through buffs will this be affected?

Comment by SoultheUnicorn

On my lvl 70 Monk Healer, this is, like, the only way I can kill anything...my spell power changes the usual 100 or 200 damage per second to like 1400 - 2000 damage per second.

Comment by unholly

ridicilously overpowered... I never can understand why a healer should have such a power to kill anyone (seriously anyone!) in 3 sec...

Comment by Farmbuyer

This spell is a little unusual in that it's channeled, but you can't interrupt yourself by using another ability. For example, on a Mage you can channel Blizzard, but then if you decide to switch to Frostbolt, you can simply start casting Frostbolt to break the channel early.

But if you're channeling ~~Sith Lord Force Lightning~~Crackling Jade Lightning and the target ~~Jedi~~mob moves into melee range, you cannot simply Jab or Blackout Kick or whatever. You either have to finish the channel, or jump/move/Esc to stop channeling before doing something else.

Comment by olania

This is probably the best ability as a soloing Mistweaver. The lightning scales with your spell power, so it hits relatively hard (and the damage is increased by Teachings of the Monastery), and you get healed through Eminence. So even when whatever you're channeling on starts hitting you, it's still an effective means of killing.
