When it expires on an ally it will attempt to jump to an enemy within range that does not already have Enjambre adaptable. As of Patch 9.1.5, if no enemy exists that matches this criteria, Enjambre adaptable will jump to an ally in range instead.

Enjambre adaptable will not jump to an enemy not currently in combat.

The HoT/DoT increase of Enjambre adaptable does apply to itself.

Enjambre adaptable does apply a stack of Maestría: Armonía causing higher mastery healing on that ally.

Prior to engaging an encounter to utilize the pre-pull downtime and activate the 120 mastery buff.

Prior to major incoming damage of a particularly nasty mechanic for survivability.

During periods of healing downtime to ensure no one dies during the 3s channel and reduce the overall healing requirement.

To avoid crowd control when utilizing Forma definitiva.

Solvente volátil grants the 120 Mastery Solvente volátil: Humanoide buff and empowers the passive effect of Forjacarne to grant additional buffs based on the type of corpses you consume.

Solvente volátil: Bestia - 2% Primary Stat Increase

Solvente volátil: Elemental - 3% Magic Damage Done Increase

Solvente volátil: Aberración - 78 Armor Increase

Solvente volátil: Mecánico - 5% Magic Damage Taken Reduction

Solvente volátil: No-muerto - Killing an enemy heals you for 5% of maximum health

Solvente volátil: Humanoide - 120 Mastery Rating Increase

Solvente volátil: Demonio - 3% Stamina Increase

Solvente volátil: Dragonante - 3% Critical Strike Increase

Solvente volátil: Gigante - 3% Physical Damage Increase and 10% Size Increase

Coraza antifricción de Ooz allows you to better survive any follow up damage that would occur after a burst that reduces you below 50% health with a 15% max health absorb shield. If burst damage is continually dipping you below 50% health this will be fantastic but do note the 30s ICD.

Forma definitiva, causes you to regenerate 6% max HP and be crowd control immune over the duration of the Forjacarne channel. If you manage to complete the full Forjacarne channel, then the crowd control immunity persists for 3 additional seconds and you regenerate another 6% max HP over those 3 seconds.

Maniobras ondulantes provides a small stagger-like survivability buff. Nothing huge, but helpful nonetheless.

Moquito de Kevin, the new capstone trait in 9.1, provides some additional healing in the form of some minor absorbs via Kevin everytime you cast Enjambre adaptable.

Dar el ejemplo, the initial trait in the tree, is what makes Emeni a strong option. A flat 5-13% intellect buff but because the buff duration scales with cooldown of our class ability it's not as great at first glance. With Enjambre adaptable at a 25s cooldown the duration is roughly 4s so somewhere short of 20% uptime overall. Not bad and not only are you getting this buff but you're also helping allies at the same time. Win-win situation. Strong ability that only requires a couple of allies to maximize the benefits.

Piel magnífica de Emeni grants you a flat 5% extra maximum HP when casting Forjacarne. Not huge, but the early potency conduit that accompanies it makes this survivability increase worth it.

Carne ambulatoria de Emeni allows channeling of Forjacarne to be done while moving. This negates one of the major downsides of Forjacarne, but unfortunately is accompanied by a endurance conduit slot.

Mordisqueadores rechinantes can be a nice haste buff but requires consistent enemy deaths to maintain any sort of meaningful uptime. Healing any ally that damages these enemies does count as you defeating an enemy, so no damage from you is required. Unfortunately the potency conduit attached to Dedos cartilaginosos tends to more favorable in most situations.

Costura resistente provides a nice magic damage shield that will be easy to gain on cooldown.

The new capstone trait in 9.1 for Emeni, Erupción de pústula, turns Forjacarne into a damaging ability but the damage is somewhat lackluster and loses value if you have to hold Forjacarne for any reason.

Ensueños fraguanatos, a pseudo-Espíritu redentor ability and flat 3% intellect buff (assuming you're enchanted), allows you to continue to heal for 10s following your death albeit at a 50% reduced capacity. Pretty solid just for being enchanted..

Arte de forjacarne ingenioso provides an additional second of cooldown reduction for Forjacarne via its passive effect.

Arsenal de Heirmir: Gema con tuétano grants an enormous amount of critical strike chance for 10s, but can only occur once every 60s. While we're able to quickly proc this via HoT ticks once the ICD is up, it's questionable as to whether this increased throughput will line up with incoming damage. Unfortunately there's also no good way to throttle yourself to hold the proc for just the right moment.

Ojo del tallador grants mastery when you damage an enemy above 90% health. This is problematic as a healer to activate and typically the first 10% of an encounter is fairly easier to heal. Might be good if you can frequently tag new enemies like in Mythic+.

Equipo mnemónico, the new 9.1 capstone trait, is mostly about utility or damage for healers. Unless you're wanting to deal additional damage, you'll see better results from other soulbinds.

Emeni's Lead by Example talent duration depends on the cooldown of covenant ability. So for Druids intellect buff duration is just 4 seconds.
