This is exactly what monks needed. WW's above 2.2k should double. Serenity finally give monks instant dependable burst. Long gone are the days of getting behind on pressure in 3's waiting to build TEB to burst with your partners. PvP wise, you can use energizing brew to build TEB and chi then follow with Serenity for nasty pressure. The possibilities are endless! Shadowdance for monks :D

I can see people crying on the boards already (monks are OP!) Why do you think so? (5 flying pancake kicks crit me for waffles! Nerf!)

It will be interesting to see how this spell works for Brewmaster PvE. Using this early in the fight with at least 2 chi would basically give 50 seconds of shuffle (if you spam blackout kick for the entire duration), making maintaining it throughout a fight completely trivial.

Edit: Another great use of this talent would be high physical damaging phases (i.e. Solo tanking Malkorok Blood Rage). With this active you wouldn't have to worry about running out of chi to purify with.

So I can just spam blackout kick? awesome...

Comment by Taraezor

Cast on near full Chi as it does not replenish Chi, so you need at least the cost of your most expensive ability to already have been covered. Thinking Fists of Fury here.

Ideally, you would want to cast this 8.5s/9s prior to FoF coming off CD so that its cost would be refunded but you wouldn't lose the 4s FoF channel as unused Serenity potential.

Realistically, cast Serenity on CD. simple as that. No need to Jab.

While Serenity is up it is business as usual, except with no occasional Jabs.

Given the above, simply spamming Blackout Kick while serenity is up would be a significant DPS loss, whether single or AoE targets.

It seems that in Legion, this spell is getting a massive buff, but replaces Tigereye Brew. Interesting!

Comment by leowow

It was totally nerfed. And no Brewmaster use it now.
This spell made Brewmasters get to more than 100 waves in Endless Challenge back in the days.
Now you cant even reach Wave 10.
This nerf was devastating for Brewmasters on raiding too. We couldnt stack longer Shuffle anymore.
Brewmasters were almost the best tank class at the start of WoD, now they are totally overtaken by DK tanks.

It's weird that NOBODY mentioned it so far....but you shouln't use this during heroism/time warp /bloodlust, the main effect of those abilities on monk are on auto-attack and energy regeneration, and this talent here basically removes your need to spend energy, thus halfing the purpose of heroism /time warp/bloodlust.

If you use it after you'll have 10 (or 5 if brewmaster) extra seconds of burst damage.

Now I'm sure the devs are G Gundam fans... The whole trading battle rage for serenity and wrecking stuff even more than before... Even the unlimited Chi part for a little while to spam special moves.

Why would I want this over the default Storm, Earth, and Fire?
Not only do you lose the 2nd charge but it has less buff uptime, the same cooldown as SEF, and less overall damage bonus (x1.2 vs .45x3=1.35)
The best use I can think of is in single target it allows you to spam Sun Kick with 2 blackouts about 3 or 4 times, but it's too far short of a buff and too long of a cooldown to really be used that way outside of pvp.
