Blackpaw 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 Dear fellow monks, Having recently made the transition from serenity to Chi explosion for cleave/stack fights I was surprised that there wasn't more readily available advice on the following question (maybe it's obvious to everyone but me): When using Chi explosion on a single target, is it preferable to have 2 or 4 chi? Of course 3 is optimal, but if you don't have a TP that needs refreshing etc... and you have the option of using 2 or 4, which is better? I theorize that as per tooltip: 2 = 3x2.4k + 50% over 6 seconds and 4 = 5x2.4k + 50% over 6 seconds + TEB. Therefore for 4 chi total used you can have 6x2.4k or 5x2.4 + TEB stack. Now if you consider that spamming 2 x 2 chi explosions vs 1 x 4 chi explosions probably wastes DOT duration by refreshing it too early, my gut feeling is that preferring 4 over 2 chi is better overall, yet when watching certain monks PVE videos I see them preferring 2 chi. Now I am inclined to think they probably know what they are doing, but I never like to assume such things or blindly follow the trend without understanding why. Any help resolving this issue would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
