Although the longer cooldown of Chi Burst felt awkward after so many months of just using Chi Wave all the time, the fact that you could use it to get Chi in AOE situations was REEEEEAAAALLLY nice. In addition, the occasional extra Chi from Power Strikes made it easy to work in other abilities like Blackout Kick or Fists of Fury when needed. The biggest issue with using Energizing Elixir is that since it is on the GCD, it doesn’t feel as smooth as it could if it was off the GCD.ĪOE, especially, felt very smooth, with the amount of resources coming in from Tiger Palm, being equal to those going out with SCK, so I didn’t feel like I had too much or too little. There were rarely times that I felt I was waiting more than a few seconds for resources to come back up. Even with the “less optimal” talent choice, resources in and out felt very smooth. I also liked how it had an effect on every single trash pack due to a quarter of the cooldown as Energizing Elixir. Even with Energizing Elixir being much easier to use than on Live, I elected to use Power Strikes as I’ve always preferred its more gradual influx of resources rather than tossing them all in at once. Needless to say, my play was far from “ideal” without all the visual cues that I have been using for years.įor the first dungeon, things felt pretty good. This was also done with no addons, very few UI improvements. This was done with the “original” Alpha talents that I felt, at the time, were the easiest and most enjoyable to play with. This was the first dungeon I had the opportunity to do. Talents: Chi Burst, Tiger’s Lust, Power Strikes, Tornado Strikes, Diffuse Magic, Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger, Whirling Dragon Punch.I also couldn’t test Serenity as its still not working correctly. I also don’t play many dungeons on Live, and don’t have anywhere near as much experiences with M+ as most people, so my perspective is not looking at how these dungeons will function in M+, but how Windwalker plays in the variety of scenarios that dungeons present. All specs are scaled down to the same level and ilvl when entering dungeons. Current focus of Beta is on balancing within a spec and making sure everything works and feels the way it should. We’re many weeks from any class balancing.
Here are the addons and profiles that I am using on Beta: I recorded all my dungeons and posted them on my Youtube channel HERE, as well as ran logs through WarcraftLogs HERE, and will continue to do so as I test more things throughout the next few months.īefore I get into how everything went Addons are enabled on the Beta right now and some have been updated enough to have (mostly) stable version. Over the past two weeks I spent some time going through the available dungeons in order to get some experience with how Windwalker is currently playing on the Alpha/Beta.
