I used to main WW for years and recently came back to it and having a lot of fun in PvP with it while running the build surrounding Last Emperor’s Capacitor(the crackle build).
While reviewing the new stuff for midnight I saw it was no longer a talent which made me a bit concerned.
For me, the build is really satisfying to play and tons of fun and I would love if it was not taken away.
I notice we still have the ability itself so does it just go back to being useless? Did I miss something? Or are there any plans for this that anyone knows? Thanks in advance.
Aside from just using it to tag mobs from range, yes, useless.

Dont forget one shotting mobs at range in old content.
Love the ability because of this.
@op yeah you wont ever use it in real fights apart from maybe as an attack to keep your combo going.

That’s rarely (never, really) worth it due to how much energy it costs.
Can we trade lightning for JFS?
Crackling Jade Lightning for Windwalker was absolute garbage. I’m genuinely glad they removed it in the alpha—good riddance!
I’m 99% positive that they’re not removing CJL, at least not that I’ve seen. They’re just removing the talents that buff it, for some reason. Probably so we don’t have to count to 20. I suspect that Blizzard thinks that means we would need to take off our shoes…
I feel like a decent half measure would be to tie getting a supercharge of CJL with PottK to trigger off an ability. Maybe let it trigger off of Zenith or SotWL. That said, with how things look on the talent tree, Zenith feels too long a CD and SotWL feels too short a CD.

Agreed. Not sure why the Monk devs doesn’t understand.
Your player base likes force lightning.

It seems the monk tank JL is quite effective. It deals significant damage and has a cooldown, instead of stacking. They could do that for the other specs as well. WW in Midnight feels very strange.
What if instead of this new cooldown doing crit stuff it made any mob you hit also have CJL channeled into them for free and while the ability was active you had lightning flowing through you? And maybe it gave all our abilities a 20 yard range for the duration?
