Not a fan of the Jadefire Stomp stuff (well i dont mind it really.), and definitely not a big fan of Whirling Dragon Punch… So I’m kind of hoping that the Emperor’s Capacitor (and its capstone talent that i forgot the name of) scales well to compete with them. I like watching my monks own chain lightning shoot off…
Also the Darting Hurricane talent buff from the other side of the tree?.. That’s… a capstone? It just -barely- speeds up the rotation.
I’ve played with it in keys for a little bit. It’s fun, but I think it gets outcompeted by other talents because some of the other ones got buffed big and you’re not allowed to die or you drop your stacks.
Raid ST might be a different story, but with how fast our rotation is, it might not be as feasible. And again, some of the other talents getting buffed big (notably Xuen’s Bond) might beat EC.
I like the theme of it, makes my feel like a sith lord or that dude from Big Trouble in Little China.
Unfortunately it’s not as strong as the other options, the base spell is only ever used for pulling flying enemies. Even at full charge, you still have to sacrifice up to 2 seconds to cast it, that means losing 1 gcd + 2 seconds of auto attacks. Maybe there’s a way to make the spell arc from your character while continuing to attack. I really want my lightning hands to be competitive. 
I think it’s fun, but seems like it takes way too long to build stacks.
This is why i submitted the suggestion of letting RSK and BOK generate multiple stacks… when RSK hits twice; or when Blackout Kick has its proc it could generate extras.
I am amazed no one has cried about it yet. I really like it and it makes me wish there was a little more variance for Windwalker like there is for Mistweaver. What I mean by that is, that in Mistweaver, half the tree is built around improving fistweaving, and the other half is about basic Mistweaving. What I wouldn’t give for the same for Windwalker where half was about melee kung-fu and the other half was throwing lightning and chi and wind.
But this is a very very nice compromise till then.
Strange for me to think my Year 1 Paladin now has serious competition for what I will main.
Uh to be fair the talents for caster MW only improve healing abilities, and caster MW spell damage abilities (ChiB, ChiW, CJL) are as pathetically weak as their fistweaving counterparts…
darting hurricane is a cringe talent to be honest. the gameplay loop stinks. it doesn’t read like a capstone either, but with how hard tiger palm hits this xpac and with the tier set being around tiger palm, it’s actually insanely powerful. in like… all forms of content. i do think the weenie roaster 5000 as i am now calling the talented jade lightning, could use like a 30% buff or just require less stacks to do the same full value. i think actually yeah, if it stacked like 25% faster it would be fine.
The base damage of CJL needs a substantial buff to begin with… I don’t know what it is with Blizzard being terrified of this ability being good for the past 10+ years.
From a PVP perspective, it just enables you to play SUPER cringe and then just cheese people.
From a PVE perspective? It doesn’t really tie well with the rest of the ww cds.
