Here’s why the WW rework failed

I think you are forgetting SEVERAL interactions that are the result of Haste; not just increasing the value of Fists of Fury.

1. Haste also affects the chance that Glory of the Dawn can proc; which also refunds a chi every time it happens.
2. Also haste also affects energy regeneration which affects Tiger Palm can be cast. Yes this has ALWAYS been the case, but by increasing the cost from 50 energy to initially 60 but lowered to 55 by Inner Peace, the value of haste is increased to allow for a slower pace to be sped up.
3. Haste also affects our auto attacks, which in turn increases our chance to have Dual Threat to proc.

and then also increases the damage of RSK through multistrikes but otherwise has less effects on our actual number of resource spenders (yes it has marginal effects on melee swings and some interactions related to them but its overall very small)

My overall point remains, these effects are marginal compared to the output of fists of fury and hastes effect on Fists of Fury.

Since the majority of the damage comes from the interaction with that spell, its essentially the same as versatility for it since haste increases the damage of it in the same way that vers does.

The additional chi and energy provided by having 35% haste vs 15% haste is not going to net you significant number of casts of Fists of Fury or any other spell for that matter to make a difference – thats kinda why WW is in the situation its in and hence the post
