I tried it out earlier this week. I know I tested it before the buff, but I cannot stress how crazy the alternative is (ancient teachings) in M+, even in ranged builds (assuming you took the new CJL talent as well). You DO NOT need to talent into Jadefire to benefit from this, since it now procs from Thunder Focus Tea as well!
Basically, when damage goes out:
- Use Thunder Focus Tea (you’ve now activated BOTH the increased Ancient Teachings buff and the enhanced Crackling Jade Lightning talent)
- Cast Crackling Jade Lightning, which now does an insane amount of damage and chains into multiple targets
- Watch as your party is healed to full.
It’s essentially another healing CD every 30 seconds that does considerable damage - even when you use more Soothing Mists builds! It’s so powerful that I’m considering going Master of Harmony in M+ because you get two separate uses of TFT (and two procs of the insane CJL conversion) every 30 seconds.
