So, every monk (regardless of spec) is well aware of Jade Serpent Statue and the changes it had in the past vs now. Literally every single expansion, serpent statue gets changed one way or the other.
But something that almost every MW monk used to take back in the day is now such a niche ability that even caster monks sometimes skip this talent.
MoP- Remember Eminence? Jade Statue was something that not only mistweavers took but fistweavers as well. The best of both worlds.
Before SL, remember how Jade Statue used to channel for a minute straight and you didn’t have to waste a gcd every 8 seconds to keep the HoT up on someone?
Remember when Jade Serpent statue was 50-60 yards range and then it got a reduced range change? (unnecessary)
Time and time again it got unwanted changes that made the statue even less used than it already was. It was never very strong to begin with but the constant changes to it has completely gutted any identity of what it once was.

The 50% healing from all damage done was very strong. Especially because it targeted always the most injured player.
This was an incredibly strong smartheal.
Nonetheless it could be a little what it was before with a smaller percentage of damage done and better normal healing. That way it would be a desired pick again for both.
Too many % of damage done converted into true smart-healing is really strong though as you waste as little healing as possible, being always very effective.

It needs to soo mist for 20-30 sec at the very least so we dont need to waste GCD’s every 7-8 sec to keep it rolling )
With unison JSS does a good amt of healing.
On my best Terros parse:
-JSS did 559.6k healing / 3.83% of my healing ( 337k / 2.31% of that being from JSS’s unison )
-Unison ( mine ) did another 293K healing or 2.01% of my healing
-SooMist ( only casted/cancelled once every 7-8 ish sec to restart JSS on tanks ) did 239.7k or 1.64% of my healing
Totaled around 869k healing or just under 7.5% extra healing. That’s pretty good, especially considering it’s a free stream of healing onto the tank most of the fight.
Adding more time to how long JSS soo mists ( 10 ish sec at least ) , or allowing Yu’Lon’s SooMist’s to benefit from Unison would be a very nice QoL changes that wouldn’t be too OP imo.
I personally wish they would make Yu’Lon a full time pet that incorporates unison and JSS into it though.
I feel like for how insanely mana efficient it is, JSS & Unison makes up a large amount of healing.
Normally combined my SoOM, my Unison, JSS SoOM, and JSS unison (all 4 activate based on 1 single button) combine to about 17-20% of my total healing done in most dungeons and raids.
When I use Unison and if I add all the SooM together it is usually my #1 or #2 heal of the run I’m doing, raid or dungeon. On most fights in raid I get over 1mil from the statue and it’s Unison and my personal one is roughly the same. Like Unison I feel like is slept on. But I also think that boils down to if you’re mistweaving instead of fistweaving you’re on a very strict mana timer where as with fistweaving it’s near infinite. That is one of the biggest issues with mistweaving right now, 0 mana regen anything, it’s all just reduction, with maybe a little boosting but not enough to make up for the fact our mana only ever goes down.
I didn’t play the last 2 xpacs so excuse me for being oblivious but what what their big reasoning for changing mana tea instead of properly balancing it? Was it just being lazy like I think? Because mana tea has got to be one of the best if not the best ability they have ever put in the game and then trashed it for this meodicore trash we have now.
I hate the Jade statue. I hate having to micro manage it. It feels terrible and often ends up sitting unused. So I gave it up in my caster build.

I like it because its so easy to use. A lot of times i dont even think about it, because it lasts for 15 minutes and i use soomi so often

Jade Serpent statue is one of the best things about mistweaver today. the 8second duration SUCKS… the fact you need to activate it sucks…
Look at the other two statues… Dropping tiger will start spam proccing every time you deal damage, no interaction nor having to go out of your way to activate it.
Ox just flat out Causes tank levels of threat and spams for 8minutes or until dead or relocated/despawned
Jade needs to be changed to Auto Heal all targets with your Enveloping mists active passively and cause Peaceful Mending to Proc.
Crane statue needs to be a thing and remove TOTM and just reintroduce Eminence, same thing, passive while statue is up
