Possible WW Covenant Switch to NF in 9.2?

The post about haste on WW tier set gear made me think a bit about possible meta covenant switch for WW to Night Fae.

I believe a big reason for the haste on the gear is that the 4P Bonus for WW triggers after 10 abilities – meaning that if you can cast abilities faster with more haste then you will trigger the 4P bonus more often.

With that in mind, I am wondering if Faeline Stomp + Faeline Harmony will be more ideal than Weapons of Order + Call to Arms, for three reasons.
1)Faeline Harmony + Faeline stomp resets with haste procs (from the new affix, BL, or Invoker’s Delight) will possibly amount to more abilities to press in a given time frame without becoming energy starved, triggering the 4p proc more often.
2)The damage bonus from Faeline Harmony on top of the damage bonus of the 4P set bonus seems very strong, with a good likelihood of reliably triggering Faeline Harmony before each set bonus proc.
3)Weapons of Order + Invokers Delight is ideal because WoO amplifies your burst during Xuen, however, last I heard about having two Xuen’s active simultaneously is that only the 1st Xuen deals the bonus damage with tiger lightning, essentially plummeting the value of Call to Arms. Can someone update me on that?

I dont main WW though so Im just throwing this observation out there for the WW community to play around with on the PTR or whatever. Best of Luck. Also, really interested in the possibility of Faeline Harmony + Emperors Capacitor, and using CJL on the double damage amplifier, but its more of a stretch than reliably proccing Faeline Harmony before each 4P proc.

NF WW does scale better with haste than the other covenants – to be clear haste isn’t the best stat for NF WW it just has a high stat weight as NF. But the lack of covenant ability that provides burst and loses damage if the tank moves out of it are major drawbacks.

If faeline stomp just did damage and the graphic was just pretty it would be much better. And instead of resetting faeline stomp just had a shorter CD it would also be better.

But I think the optimal strategy for many players will be to just ignore our 4pc because trying to play around it will end up being a dps loss. But the 4pc scales with all the secondary stats. Sure haste makes you have more empowered abilities but the other secondaries would cause your empowered abilities to hit even harder!
