When is the one shot coming? Is it celestial conduit? Slicing wind? Why did I die in 1 second here, what cds was it cuz I didn’t see conduit or winds being used (I was reacting to those all game).

Well he was blowing you up with Fists of Fury (assuming you’re the Warlock in the clip). Then as you port away, he already was casting Crackling Jade Lightning on you.
He’s playing Shado-Pan with the talents Last Emperor’s Capacitor and Power of the Thunder King.
Basically this lets the Monk build up stacks that power up Crackling Jade Lightning. He pretty much looks like he Emperor Palpatine’s your booty. Channeled casts go through walls if they are started before you line of sight them. So you got fried it looks like.
The caveat to running Shado-Pan is that Last Emperor’s Capacitor takes a while to build up to full stacks. And you don’t have CC immunity granted by playing Conduit of the Celestials. His build is high risk, high reward in a way. Definitely works a lot better in 3s where games last longer. In shuffle it’s very hard to use.
So this build is typical ww cds with the images and stuff plus I got to watch for stacks of whatever buffs crackling? And they want us to not have addons?!
When you put it that way.
I think it is pretty whacky how quickly the cast channels. The best way to counter it is to always expect it I guess. I’m sure you can find a WA to track it if you wanted to (not certain on that though). Best thing you can do is try to stay in line of sight of your healer and around pillars unless you absolutely can’t. Also of course, interrupt the channel as soon as possible, or use any kind of CC to stop it. And hope your partner is watching for it too.
The monk rotation just stacks crackling, it’s got no timer and stacks 20 times.
It’s a buff icon that is just green lightning.
As for Monk dmg, their set bonus is really really strong.
Is that what makes fof randomly hit hard?
Yeah that 4 set is nuts, read the tooltip very carefully.
I don’t quite think people have realized there’s no limitation to the set bonus.
Its a combination of a LOT of stuff
Storm earth fire, xuen, thunderfist, celestial conduit, dragon punch, spinning crane, slicing winds.
Axe toss or kicking the channel doesn’t require addons unless you have really bad eyesight
You can also just generalize gameplay against specs regardless of tuning and never read patch notes
For WW you just simplify it to
Leg sweep? Probably uhoh
Tiger/clones? Probably uhoh
Doing something weird like channeling crackle? Assume uhoh
All 3 combined 100% uhoh
I saw it did but 6 million in .5 seconds…
