About this module
The priority
- Invoke Xuen — when it is ready
- Zenith — when it is ready
- Tiger Palm — low on chi with energy near the cap
- Whirling Dragon Punch — when it lights up
- Fists of Fury — when it is ready (not repeated)
- Rising Sun Kick — when it is ready (not repeated)
- Blackout Kick — with combo breaker (not repeated)
- Spinning Crane Kick — with dance of chi-ji (not repeated)
- Tiger Palm — below 4 chi (not repeated)
- Blackout Kick — to spend chi (not repeated)
- Tiger Palm — as a filler (not repeated)
- Spinning Crane Kick — as a last resort (not repeated)
Common mistakes
- Pressing Tiger Palm twice in a row.
- Capping Energy while sitting on low Chi.
- Spending Chi on Blackout Kick while Rising Sun Kick or Fists of Fury is ready.
What’s simplified
- Each turn is one decision (about one global cooldown). Cooldowns and buff durations are converted to turns, so timing is approximate.
- Priority order follows SimulationCraft’s default priority list for this build, simplified to the abilities modeled here. Costs, cooldowns and effects come from Blizzard’s spell data. Rule wording is our own.
- Repeating an ability isn’t blocked (in game it just loses Combo Strikes), but the recommended rotation never repeats one.
- Cooldowns are approximations of their talented values: Rising Sun Kick 6 turns, Fists of Fury 6 turns (resets are folded in), Whirling Dragon Punch 16 turns.
- Energy caps at 150 (an approximation of the talented cap) and regenerates 12 per turn. Chi caps at 6.
- Combo Breaker (free Blackout Kick) and Dance of Chi-Ji (free Spinning Crane Kick) are 15% chances per turn. Chi Explosion, Rushing Wind Kick and Celestial Conduit are not modeled.
