T21 Bonuses
I’m always surprised how quickly new bonuses and content is datamined. ToS was just released what, two weeks ago? Nonetheless, here are the (super early) t21 bonuses:
Item - Monk T21 Windwalker 2P Bonus - Free Blackout Kick Damage Increase (New) When you gain the Blackout Kick! effect, the damage of your next Blackout Kick is increased by 0%.
Item - Monk T21 Windwalker 4P Bonus - Free Blackout Kick Generates Chi (New) When you consume Blackout Kick!, you have a 0% chance to generate 0 Chi.
The 2p bonus was an idea that was popular in the community for a while and one that Blizzard seems to have taken notice of. Blackout Kick! has been a lackluster proc and would often throw somebody off rather than benefit them.
The 4p bonus is kind of out of nowhere and is already widely regarded to be a terrible idea. Ignoring the fact that it’s a proc tacked onto a proc, depending on the circumstance we very well might end up using SCK in single target to dump chi.
We’ll see what happens especially when the numbers are released. This might give the new legendary helm some more potential, as its proc is just a forced Blackout Kick! proc. Babylonius’s spreadsheet reports that the percentage gain to blackout kick will need to be around 476.5% to be on par with 2p19′s bonus. [This is not my finding.]
