Awesome guide. Lots of time and effort was sinked into this. Thanks for the time you put to help people learn, how to play one of the awesome pandas in HoTS. :)
You need to include in your guide that Storm Earth and Fire has a cast time. I never used it before, and didn't know. I waited until low health and hit it, just to see a cast bar and me die before it ended.
You said " Bottomless Mug - This is my least favorite talent, mainly due to it's lack of drinking brew frequently which is the main concern for Chen players. On the other hand you can auto attack a lot more, you are not Illidan for example and need to auto attack. You have to get in the fight and be the big fat panda you are and drink while your team does the rest of the work. If you are by yourself on a 1v1 or 2v1, you NEED to drink the whole time so this talent is absolute garbage. Try to avoid picking this."
Im not native english speaker so, correct me if im wrong. As per my understanding, you think Bottomless Mug makes your (D) lasts less but actually it's definition is "Reduces fortifying Brew's COOLDOWN by 2 seconds" so, the cooldown doens't mean it's going to last less but that you will be able to drink again sooner, so why say "you NEED to drink the whole time" if this talents will help you to do so?
I think what he's trying to say is that taking those talent only allows you to take advantage of it if you're not drinking for the full 5 second duration. This talent helps you take a sip more frequently for resources, which would help with a bruiser build, but there are much better talents that tier for a bruiser build. Generally, when I hop into a fight as Chen, I do my combo to get my dot on, then start drinking til my cooldowns reset or I need to jump out. Then combo again. Since I'm drinking to get my cooldowns to refresh anyway so I don't die, there's very little value in reducing the cooldown. I could see combining Relentless and Grounding Brew with Bottomless Mug to counter stun heavy parties, but not having Regen Master or Pressure Point will hurt you more than either of those talents will help.
Thanks. I type very fast, and when I have an idea to type something I try to do it quick so I won't forget and they way the coding is formatted it's very annoying to back and fix mistakes. When I get more time I will look each chapter over.
Also yes the bug has been fixed in the Monk patch. Maybe not totally fixed, but they improved it. hopefully we can see an overhaul on Chen, so I can upgrade with some new and exciting discoveries you know?
@Unexsist hey I appreciate your feedback. I need to make more renovations with the format and some content of the guide. It's been lackluster, because of work and college. Yeah I noticed that and I fixed it. Happy to know this inspired you to try him out. If you want to play sometime by battletag is @SacredEcho#1972
Great guide, I learned a lot (I even took notes!).
My only suggestion: maybe do some more editing?
Overall, great stuff; inspired me to give Chen another go.
Glad to see Flying Kick confirmed bugged.
Cheers.
First of all thank you for your effort and sharing this great guide with us. I hope Chen will have a comeback in HL and I will definitely try out him after reading this. Although i have found a little typo in your "Abilities" section. I guess the ability "breath of fire" should be the key "E" not "W".
