Psychic skill changes

sergiatte

So with the northern realm update alot of classes got some skill changes, some more obvious than others, just wanted to create a post to collect info on whats changed about the psychic.

I noticed that Tradewinds recived an anti stun buff for 5 seconds and became instant cast. The skill can be glyphed to increase anti-stund duration.

In addition Black voodo and white voodo became instant cast at cost of no longer generating chi.

Any other changes people noticed?

Well, this is interesting.
It looks like they made most things "faster", especially on the cast time. One second here, 0.5~0.7 there...hmm.
Instant Tradewinds+short anti stun is nice and the Stone Smasher buff is probably the most impactful change to make it more of a nuke. Kinda cool.
Mixed feelings about the Voodoos though. Instant cast is nice, but it was one of the few ways to build chi out of combat without Master Li's or other external sources. Faster cooldown is also welcomed for actual battle application though - its much less vulnerability in general there.
