Confused over WW aoe rotation!

so im only 62 atm but reading up and trying to learn as i go. I get most of the aoe rotation but i dont understand what that number is in the spinning crane kick ability button in on my actionbars… Like if i hit feks 2 targets, one with palm other with blackoutkick, then it says 4? or 3 or 5? so im trying to make sence of it… also on icy veins it says to dot up as many mobs as possible so i do, so if there is 10 mobs i try and tab target them to dot them and on screen they all have the dot… but then i hear that only 5 mobs can be affected…? but how come i can dot feks 10 then? so my rotation at lvl 120 will be something like storm earth and fire “dot dot” with diff spells (cause of mastery) then rising sun kick - fist of fury - whirling dragon punch and THEN spinning crane kick… or? and also… when to use chi burst here? so sorry for all questions in the world at once im just trying to make sence of it.

spinning crane kick does increased damage the more different targets you have tagged by your singletarget abilities (storm earth and fire will do this automatically when active)

You dont have any dot (besides a talent that can only be damaging a single enemy at a time), but you offer a debuff to increase physical damage on every enemy you attack.

hmm okay, but how high does that debuff go? like is that what they mean by there is no point in dotting more the 5 targets cause the debuff wont go higher anyway? and also is he button itself bugged cause when i dot lets say, two targets, the button count says feks 4? (also even if i dot 10 targets the count doesnt go higher then 5)

Limit is 5, it should be stated in the tooltip or on some other place in your skillbook.

thats what so odd, it doesnt… it just says that i can dot them but not the limit hmm but yes that makes all the sence in the world then, but does that then mean if its a debuff for me? like i could hit 1 target with palm and rising sun kick, and then another with feks blackout kick and that makes 3 stacks out of 5? or does it have to be one pr target?

Think there is some confusion here, the Spinning Crane Kick buff can only go to 5, but the increased physical damage debuff you can put on targets you hit can go on everything, there is no limit.
And you “rotation” changes a bit depending on number of targets, you do get to a point where SCK is just better than RSK.

I’m somewhat confused by this too. I get that you get a debuff on targets you’ve hit with Tiger or Blackout, shows 10% increased damage. What does the numeric value on the tooltip indicate? I’ve had this showing 5 when I’ve only hit 1 person?

Its how many unique targets you’ve hit with a ST spell within a timeframe , think its 20 or 30sec, highest it can go is 5, and that means your SCK is at “max power”

I’d reccomend getting Max DPS: Monk

So is that separate to the debuff that gets put on them (10% increase in damage) ?

You both are completely confusing 2 abilities you have. One is called mystic touch and it increases physical damage on any target you hit once with ANY damaging ability permanently which you can see as debuff on enemy nameplates.

Now SCK is completely separate from that and you wont see any debuff on ppl you hit once with ST abilities.
And you probably got multiple stacks when only hitting one thing is because your storm earth and fire clones do the tagging for you so it automatically stacks up.

For dps rotation read a guide on icy-veins or peak of serenity’s website.

EDIT: Ahhhhh I see now. I just did a bit of testing (was at work before) the debuff just signifies that you’ve tagged them and it’s added it to cranes damage, debuff is caclled “Mark of the Crane”
