I know it. You know it. That guy’s grandma knows it. CJL is a terrible spell.
It’s channeled, it tickles for next to no damage, and it does barely anything else.
Here are a handful of ideas to make CJL good or interesting. Of course, I don’t intend for these ideas to all be implemented at once, these are just scattered thoughts:
Make it usable while moving
Make each tick trigger Gusts of Mists on nearby allies
Make each tick reduce the cooldown of Thunder Focus Tea
If you successfully complete a full channel, electrocute the target. This would apply a 3 seconds DoT effect, ticking every second for decent damage.
Make every tick bump the target backward
The target is slowed for the duration of the channel
Successfully completing a channel turns your next CJL into an instant cast ability that deals the damage of a fully channeled CJL instantly.
There are countless ways to make this bland spell more interesting.
Feel free to contribute and suggest ideas of your own.
I agree that CJL is super clunky spell, however all of your proposals are pretty much: let’s integrate clunky spell with other spells. How will that improve anything?
Spell itself should be redesigned. Let’s see, the purpose of that specific ability is pretty much to pull flying or to los pull npc’s.
Ok, to make it insta-cast dot which is cast-able while moving is obvious way to go. To avoid spell becoming part of rotation it should be on 15seconds cd. Something like heroic throw of warriors just magical. Chi burn or whatever.
