The last difference between chi and combo points or holy power, is that the skills that use them are not "finishers". Energy is their secondary resource, they use it on filler skills such as Tiger Palm, but the vast majority of their moves actually require Chi, which is generated by spending energy.Īnother thing that sets apart the chi from combo points, is that the chi is placed at yourself rather than your target (Like the paladin's Holy Power charges) While DKs use runes for their main resource, and this in turn generates a secondary resource (Runic Power) which is then spent on filler skills (Death coil, frost strike, rune strike) Monks work the other way around.

Monk healers bring harmony and balance to every group, healing even the most grievous of injuries with ancient remedies and focused spiritual arts. Masters of bare-handed combat, monks choose to draw their weapons only for devastating finishing moves. Restricted from using any type of weapon by their slave masters, these Pandaren instead focused on harnessing their chi and learning weaponless combat. When the Pandaren were subjugated by the Mogu centuries ago, it was the Monks that brought hope to a seemingly dim future. Elements of the qi concept can also be found in popular culture, for example The Force in Star Wars.Notions in the west of energeia, élan vital, or vitalism are purported to be similar. Some elements of qi can be understood in the term energy when used by writers and practitioners of various esoteric forms of spirituality and alternative medicine.
