Well, no.what about compared to power torrent with 30 less int on the proc.
Well, no.
I've been playing boomy this patch and see 90% of caster dps using jade spirit. In your guys opinion what makes jade spirit better than the burst black magic can provide and what about compared to power torrent with 30 less int on the proc.
I don't think any caster DPS uses Jade Spirit for the spirit proc.Jade Spirit is highly overrated at level 19. Obviously this is just my opinion, but I think it's popular use can be due to various reasons. Firstly people tend to not be aware that the spirit proc is based off of BASE mana, thus you have to be very VERY low for it to proc. Then secondly people prefer to not have to weapon swap either because they are unaware they can, they do not want to have to watch for procs, or they do not want to waste the gcd to do so.
All in all it comes down to preference. If you are a player that is not going to want to watch procs or your mana then by all means go with Jade Spririt it's probably your best option. But if you want to take things to the next level then I'd recommend looking into different combinations depending on your class.

Hurricane
Has a 45 second internal cooldown.
Proc rate approximately 10-15%.
Black Magic
Has a 35 second internal cooldown.
Proc rate approximately 35%.
BM > Hurricane
edit: figuring out ppm of each with simple maths.
Black Magic: 1.71428571429PPM
Hurricane: 1.33333333333~PPM
Jade Spirit: Imo its probably the best healer enchant out there as if you ever reach less than 25% mana you'll gain xx amount of spirit for the duration of the proc which isn't something to really laugh at as it can keep you going for a while longer.
However we do have other viable enchantments that we could consider
Black Magic Hurricane and even Windsong are three viable enchantments that can cause a nasty problem regardless of what kind of caster you are. Yes; BM isn't exactly the best for a healer but if your loldotting and lolbursting on people you will see a proc sooner or later in which case for 8 amount of seconds (maybe?) you can spam the fuck out of your heals and reapply dots so they go omnomnomnomnom 10 times as fast. Seeing as we don't have access to Mastery (thank god) Windsong will only proc crit and haste, iirc both can proc in the same life (two weapons, offensive/defensive abilities) so you could potentially benefit from double crit, double haste or even a mix of both.
Everyone has stated the most viable opinion/option in this matter with your boomy however. Black Magic would most likely be best, unless you feel the need to get some extra crit with them DoTs.
I quote the PPM from a different thread to hear for OPs convenience.
Jade Spirit is only viable for weapon swapping as a healer. The int proc is garbage on it at low levels. Anybody who says otherwise doesnt know what they are talking about.
Forgive me for stating my opinion, I have no idea what I'm talking about apparently. :3
