Notes

In my opinion, Tanya's Love Letter is one of, if not the single most overrated item in the game.  The +2 attributes alone provides 640 DR, and for those without access to Mask of the Goat it is also giving you that extra TTL due to nearby enemies always being weakened. I think too, using either Tanya or the Mask makes it opportune to use Insignia of Wolverine since it is essentially an extra free 139DR. So for the gear above here, I am still in the process of getting a well rolled Hood of Bihar so I'm still using a Mask of the Goat as you can see. I think it is important to mention, I do NOT have all green rolls on my gear. My gear is well rolled for the most part, but do not feel that you are only going to get optimum performance from this build with 91%+ rolls. Also, I haven't managed to get a cosmic Flag of the Skrull Empire either, but when I do the above affix is what I'm going to use. And lastly, my catalyst is honestly quite terrible but I once again, what I linked above there is what I've been trying to trade for. I think Iron Fist is in a tremendous spot at the moment, and it opens up a lot of paths for your gear. Xuichichi is also my in game name so feel free to message me if you have questions or want some gear alternatives and/or rotation advice. :)

I feel that this particular build is a very solid mix of TTK and TTL. If you're looking for the fastest dummy times this build isn't for you. If you want to be able to reliably solo bosses in CMM, CICP or CHT between boss waves or even the entire wave itself however, this is for you.

The Good Stuff

So this build comes from me getting advice from a fellow Iron Fist player, Savacus. I don't know if Iron Fist is main, and honestly this all intially came from me being super impressed with how I saw him play his Iron Fist when we happened to be in CMM together. We spoke, he gave some advice and shared his build which this is very, very similar to. I just want to give credit where credit is due. Alrighty, so the point of this build is refreshing your CD's via and making sure you are in when you activate our bread and butter as that will also reset our CD's of everything except Chi Surge. Thanks to the Blended Styles talent (row 3) upon activation of a stance, you maintain the benefits of the previous stance for 8 seconds.

Rotation

Feel free to move the powers around as you see fit, I personally am a fan of having the dash power on right click. This mostly comes from the old days, but old habits are hard to break :)

So the first rotation of a fight will not be fully as optimal since you will only have up whichever stance you choose to start the fight with (I recommend Leopard). However, after using your opening stance, Fury of Five Hundred Fists and Seven Armies Sundered at which point you activate your next stance, you'll be in the full swing of things.

My personal rotation is:

I always keep the LMB held down, which for me is .

to start, , , , (which once again, this will reset your CD's)

At this point, you want to again use (which now has the benefit of both stances), and again. At this point, you can activate your next prior to using which refreshes everything. From here you are going to use and as much as you can (also getting the extra damage from the free Chi Burst from our Eddies of Chi talent (row 2)). Use and to reset your CD's as they are available, and for the moments where everything is on CD (it is rare, but it will happen from time to time. The exact time will vary depending on how much -%spirit cost you have of course) make sure you are holding using to fill in those gaps. Lastly, remember to switch between and every 8 seconds to maintain the benefits of both stances.  It is going to be a little overwhelming at first, you'll mess up your rotations (trust me). But before too long, you'll be an Iron Fist pro!

Tips to help you survive

For the moments you have used all your dash charges and you just absoloutely need to get out of the way, both and teleport you a short distance as long as you have a target, so feel free to target nearby trash to stay alive in a pinch.

If you encounter the above situation but those moves are both on CD as well, no worries because grants you invulnerability for the duration of the animation. So if things are really hairy you can also use this in a pinch just to stay alive and fortunately, this does not need a target to activate.

I have noticed that sometimes there is a bug when attempting to use . The move will "go off" and reset your CD's but it won't actually go on CD itself. You are unable to use this move until you either rezone, or manually reset your CD's via . It is unfortunate to sometimes have to waste your reset because of the bug, but it doesn't really happen to me too often and you just kind of get used to it. You'll definitely know exactly what I'm talking about too if it happens to you.

 

Example of my rotation and dummy time

I took me about 2:23 to kill the dummy so as I mentioned there are certainly more "burst" builds out there if that is what your end goal is but the more important function of this video is so you can see the rotation.

 

 

CMM

Pardon the lagginess btw, all of my fans recently died in my PC so I am literally only able to play through the use of a well placed tower fan until I have my replacements. :(

So mostly alone for the Sinister 6 here (roughly first 2/3), Man-Ape is 2:26 and Crossbones is 3:53.
