Patch changes

• Patch 9.0.1 (2020-10-13): Redesigned. Now available to all monks.
  
• Patch 8.1.0 (2018-12-11): Damage reduced to 35% of your maximum health (was 50%).
  
• Patch 7.0.3 (2016-07-19): Redesigned and only available to Windwalker monks. Now deals damage after 8 seconds equal to the monk's health, with reduced effectiveness against player. No longer costs Chi and cooldown increased from 1.5 minutes to 2 minutes.
  
• Patch 6.0.2 (2014-10-14): No longer available to Mistweaver monks. Now requires the target to be below 10% health instead of having less health than you.
  

This is in error. The Mistweaver spec kept the ability and the 10% requirement only applies to "tough targets" such as bosses.

• Patch 5.0.4 (2012-08-28): Added.
