There are obvious reasons to take gust over lunge, and it's not just the cooldown.
It's the freedom of movement. You can use gust to move anywhere, lunge is target tied, which is why I find it confusing that feral lunge has double the cooldown of gust when it should be the other way around (well, not really, gust is just a weaker blink so both should be 15 sec cd and lunge should have something else).
Feral Lunge also feels wonky to me, sometimes it flat out refuses to activate and it's not because of a deadzone.
Hi folks! I have two questions about the rotation. If we take boulderfist, empowered stormlash and ascendance. Should we prioritize boulderfist over crash lighting/lava lash during feral spirit/ascendance even if we would cap maelstrom? And the other question is: after the first boulderfist for the buff and applying frostbrand (with hailstorm)/flametongue. Should we use ascendance before stormstrike or after cause it's resetting stormstrike?

He has it set to trigger by using the player's Crash Lightning buff. But Crash Lightning doesn't give the player a buff.
Make sure your mana bar from wordup's aura strings is not covering the spot where crash lightning would show.
It is a buff. Check your buff bar. It's just that you don't get a buff unless you hit more than one target.
His auras display just fine for me.
You should never be overcapping maelstrom unless you get more windfury procs with wolves on than you can spend on.
It's simple. You put your wolves up, and mash lava lash until you get below 90 maelstrom while Stormstrike is on cooldown and Flametongue buff is up.
You have a Boulderfist buff last for 10 seconds so you can easily fit like 4 lava lashes in between those with ascendance and wolves up, which should keep you from overcapping.
Overcapping maelstrom means malestrom is wasted, which is basically wasted damage. It's never good to overcap maelstrom.
Even if Lava Lash is weak relative to your other skills, it's better to lava lash to dump excess maelstrom than waste maelstrom.

There is not a Crashing Storm aura. It's Gathering Storms which is an artifact trait that goes along with Crash Lightning in there. There is absolutely no reason to have a Crashing Storm aura as it's simply passive damage that has no added effect to gameplay that you need to play around.
So now that I've been able to run through several dungeons and raids, I have a question about the end of fights:
Let's say the boss is at about 5% health left, I have 60-70 maelstrom, and Stormstrike just went on cooldown. Would it be best to dump that 60-70 maelstrom on Crash Lightning/Lava Lash (just to get in what damage I can before the boss goes kaput), or is it better to hope for another Stormbringer proc? Basically, should I keep to my normal rotation, or dump my maelstrom for a bit of extra damage?
End of fight you need to execute on your chosen method of superstition to get those sweet, sweet loots.
Also, I've been lurking this thread for months now, just wanted to pop in and say thanks so much to this community. It's been wonderful to have such great, levelheaded discussions and sharing of information. I'ma go back to lurking now, you all continue about your business.
Hey wordup
Is there a certain situation where choosing empowered stormlash would be better than Tempest?
I hope not, i'd feel pretty lazy taking it as a talent

Sometimes streaming on Twitch.tv, leave me a follow or a message if you like!
So at level 110 and with the artifact weapon do talents that aren't boulderfist and landslide become better? I currently don't like how much stronger those 2 feel than the other talents in their tiers.
