Am I supposed to only spam Windstrike during Ascendance, or am I supposed to weave in Crash Lightning on CD?
I’m by no means an expert, so definitely take this with a grain of salt, but -
I generally keep Windstrike on CD during Ascendance, and if I happen to have a spare GCD with no 10 stacks of Maelstrom or another Windstrike to fill, then I’ll use Crash Lightning. But definitely my assumption has always been Windstrike priority during Ascendance, except when there’s 3+ targets. I guess sorta same as normal if I’m not mistaken, Stormstrike over Crash save for spare GCDs and 3+ targets.
If that’s inaccurate, please do lemme know, but it always felt right to me. Hope that helps!
thanks for your help. i think im only confused now about windstrike. It never has a cd for me. I can always press it all the time during Ascendance. So when do you have those spare GCDs?
I mean, never really. It’s basically always (outside of 3+ targets) better bang for your buck to use Windstrike. Sometimes kooky things happen and you’ll somehow (even with the autofiring bolts) cap on Maelstrom, I usually just fire that off and get back to wearing my Windstrike key out. 3+ targets you want to hit Crash for that lightning damage buff, but outside of that if there’s a reason to not hit Windstrike I don’t know it. Range, no CD, ignores armor, good damage.

About 5 minutes into the video he talks about ascendance windows during different amount of targets, he explains it very clearly with drawings, I’d recommend watching at least that bit
