Has anyone encountered a bug with maul changing to ravage and not applying vicious cycle? Mangle increases the damage of your next cast of maul or raze, and casting maul or raze increases the damage of your next mangle by 15%, stacking up to three times. When maul procs to ravage in the druid of the claw talents, it does not apply the damage buff. This makes the rotation a little weird for stacking the buff so you can do more damage with your mangle. I was just wondering if this was intended and if any other guardians are having the same issue. Thanks so much for any feedback.

Yes OMG I am also experiencing this. After testing, I can confirm that Ravage is consuming stacks of Vicious Cycle for Maul damage but is not generating any stacks of Vicious Cycle for Mangle damage. It is definitely a bug because Ravage should function exactly the same as Maul. And I hope it gets fixed soon because it’s a big damage loss and like you said throws off our rotation.

Has this been fixed yet?
They still have not fixed this as of 3/2/25. Blizzard, why have maul change to ravage and then have multiple ways of empowering mangle through maul if we can’t use it? Vicious Cycle changes the rotation slightly by having us weave in other abilities while we wait for rage to cast a maul for mangle to be empowered. When ravage does not apply the empowerment to mangle it just feels bad because the time we took to weave other abilities and build rage are not being rewarded with the way the rotation should work. I understand it’s a proc based rotation and it would feel so much better if it didn’t feel clunky and hit a road block just because of spells not applying. You have to start the 3’s stack again causing rage to essentially be wasted because you got that maul to proc into ravage. The same problem exists with Raze.
I’ve also reported this in the bug forum. Please get more guardian’s posting as I think it’s a bug! Maul and Raze when empowered to Ravage do not apply Vicious Cycle
