When I first got call of storms I bought the master and immediately sunk 5 AA's into it. Like many I am sure I was very disappointed at how seldom it hit.  (it is understandable why the resist is the way it is after all if every wave hit on the max 8 mobs with votex up and 35% critical.... . fury be king of aoe dps at somewhere around 10k to 15k dam per sec. anyhow enough fantasying sigh)  So after using it  a few  times and such poor results I respeced and used the AA's elsewhere.Out of curiosity as I had not done so b4 I tried call of storms now the aa bonus was gone and to my surprise it seemed to hit way more often. Hmmmm I think to myself maybe was just the fact I tried on different mobs. So when I got a few more spare aa's I started to stick back into cos one at a time once more. But once again I seemed to me that it was resisted more frequently for every aa I used. So planning on another respec this time I choose one type of mob for b4 and after test, mind you the b4 was with 3 aa.So having picked the mob (single mob not grouped) I blasted away on average it hit maybe 2 to 3 times, which for power cost is pretty sucky. Then I did the respec no aa's into cos and I attacked same mob again this time the results where different cos was now hitting 5 to 6 times. While at this time I cant say for sure cos is bugged I was wondering if any other fury had done as I and seen a change, with aa and without. As soon as I can find a fury with 5 aa into cos I will have both of us attack same mob at same time and count up hits. Unfortunately the time of night I play few are on and I have as of yet found one with time to do experiment with me.On a different  if  you ever group with some wizard who likes to parse at how much dam they can do it fun to show them up with sol ro super nuke blessing. Heh seems like about the time I get lucky and it goes off as critical so far the highest I have gotten is 24k. Yeh I know they can way out dam us but with the eof aa line we are no slouches either. I get tired sometimes of others thinking of furys as only healers when personally I think fury is just as  good now at dps especially with master spells and aa into all damage trees.

Call of storms sucks... if they made it a "rotos caster in place" instead of a "stuns caster" it would have been awesome.Anyways back to the bug - where they the same mob, level mob type?

I don't notice a ton of resists like I seemed to get with my AA tree specced to it...Only thing I miss from the AAs was how fast I could run through the whole spell, essentially between casts of our single target dd lightning spell.

Yes was same level mob and type. I really need to cast side by side with another fury. If I am wrong I am wrong but man it sure felt like it seldom with aa. Actually I find right now even among different mobs grouped or not grouped ones it hits for an avg of 5 times. If it group mobs together I got 10 hits or again 5 each which put call of storms I suspect to hit around a third of the time. Now while this one thought may no longer be the case I know at one time spells and or melee hits could not be faster than once a second due to fact server would not process right.Now if that still the case it explain what happening cause the bolts at 5 aa happen way faster than once a second. On one hand I hope I am wrong but on the other hand if  this is  true maybe they will do something to make work better.

<p>As its fairly random you would have to do it more than 100 times with each aa setting to get a base for comparison.. Doing it 3, or even 10 times and say its twice as good without aa says nothing...</p>
