I posted this over on the official forums, but decided I should probably post it over here as well, as those class subforums don't get as much love as these seem to:
Not sure if anybody can answer this with 100% certainty, but I figured I'd ask anyway.
I'm just curious if anybody knows how the damage is applied, as the tooltip in the calculator (both in game [beta] and on this site) is pretty vague:
"The vortex of air lasts 5 seconds and deals 15% weapon damage to all enemies within 10 yards."
My question is, is it 15% weapon damage per second (so 75% total) or total (so 3% per second)?
Since I've already got you here and you've been helpful already Any idea if the Fists of Fury effect of Way of the Hundred Fists is only activated on the third hit or any of the three? Its wording is vague as well XD
Yeah, my original assumption was any hit too...hopefully that is the case lol.
I was messing around and came up with a pretty crazy looking combination strike build using hundred fists, exploding palm, and sweeping wind and making the rotation was MUCH easier if any hit from hundred fist procs the fists of fury dot.
since this thread is about sweeping wind I'll aska few questions of my own :-)
1) post patch 15 (as mentioned in the unofficial notes) does sweeping wind now a SPENDOR instead of generator ?
2) based on same notes , can you activate SW right of the bat and use a mellee generator to refresh SW and build its stacks without the need to recast it ?
3) assuming the answer to the last question is yes and you decide to choose inner storm for the +spirit , does as long as you hit with a mellee generator you gain 9 (6 base for the generator and 3 for the inner storm rune) spirit ?
and one last question (not SW related) , does the game have health potions/rejuv and do they have a CD like WoW does ?

thanks for your info
Yes to questions 1 and 2 and the health potion question.
As to question 3, Inner Storm generates 3 Spirit per second when the SW buff is at max stack. It doesn't actually have anything to do with how often you hit with your other generators, so it's not as simple to say you'll get 9 Spirit from your generators instead of 6. But...the spirit of your assumption is correct in that you'll generate more Spirit more quickly with the Inner Storm buff.
