Mark of the Crane Management
Your
Tigerklaue,
Blackout-Tritt, and
Tritt der aufgehenden Sonne spells apply Mark of the Crane to the target they damage. This increases the damage of your
Wirbelnder Kranichtritt by 10% per stack. During
Sturm, Erde und Feuer your spirits will jump to targets without Mark of the Crane when you cast these aforementioned spells automatically. They will also never jump to your target either. This means you can tag 3 enemies per global spent during
Sturm, Erde und Feuer. In Battle for Azeroth the maximum amount of Mark of the Crane stacks you can have active has been capped at 5. This makes our AoE significantly weaker than Legion but also simpler to manage. You want to maintain as many Mark of the Crane stacks as there are enemies you are fighting making sure to refresh the lower duration debuffs before they fall off.
You want to prioritize
Furorfäuste in AoE but keep in mind
Furorfäuste is a frontal cone so keep an eye on your spirits positioning. You then want to use
Wirbelnder Drachenschlag immediately unless you are trying to perform the SEF Cancel Bug (mentioned later) and will not lose a cast of
Wirbelnder Drachenschlag in that encounter. From that point on you are trying to
Wirbelnder Kranichtritt every other global and use it as a filler in AoE until
Furorfäuste comes off cooldown once again. The target threshold for when you start using
Wirbelnder Kranichtritt over
Tritt der aufgehenden Sonne damage wise is 3 stacks 3 targets or 4 stacks 2 targets. This does not have in mind if there is a priority target you are trying to kill this is just for overall damage.
Here are a few examples of Windwalker AoE:
