Feral Rage Question

[Stomphoof]

Its a pretty simple question actually. I am pretty sure I read somewhere that Feral Rage only gives Lifesteal as long as you are using it as your attack.

My question is this: Is that correct? Or can I get 3 charges on Feral Rage, then switch to say Fury and use that for massive Lifesteal and Damage?

Or will I have to use Feral Rage to get the Lifesteal even if I already have the 3 charges?

When you charge up and switch to another attack, you'll only receive the bonus of life stealing, not the extra damage and AR. The life steal properties stay with you as long as you've got the spinning ball around you, and works with all other melee attacks/skills in wolf form.

You can charge up Feral Rage, then mess around with Fury, then before the 20 seconds is up quickly switch back to Feral Rage to refresh it, then back to Fury or whatever. You can keep it up for minutes on end this way, as long as you have targets to keep you refreshed.

Cool! Thats what I was curious about. So basically, against a boss, I could go Feral Rage, Feral Rage, Feral Rage (for 3 charges), the Fury, Fury, Fury, Rage, Fury, Fury, Fury, Rage ect and keep the lifesteal constant! Nice!

Not to be overlooked for a character that's hoofing it everywhere without teleport is that it also adds a huge boost to run/walk speed. I usually always have Feral Rage charged in PvM, even if I don't need the leech, because I hate walking or running slow!
