While Gathering Storm was only working on Attack 1 from the Auto-Attack sequence as stated in this thread, it now applies to every Auto-Attack.
Hopefully the annotations and stuff turned out okay, I haven't tried to use them before.
Note that I'm using a superb cooldown amulet as well. Solo was started solely for testing and sharing this change.
Laugh as I spend 2 minutes thinking the arcane warrior had clean burn!
Just noticed the 4 brutes attacking you at the same time, I'd probably be pretty annoyed if I was on any other class 
More reason not to use spirit blade. Also... 3+ minutes to clear one area? I realize dogs take longer, but uuuuuugh. This is why I don't SB FS.

I think that's a good change. It was counterintuitive that Gathering Storm didn't apply to all auto-attacks previously.

I was revisiting the build since it the first I ever tried, but I do prefer PoTA FC now that I realize shock+weakened=sleep. I liked the tank of the FS FC build when I was still new to the game, but now it just feels unnecessary. In regards to speed I was only there to toy around with cooldowns and I intentionally died off right after this. I'd play differently if I was just there for completion.

I do like how it now works as listed, though 0.5 seconds might be a bit much now for low CD abilities like chain lighting and the fade evasions. Mages were already quite powerful. I definitely want to mess around with the other mages some more first because making a judgement solely off of the AW just isn't fair. I might be willing to try firestorm again since missing flahspoint won't be as annoying, but that would mean giving up the hilarious fire mine... never! 
elementalist is OP.
and people say im just imagining changes to the game.

According to description, IT WAS suppose to work like that.
no stone fist =n00by AW

I'm aware. Just reporting that they stealth tweaked it. To be fair, they aren't always great at making power descriptions accurate.

I'm willing to try these next promotion. Guessing chain lightning, fade cloak, pull of the abyss, and stone fist? Guessing PoTA/SF to weaken a group, followed by CL to regain mana, followed by SF/PoTA for sleep and repeat?
I'm only at 5 promotions on him and I haven't got around to testing out stone fist on him yet. I use spirit blade less and less the more I play him anyways, so this sounds fun to me.

I tend to play my AW a bit more ranged then use SB when needed-I fully upgrade it. I usually open up with stone fist, it knocks all nearby enemies down.. then lightning.. then if I'm feeling frisky I ice step(upgraded) into the group and most are usually dead.. then you can SB them to death..
great part about SF is it stops the Commander and his two-handed sword of spinning death for a few seconds.

Don't forget static charge. That is required.

Actually the order is FC --> run inside an enemy --> Pota --> CL --> SF --> FC. Adjust as necesssary, but you're spamming FC and weakness for infinite mana, weakness and sleep.
