Spirit ability Procs w/ Axe?
I run spirit spec but don’t use an axe. It ’feels’ like they proc on bounces too just from observation of my allies. But as I’m not them I don’t know if they have something else unrelated to my spirits causing the effects.
A way to test would probably be to set your pet on passive and throw some axes at a group of mobs with a sun spirit out, and keep an eye out for any mobs besides your main target catching fire. Or have a stone spirit out and keep an eye out for what target your axe is hitting when the protection procs.
I think there’s even some golems in heart of the mists that are perfect for this, if you don’t mind using your PvP set to test.
