Actually, All 3 Hits are "Tripled' not the second and third hit (That information is massively outdated)

I know it won't change the math much, But all 3 Hits of the Triple Attack do Triple Damage.

Um... I didn't actually look stuff up, that was just my observation. I've seen it proc a lot so far and never seen three hits with high damage, always only two. Does it hide the third hit? I know I read somewhere it's only 2/3 hits, now I looked on wiki people saying 3/3 hits. I've never seen this happen before myself. Is that related to the missing offhand hit?

edit: Are you taking into account the adjusted proc rate of the Set bonus due to having 2 weapons (Dual wield) In which Triple attack can proc? Set Bonus can Proc Main or Off hand. That Essentially Doubles its possible activation rate yes :O?

It doesn't matter, it's still only 35% activation rate. Whether looking at each hand, or combined, only thing that matters is the number of total hits.

Assuming 100 total hits (single): 35%*100hits = 35hits
Assuming 50 hits with each hand: 35%*50hits + 35%*50hits = 35%*100hits = 35hits

So the same number of hits are candidates for the Triple Attack augment.

I still wanna recalculate with 3/3 hit activation (300% damage, so 200% bonus):

1st option:
108hits + 1.89hits*200% = 111.8hits

2nd option:
100hits + 3.5hits*200% = 107hits

So only 4.8% better instead of 5.5%, and still not accounting for any haste and other stuff, that would all count towards the 1st option without full AF3+2.

Thats an Image of me procing THF Set Bonus on Sneak attack. So its proof 3/3, at least?

As far as Hiding third hit no. You may have just not been paying attention, Or Theres also the possibility that you need a certain number of pieces for it to work on all 3?

it would be interesting to test if you need a certain number of Pieces equipped for the Bonus to apply to all 3 hits.

Cause i DO recall that on the very first test ever done (I think with only 2/5 pieces) the picture clearly showed 2/3 Hits Proccing Set Bonus. So it could very well have just been a glitch, Or perhaps you do need more than a certain number of pieces.

Either Way, I don't think it'd favor 5/5 Enough to be worth redoing the math, As I don't think it would edge out a 4/5 Set. I'll still continue gimping myself and keep on my 5/5+2 and 24% Haste set up :|, But likely keep it to myself. I enjoy it, But I Know its mathematically futile.
