Un-gimping magic procs in dynamis

[Motenten]

My Weapon Skill proc rate was based on Energy Drain usage. I only used Energy Drain if the monster was unprocced, so I could count the number of Energy Drains and the number of resulting procs. Again, though, maybe only 40-50 WSs.

What results did you have for your weaponskill test? (couldn't find a post on that either) My parses on pup have it at ~19%, but those include both real weaponskills and puppet JAs that are counted as weaponskills. Since the rep explicitly stated that weaponskills have higher proc rates than JAs, and JAs are 20%, then that suggests that puppet JAs may have a lower proc rate to balance things out, if your test supported the idea of >20% weaponskill proc rates. On the other hand, random anecdotal posts on weaponskill procs after the change to AOE weaponskills implied they were also somewhere around 20%.

If they are in fact the same 20%, then the rep was given factually incorrect information.

Actually, my proc rate came out at 15%.

Hmm. Interesting. And that was with Energy Drain? I wonder if weaponskill proc rate chance scales with damage? Energy Drain would do 0 damage, so 15% would be the minimum rate if that were the case. I do find that using Smite or Exenterator after time changes from JA to WS has a decently high rate of proc'ing a mob. Anecdotally, I would certainly consider it better than 15%. And of course my pup parses have been consistently around 19%, pushing 20% if you factor out puppet actions after a mob has been staggered. (example sample size: 71/370)

And of course that also leads me back to wondering if spell damage (for the spells that do damage) matters as well. If that were the case, spamming Dia would obviously give you the lowest possible proc rate, since it does around 0 to 5 damage. I'll try to control for that when I do the test.
