About SMN/SCH's Bane

[Eul]

We have new effect of bane that 15% refresh the DoT. But when I tried to do another bane I don't see any refreshed DoT until now. Is anyone see DoT refreshed with bane?

[Frost_Tear]

Well that's a 15% chance that the refresh will trigger it's not guaranteed blegh RNG.

[Derio]

15% chance it will refresh. Which means there is an 85% chance that it will not refresh however most people cast Bane after they place the intial DoTs so I doubt 5 seconds is going to kill your DPS because the 85% chance means most of the time the refresh will not trigger.

I've seen it happen when I baned something that was low duration without paying attention.

Not really something worth paying attention to though.

[Zari]

It has probably happened to me plenty of times. I just don't notice because it isnt really something worth looking for/paying attention to. As SMN and SCH you will generally be using bane right after the initial application of DoTs so it doesnt make much of a difference if it procs anyways

[Eul]

After I tried on dummy, it did refresh on the target who got bane (not the enemy who you target to bane) and refreshed only 1 time, can't refresh it if you put another bane. The RNG is strong too.

Why would anyone cast bane twice in a row ._. waste of stacks.

By the way: That's not a new effect. It was there when I started playing, two years ago.

Refresh effect is not new, but has been a trait of the skill since launch. It also only works on a mob by mob basis, so some may get it whilst others wont. Besides, as others said, you don't rely on that trait for Bane anyway.

15% isn't near high enough to warrant relying on. It's just a bonus. The way I look at it, 99% = 0%
