Does the Festivul Robe proc on every hit like the Shroud of the Abbot?

I want to say yes, each hit.

But I don't always notice. In fact I would have sworn that the Abbot robe didn't proc each hit.

I'm not sure what the order of operations is, but mine sure procs a bunch. The gain is small, but it's there.

procs every hit but it's currently bugged so that if you switch out/to it, it won't proc at all until the next time you zone. Annoying if you want to switch to regalia for some clicky love etc...

(For the record, I confirm the switching bug back when I got the robe--during the first festival--but have not tested since.)

with Death Aura, does it matter?

Yes it does especially since it does proc on every single physical hit (not magical damage or special effects from weapons). Death Aura heals every 2 seconds for an average of 20-30 (depending on your mastery, potency, PM enhancements etc). Even if you get hit once in this time frame that is a 30% increase of Death Aura potency. If you get hit more then it is even more powerful.

I do not consider this ability as a heal per second...I prefer to see it as a DR 8/- cause that is what it is effectively.

One example of usefulness: Ghosts of Perdition and Litany undead beholder fights. It's cool to get hp while in anti-magic field.

Stackable DR at that too

I've got a few more pieces of gear to grind for me "hitting me is the wrong idea" gear set. It isn't all damage-based like bendover's - they all improve / benefit my pale master.

One thing though - make sure to be diligent and get into undead form quick after shrining. I've been running a bunch of "lots of little attacks coming in" grindy quests during the loot boost and you die very quickly when your death aura isn't healing you and your boon to undeath is killing you ...
