The "Vorpal" Type Abilities on Items and Chance to Proc

[GrampaBill]

For some item effects such as Nightmares, the chance for the ability to proc is spelled out very clearly as requiring a vorpal hit. But on other affects such as Magma, Disintegration, Icy Prison, etcetera, the ability to proc is "occasionally".

Has there been any analysis as to what "occasionally" equates to as a percentage?

"Occasionally" seems to be a catch-all term for effects that proc between zero and five percent but the exact number varies. People have done tests and posted them on ddowiki.com. That's where I go for the specifics on Lightning Strike (http://ddowiki.com/page/Lightning_Strike), Magma Surge (http://ddowiki.com/page/Magma_Surge), or some other "occasional" effect.

Thank you. I guess I just looked at the wrong terms when I searched the wiki.

And for a handy reference, here's all of the currently cataloged enhancements:

Looks like there's some work to be done to update it with all of U14's new enhancements.

The typical guideline is 2%. For specifics, have to check the wiki, or, for the new items.. well, as you said.
We're working on it ;)

their description of Magma Surge is incorrect, the damage portion may indeed be 2%, but i suspect it is more like 5%. The Slow portion however, seems to proc about 50% of swings and has a very high save... magma is abysmal for DPS, but very very good for cutting incoming damage.
