Thanx for the -rep for this post shows that I bothered you.

Sounds like fun, wish I played on this server. :P

I don't think guards would be all that bad, takes a few procs and dps from the other toon to take down 1k hp barb.

1K HP's?

Thats 2 extra swings or .6 Crit swing.


And BTW - Guards are annoying and unfair in a Melee PvP Arena.

Dust II's because they seem to be around a 3.15% proc rate to do approximately 450 points of untyped damage. The proc rate vs damage amount is too overpowered. Now before I get the whole well what about lightning II's. This isn't a comparsion thread. Their proc rate is a good 1% lower and lightning damage can be migrated to hit for mid 400's.

Uhh, where are you pulling this info from exactly?

Dust seems to proc the same as anything else.

[Loromir]

So....Who Won?

Doesn't. I have both Dust II's and Lightning II's. The Dust II's are a 1% higher. I've spent plenty of time testing these. If you don't believe me you're welcome to use your larges to see for yourself.

yeah?...or did you all get delayed blast fireballed at the beginning of the competition?

Wowza! You have Dust & Lit weapons!! Holy smokes!!!!

*cough*

I was just curious where your info was coming from - you know, whether it was a legit source with some documented actual numbers or just the old "it feels like it procs more to me!". You answered my question, so thanks.

For the record, I happen to also sport the "it feel like it procs more" excuse, yet every time I go to test and record proc rates, it inevitably falls in the same range as everything else.

Edit: I just remembered who you were -- the same guy that claimed Dust was a 4% proc rate (lol) after "6 months of solid 100% testing". Why'd you drop your new rate down to only 1% higher now?

I still don't think the guards go off that often, and with 5 rounds. Probaly would die from 1 swing after 2 procs, dead from 3, and if only 1 proc.... unless they hit for 200 a swing against heavy fort, I think my toon will last long enough to throw down a trip or stunning blow to conserve Hp. But tons of variables against surviving if any of the guards proc for their 500+ damage.

Would be fun to see what would happen. Personally I am saddened by the low proc rates. It occurs just enough to surpise me while leveling, to watch a pile of mobs attack, and for ONLY one to get struck down. .... Wish there was a chain lightening guard.....even if the proc was 0.001 percent and was a triple shard ..... the fun I would have in dragging entire wilderness instances.

Edit: I mostly pvp when i'm very bored, so I understand that I lack knowledge, and have only a limited base for pvp experience, considering it is casual in this game.

Came out to 3.25% .

Edit: You're more then welcome to believe some website or two might say. Or even what someone in accordance to a website will say about it. But you'd just never know until you see for yourself. Alot of the information we've seen written out in regards to crafting procs and what not can be false and misleading.

If only other people besides yourself actually had dust weapons too

3.25% is a pretty odd number to claim. And I agree with you in regards to not believing everything you read...but website sources are still more convincing than one guy making a single (and fluxuating) claim. So where are your numbers? Did you ever followup and post the video/tests?

Even in my smallest test with 50 procs (which was in another thread you posted), I came to 2.6%. Follow ups with 100 proc tests averaged closer to 2%. So again, where are your numbers?

[unscythe]

A guildie of mines.... enjoys......*gag*....to test stuff. So he did over a thousand swings/tests ... maybe more ...... but found the lit 2 to proc under 2%.

Just here to mess with all your numbers. :P Makes me sad that its such a low proc rate.

I could bother him sometimes if you guys care for an exact number of tests, and the resulting percentage. Atleast it will narrow down the range.

Hehe, a thousand swings is nothing when dealing with a proc rate of 2%. Now if he did 1000 procs, kudos to him....not only is that a good base to extrapolate from, but I personally start falling asleep around 75 procs.

Luckily dust is easy to test, since you can just wack portals.
