Bolt of Power AA bugged?

[Arkenor]

<DIV>I currently have 6 points in Bolt of Power. Ths should, according to the description, fire off on 30% of all my melee hits.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is not remotely the case for me. In fact it looks more like it's only happening on 5%, and putting the extra points in has been a complete waste of time. Could someone else who has this AA take a look themselves, to see if it's just me somehow, or if theres something seriously awry with what sounded at first hearing like an awesome power.</DIV>

<P>It's a 30% trigger rate...which is normalized over time.  This way slower weapons aren't at an immediate disadvantage over faster weapons when procs are introduced to the equation.  </P> <P> </P>

<DIV>Hmm, I was vaguely aware of the normalisation system, of course. I'm using a battlehammer, speed 1.6. Is there a table somewhere that can show me what my theoretical 30% chance per hit should have been normalised to?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If nothing else, the description of the ability is extremely misleading. Other procs tell you how many times it'll trigger per minute. This one states a flat percentage.</DIV>

The proc rate is just like proc rates have been since LU13; weapon procs are normalized off an assumed 3.0 second delay. As a result, with your 1.6sec delay battlehammer, your chance to proc is actually going to be exactly 16% (1.6/3.0 = .533 * 30 = 16).</div>
