Avast Ye broken.

[SmCaudata]

<div></div>People have posted in the AA forum that Avast Ye doesnt' seem to be proccing at 16% by comparing it will other procs they have on their character.  I would be curious to see if others are experiencing this, or if they have tested it either way.  Still trying to determine what to do with my AA.  I am Wis 4-4-4-8 and working on str line now.  I forgot to use my respec before the patch so I didn't get a new free one so I have one shot at it before I start to pay.  I know since Avast Ye is behind/flanking I will lose some solo ability and damage while tanking. I will also be loosing some defensive ability and a 20 second 300 or so damage attack.  A lot to give up so I want to make sure it is working right.Edit: I changed the title from a question to a statement because I haven't seen anyone step up and say it is workign for them.  I have never respeced and I have a free respec so I may use it so I can /petition and /bug it.   I think it is important that we get this fixed. For all the stuff you give up for the agi line (compared to DPS boost and def boost of other lines) it should be the most DPS since it is positional.  So anyone who has this ability be sure to /bug it.<div></div><p>Message Edited by SmCaudata on <span class=date_text>06-19-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:10 PM</span>

I maxed out avast ye...  It is listed as 16% 492-820 melee damage on target I have longsword of perfection.. which is 5% chance to do 173-289 damage... (Destructive Force) on average my parser says destructive force is about 2% of my dps, and avast ye is 3% of my dps so i would take a GAMBLE and say its very broken <div></div>

<P> </P> <P> </P> <P> From what ive seen Avast does not proc NEARLY enough. Should have a 16% chance right? Well it just doesnt. I've always watched my damage ever since i started raiding back in April 05 and i could tell right from the first couple encounters that it wasnt working correctly ( and yes i was behind the mob) My 5% proc earring procs more then [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] Avast</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> PLEASE FIX THIS SONY <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P><p>Message Edited by Gusta on <span class=date_text>06-19-2006</span> <span class=time_text>04:23 AM</span>

Here is a link to where this is discussed in the AA forum.  I think it may be more likely to get viewed there.  I guess in game /bug may work as well, but every once in a while a dev wanders through and posts about something here.<a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=achievements&message.id=2726" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=achievements&message.id=2726</a>If we poke in there a couple times a day maybe it will stay at the top long enough to see.<div></div>
