Your english is perfectly understandable...The way I understand this is that it will move to the way melee procs are handled. This is how melee procs work:If a proc has 30 % chance of going off in melee, this means PER 3 seconds. If you swing only one time in that 3 seconds, you have a 30 % chance of proccing. If, however, you swing twice.. the probability drops per swing to roughly 18.4 %, giving you 30 % chance of proccing OVERALL during that 3 second time period. Calculations are similar for 3 swings, 4 swings, 5 swings, etc., reducing the % per swing but keeping the OVERALL chance at 30 % for that 3 second time period. If you do less swings, the % per swing goes up to keep it the same.This, as I understand it will be what happens with spell procs. Spell procs mean "This spell has an X chance of going off when >TARGET< casts a spell."[EDIT & PS]For you math-type geeks, I based the #'s on a binomial distribution, "solve for p" :.3 = (n choose 1) * p * (1 - p)^(n - 1)Where n is the # of swings. .3 = chance of procing once in n trials.<p>Message Edited by Serendia on <span class=date_text>04-26-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:59 AM</span>
