The description of Mantis bolt is that on a successful hit this spell has a chance to proc. You will have 24% if you put 8 points on it. Based on description "successful hit", it should proc on both auto-attack and combat arts as long as it is hit. However, By my parse, the proc rate is roughly only 10% without counting my combat arts. After checking my log one by one, mantis never proc after my off-hand hit. I wonder that's why the total proc rate is so low. I would like to know if any monk has the same situation. If it is bugged, let's report it.

<p>this USED to proc heaps for me. but now im hardly seeing it at all. :/. im beginning to contemplate speccing out of it completely. going for the Wis Line instead. could be fun <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </p><p>how is mantis bolt working for the rest of you? Iäm honestly not seeing anywhere near 24% proc rate. it shoudl be going off 1once every 2 seconds at .8 delay dw. ill test it again later today. </p><p>have any of you gona down the wisdom line? </p>

Keep in mind that proc rates are scaled to weapon delay and Mantis Bolt is no different. The base rate is scaled to a 3.0s delay weapon, so if you are using a 1.6s delay weapon, the rate is only 12.8% ... pretty close to the 10% you are seeing. Procs also will not proc on off-hand hits. This is an attempt to balance DW versus 2-handers. You cannot get additional procs from a second weapon. The procs per minute will scale with haste, although the proc % will not.

they took out the true % chance procs. This ability procs roughly 5 times a minute now. If you are using a slow weapon it will have a higher % proc rate than a really fast one. it ends up being around 50-75 dps on a raid when you are in offensive stance, much less when you are solo.
