<div>From the update notes:</div><div> </div><div>- The proc on the Manacles of Dark Sky will now process less frequently and has a slightly shorter duration.</div><div>Boooo...At least they still look good <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div><div> </div><div>No idea of the time change or % of proc change...I s'pose w/ the # of peeps that have these it was possible to perma stifle some mobs...not fair, but it sure was fun.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>

<div></div><p><em>Yup. Perma-stifling was easy and often.</em></p><p><em>Many fights I'd hover my mouse over Silent Palm waiting to use it once the proc from the manacles wore off, but they would immediately proc again... and again... and again...</em></p><p><em>I'd all too often finish my fight not even using SP. :smileyhappy:</em></p>

Sadly, I thought the #'s were worse than that b4..(if you had asked, I woulda said a 4% chance to proc for 6 secs)So I'm not upset <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Got my manacles yesterday and was amazed that the proc icon was up pretty much nonstop. Nice to be sure, but a bit much.</div><div> </div><div>Still love them <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>

<div></div>Yeah, this is one nerf I don't really have a problem with. The manacles proc'd so constantly my arms were getting tired from casting the spell. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I don't think items are meant to proc quite *that* often, and we do after all have quite a bit of haste to counter a lower proc rate. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
