Mantis bolt

[okuth0r]

anyone seen it work recently? cant seem to find it in my combat log procing at all... <div></div>

Could it be that you are too close to the mob? After all, it gives a ranged proc and the ranged weapon has a minimum distance... <div></div>

I was under the impression this was a melee proc why would we need a ranged proc?

Hrm.. I'll run a parse on my log and see...

Ran a parser during our Harla Dar run today and had it proc 8 times so it definately still works on melee<div></div>

I merge all my parses over a night of grouping and it amounts to about 1% of my total damage; so it's definitely proccing :smileyvery-happy:

<DIV>How many points do you have into it? Are you the tank or DPS? What level are you? Are all your skills master 1?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Those are very important questions into how usefull mantis bolt is going to be.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At 4 points its only a 15% proc. But at 8 points, its a 24% proc. (not quite double, but i've found that it now does 5x as much)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When i was in my 50's and had 4 points and was tanking, it accounted for 1% of my total dps.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now I have 8 points into it, I tank, I am level 70, and all my skills are adept3+ (only 4 adept3, mostly masters)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It now accounts for 5% of my total dps.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dynamicman out...</DIV>

<P>1%?  Boy if Mantis bolt was 1% of my damage...that would mean...I'm parsing between 4000-6000 DPS every fight.  WOOOOOOO.  Kick [Removed for Content]...</P> <P>But seriously, for me mantis bolt accounts for between 40-60 DPS average for me.  Which depending on buffs on me is roughtly 5-10% of my DPS normally.</P> <P>I'm guessing you are using the same parser that makes bruisers think their offensive stance sucks.  <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Even though it provides roughly the same or more DPS than Mantis Bolt.  Which is much better than the 0% DPS I get from my offensive stance.  <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>And mantis bolt works on bother ranged and melee combat.</P> <P>Regards,</P> <P>Croaker</P>

<DIV>It's actually less than 1%, but it rounds up. My monk's only 55 with 3 points into it right now. Always tanking, 100% haste, and about 400dps. I rarely see mantis bolt go off, but it does occasionally.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I still plan on getting it to 8 tho.</DIV>
