Summary

Weapons that proc buffs on self are granting double to triple the amount of stats that the buff actually should be giving.

A weapon procs a buff on you and you receive the buff as normal, but then anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds after receiving the buff, you receive additional stats from the same buff proc.

Examples

dark reaver proc (steal strength) unbuffed str: 156
buff proc initally grants 23 str, putting me at 179 str
a few seconds later it grants an additional 43 str (66 str total), putting me at 222 str self buffed
cat o' nine tails (feel like cat) unbuffed agi: 75
buff proc initially grants 18 agi, putting me at 93 agi
a few seconds later it grants an additional 18 agi (36 agi total), putting me at 111 agi

Additional Info

- the initial stats gained, and the extra stats gained are both static values
- the extra stats always come after a proc, no matter what, in 1 seperate application
- the extra stats come randomly between 5-20 seconds after receiving the initlal buff proc
- the extra stats don't appear to be duplicate iterations of the initial buff, but rather the buff re-applys itself (but with a different version of the buff)
- the extra stats last as long as the buff duration itself
- if the mob resists a proc, you do not get the extra stats (since you did not get the initial buff, due to the resist)

Fixed, pending update. (The stats were fine on server prior to this change, though. Only client was bugging out.)

kanras confirmed potential savior of the box (if any of his pro fixes actually get patched)
