Sword of Runes procrate Wrong
 

First of all let me say i was one of the people that was involved in Getting the sword to proc on all mob types ( because it was indeed classic ) So dont hate, I just want things to be correct.

The proc rate on sword of runes seems to be wrong, there are reports all over the place about groups giving pet weapons and pets procing 20-30 times a minute.

This would be correct if it was 2006, when the procrate was added.

What the procrate mod was before is unclear but It was probabally zero. I am currently looking for more information, while I play, so It may take some time, but this needs to be looked at as folks are doing some crazy things because of this huge dps.


Found this as well from casters realm which has a comment:

"Even so, I heard the Sword's effect rarely proc's"

It was definatally not procing like this on P99.

Reserving 2nd post for more findings


Does anyone know how to get Lucy to show up in waybackmachine? Its bringing me to a blank page asking for cookies. That would settle this. It should show the correct proc rate if you find a link from 2004 or 2005

Similar situation with the Bonethunder Staff. Original staff did not have a proc rate mod, but when ward undead was nerfed into a 12 point DD trainer type spell, Bonethunder staff was given a HUGE proc rate mod to compensate for the ward undead nerf (this was all post Planes of Power). And we all know how insane the proc rate on Bonethunder staff is here right?

Sounds like Sword of Runes has a similar problem.

Just noticed that Ward Summoned was also turned into a 12 point "train up evoc" type spell after Planes of Power, just like Ward Undead, which explains the need to add proc rate mods to both weapons.

People are abusing this, not reporting , and getting loots and exp they shouldnt, it need to be hotfixed. 1 ( one ) mage pet can do upwards of 500 damage a minute to nagafen with the procs alone.


The whole, " Well I didnt know it shouldnt proc this much" , " I didnt know it was a Kunark Spell " Crap needs to end. Stop sploiting this crap and bug report it.

In case you didnt notice, ignorance didnt help the fellow with " didnt know it was too much exp" on a classic quest he used in kunark to lvl 51-53 in minutes.

They deleved him.

Fixed procrate on sword of runes and bonethunder staff, pending update.

what about the issue of them swords procing an ALL mobs right now ? they are only supposed to proc on summoned creatures. lvl 50 players on red99 exploiting left and right on the server and they killed naggy unlegit with this bug

You use the words exploit, bug, and unlegit.

But, what you mean is, you disagree with the classic mechanics of npcs proccing sword of runes on non-summoned npcs.

That is an entirely separate discussion. Go, discuss. There are threads. If you can't find one; make it.

The developers will do what they can. What they decide is best, period.

Or the issue with the -30 modifier applying to all mobs instead of only Summoned types? This is a violation of game mechanics, and if I had a mage, I'd be able to provide more data, but unfortunately must leave that to others.
