Let's say you're wielding a 10/30 weapon in each hand. That means you swing every 3 seconds. That means you swing how many times per minute? 20.

Let's say you have 85 dex, so 1 proc per minute mainhand. Divide 1 proc per minute by 20 swings per minute and you get 0.05 procs per swing; in other words, 5% chance to proc per swing.

Each time you swing your mainhand weapon, you have 5% chance to proc.
Each time you swing your offhand weapon, you have a 2.5% chance to proc.

So...don't mix up dual wield chance with this. It's just a percentage that is applied every time you swing. And remember, you might still proc three times in a row!! It's just probability!


HOWEVER, if you get slowed, let's say by 50%, now you're gonna swing half as much...but you'll still have the same procs-per-minute...so now you'll proc twice as much per swing. 10% chance to proc on each mainhand swing, 5% chance to proc on each offhand swing. See what I mean?
i understand the distinction between procs per minute and procs per swing and how the game normalizes delay such that your proc per minute is constant (either haste or slow).

what i am saying is that, your secondary weapon swings less frequently than your mainhand and as a result the procs per minute of the secondary weapon is less than that of your mainhand. log data for hours of fighting green cons on a 60 warrior with two different procing weapons shows the frequency of the secondary weapons proc was ~54% of the primary weapons proc. based on the formula for dual wield chance on a 60 warrior, it calculates as ~50% chance.
