Yes the wiki says its procs per minute, but again thats just someones theory put on a wiki, its not pulled out of code. I think whats really happening is a random % chance, affected by dex and weapon delay.(And to be honest, Im not even sure dex actually is a factor. People assume it, but its kinda hard to tell.) If you parsed 1000 attacks, all you would be seeing is the law of averages, not a set number of procs per minute, and ppm doesnt hold true in practice.

For example, I have gotten like 8 procs in 30 seconds before, and also zero procs for at least a minute. Procs per minute doesnt explain that, but random chance does.

I havent seen anyone else mention this, or suggest it, but I duel wield 2 deadwood staves, without my haste item and I get more procs that way, and I can solo way easier doing that. Ive also tried 1 dws paired with shimmering partisan for the +20 dex. But I get more procs if I dual wield them. They are 28 delay, so technically should produce more procs than 2 blood points. Im not saying dws are better weapons than bp, just that they should proc more, and I dont have 2 bp to test it.

More than just a theory: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=357532

Rogean: Rewrote the Proc Chance formula to more accurately take attack speed into account, to achieve 2 Procs Per Minute given max Dexterity and regardless of attack speed. Dexterity still has a large affect on proc chance. In most cases, this has resulted in a slight increase in chance to proc.

In other words, procs work independently of weapon speed. Everything gets calculated on an expected goal of 2 procs per minute at 255 dex. Lower dex will have a lower total expected procs per minute. Naturally, the fewer swings per minute (higher delay, no haste, slow) means you're more likely to proc on each swing, but it should still average out to max 2 procs per minute.
