I was wondering recently, this bug report is indicative of a larger problem: It's not just VS' tap that should proc on ripostes / bashes, it's all innate NPC procs, right? To further substantiate this, we need to pull more encounter logs from the proper time period.

For example, Lhranc procs a harm touch, doesn't he? We should examine his era-appropriate logs to see if he procs it on bashes/ripostes. I remember him wiping a 40 man raid one time, he was a total beast (granted we were scrubs with an average level of 55).

Would like to see logs from the past as well as the present. The change should likely encompass all npc procs, not just that of VS.

Good research pasi.

VS also has been noted as having special threat rules regarding rune casts... I know that this rule existed but I'd hafta research the specifics.

If they existed I don't think they were common knowledge. Where's that info from?

[Nirgon]

Best I got on it right now, but I do recall this:

VS has special aggro rules where Rune V does not pull very much aggro at all; Good thing too, as it would make him exponentially more difficult if this was not the case.

Remember... the item recharge bug (hi2u mallets) was not widely known back in the day, nor were people tackling him on the regular with epics/VP weps.

I'm unsure of how the code works now but certain NPC's will need higher percentages for proc rates (So VS/Lhranc would proc on almost every successful attack).

Would this be determined by raising the NPC's dexterity?

Or is procs per minute capped at 2.0 for NPC's greater than 255 dex?

[koros]

Someone should hand VS a proccing weapon on eqmac and see if he procs it at the same rate as deadly lifetap. I have a feeling innate procs go off at a much higher rate.

[koros]

Or maybe it's just the case that many mobs with innate procs happen to have extremely high dex.

I do recall ghouls perma rooting people (leveling up in oasis while beating them down, perma root whole fight). Doesn't seem frequent enough here? This'd solve that too!

I can scale an npc's proc chance % from 0-100.

It [deadly lifetap] is currently at 36% on each swing for VS.
