You just contradicted yourself. If procs are based on how many times a weapon will proc per minute irregardless of delay, then why would you slow yourself.

I'm sticking with there is a small chance per swing. There is no mythical timer that resets each time I proc. I've procced 6 times in a minute, and I've procced 0 times in a minute.

You got me!

In seriousness though, what i'm saying I believe is correct based on my experience. Sometimes the game just hates you and your weapon wont proc for awhile (people with the OT hammer know this frustration).

But I slow myself because every swing I do make has a much greater chance to proc than if I did not slow myself due to the PPM set for each weapon. Of course, im slowed, so I swing once every 10 seconds or so, but it makes it so theres a better chance I get a proc right away.

I hope this makes sense.

Sorry for being argumentative, I will admit I am wrong. Thanks for the input guys, I really do appreciate it!

Yeah, I can see how it'd increase the chance to get a proc on the first swing - but I think that's the only difference. Interesting how so much of this is what we believe in our heads to be true, and not what is really happening in front of us. But we've all been in the position of wailing on Sergeant Slate for minutes on end without a proc, right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Slowing yourself before using the OT hammer works because even though the PPM is the same, you get your procs earlier in the minute.
