What does Tolapumj's Robe do for a caster?

[fastboy21]

most folks who wear the robe (as compared to giving it to a pet, or equipping it when you plan to melee) simply use it for the stats, which are pretty good.

My 2 cents... Some caster class(es) have weapons that can proc some pretty amazing DD/etc spells. So haste items could make them into proc machines.

I've heard tales of runed enchanters using proc weapons to do dps.

Tola robe + silent star staff + vog + boon is pretty tight

Ya, procs happen per min (based on dex) no matter the weapon (of the ones I used). The off hand procs EXACTLY 1/2 of the mainhand, no matter.

Still, an awesome weapon and a caster isn't that bad of dps compared to nuking and medding and crazy stats/a proc/ full haste definitely could win out long term dps at 60. Plus you still have that mana sitting there at the beginning/from down time.

Oh ya, I forgot I parsed hours and hours of various dex procs. I'll find the notebook and see if I can find a formula. I was worried it's not linear tho, or maybe not even (negative) exponential (as in reducing in effect from dex over time). I'll have to run it thru some Matlab although I might not have enough data, and I'm worried it's a subset of formula's like most stats here (as in more effect pre 100, someother 100-200, etc) of which I'm not gonna crack it w/o more parsing. If you have any real parses (I was doing only 30+ min single mobs with crap weapons and background healers) I'd take it =)

that whole PPM shit is garbage. Just give us the formula ffs

Ok.

At 255 dex (scales down for less dex):
Mainhand: 2 procs per minute
Offhand: 1 proc per minute

And there are no items with proc frequency modifiers; they should all proc with the same frequency, be it a Bonethunder Staff or a Sceptre of Destruction.
And this info does not apply to buff-based procs like Vampiric Embrace or Call of Fire.

And yeah, as people have said, you can just ignore the haste and wear it for the stats; and once you outgrow it, it can be given to charmed pets.
