Set: Attak occ. varies with wyvern's HP.Follow

Since you've got full +2 already, would it be possible to get you to grab a different polearm to go test proc rates for 3 pieces? I think I speak for most people here that typically in both TP and Jump/WS situations we're all likely to be wearing at least 3 pieces at all times(body/head/feet for TP, body/hands/legs for WS/jump with feet for spirit jump), once anyone got all 5. Testing a random +damage proc with a weapon that already has one is sort of counter productive, I think everyone here is really interested to hear what the proc rate is like.

Been skilling up for a while, staff on Seaboard Vultures...

Primate Staff +1 D: 69 ATK: 464, Food: Pamamas - STR+41 - Full AF3

Averageing low damage, with a lot of consistant damage spikes that appear to be double damage procs, and or greater...

IE:
Amador hits the Seaboard Vulture for 94 points of damage.
Amador hits the Seaboard Vulture for 241 points of damage.
Amador scores a critical hit!
The Seaboard Vulture takes 176 points of damage.
Amador hits the Seaboard Vulture for 88 points of damage.
Amador scores a critical hit!
The Seaboard Vulture takes 429 points of damage.
Amador hits the Seaboard Vulture for 123 points of damage.

This is happening a lot.. it's fairly frequent. I really can't provide a % but, I'd say it's not 10%. These damage spikes are even more noticable with Gungnir from what I saw, possible that the proc rates stack.

Seems to work on WS's as well, Jumps, and Relic Triple D Processing.

Set Bonus Occ. Deals Double Damage? This doesn't seem like an attack boost... but I'll keep checking.

Edit Reason: My staff isn't capped, incase this matters... it's only: 252

You said it is not 10% so 5% probably? And glad to hear that it can proc on WS, tho have you tested it specificly? If you use full swing, it will probably be very obvious when it proc, cuz DA full swing doesn't add too much damage due to the high ftp of the WS.

wow, if it is greater than 10%, it is a huge improvement from having 3 or 4 pieces I think. I have heard that 3 pieces is 1.5% proc rate or something awfully low like that. Would you mind testing with just 3 or 4 pieces? Thank you.

I am planning to do 3/5 on WS that's why I asked. If the bonus is 10%, then I am definitely going to do 5/5. I am 4/5 currently. I suspect TP proc rate and WS proc rate should be the same if it can proc on both, I see no reason that the rate would be different tho.

That's nice wow. I have no idea how ppl tested DRK to be 1.5% with 3 pieces.... I am definitely going to test tonight with 4/5 and see if I get 7%. If that's the case, then we can assume all set bonus based on HP of XX is the same and can proc on WS.

Edit: Unless obviously SE wants to screw DRKs and make it half or 1/3 of the % of other jobs... Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Tested 3/5 drk, it is about 3% in my 500 swings. I would assume 4 pieces is 4% and 5 pieces is 5% unless there is a bonus for having 5. I will test 4/5 later.

That sounds rather broken lol, not exactly sure what the DRK bonus is... but it's possible that it maybe different from what PUP and DRG set bonus is, even if worded the same... maybe it functions differently when an ability is used, or only during certain types of attacks, and or WS exclusive?

Well, Wiki says this: ■Occasionally increases damage in direct proportion to the percentage of current HP. At 100% HP, damage is doubled when triggered, at 50% HP, damage increases by 50%, and so on.

This seems to be % based indeed. However, what I have noticed from DRG, is that as your Wyvern's HP decreases so does the damage you deal...

I believe having your Wyvern out activates the effect at a certain %, however % HP of Wyvern affects how much of your damage is increased.

So, they seem different.

Great, our pets get one shotted all the time on NMs. Useless.

I cant give you the exact numbers, but i was on skype with a drg friend who was checking it on rabbits with jumps and wheeling thrust (cant crit so much better test WS) and was working with him to discern what the damage numbers were telling us. Jumps yes, WS no (so far). Though I cant confirm exactly how many he did. I may go do some testing soon now that I have 5/5 +2 just to confirm and get a sample size. (also he only had 4/5 so my sample can be smaller with 5/5).

But jumps are 100% yes. WS is looking grim unless he just got really unlucky and never saw a proc.

I'd say I've done over 1000 jumps so far since I got full 5/5 and I haven't seen a single proc.
