Not true.

Everquest is about consistency, I either do it the entire time, or I don't do it at all.

Of course not. But it makes you *feel* like you are, and so when it happens you get confirmation bias.

Ok, Jeff is an exception, so noted. Hey everybody - Jeff is consistent. All or nothing, that's Jeff.

Yes, I know. I'm talking about human perception, not math.

See that ^ part? The part where I said it has no actual effect?

Wish I was as lucky as you when I take my pants off it's like I cast an AOE fear

This right here. Inevitablly it's as I'm typing "sorry stupid hammer out of charges", or something along those lines, and it procs mid sentence.

You described a situation that doesn't happen.

Well idk about p99 but according to EQEmu source (which p99 came from) there is no higher chance to proc the first time you swing a weapon.

Take a look at TryWeaponProc, ExecWeaponProc, GetProcChances in zone/attack.cpp there is nothing keeping track of whether or not its a weapons first swing.
