Default Tranquil Staff (One Hundred Blows)

I know you guys have moved a thread regarding this into "Resolved Issues," but the proc is definitely not acting like it did on Live and I would appreciate maybe a second glance at this issue?

Currently, there is virtually no stun. I camped Jade Prod last night and didn't notice a single One Hundred Blows proc that would stun the level 15-30 mobs (I'm 60) for more than a brief instant. There are many accounts of One Hundred Blows lasting between 1-2 ticks, or up to 12 seconds. Now, you claim this is "working as intended" but in 8+ hours at this Jade Prod camp, not once did the proc stun a mob 30-40 levels lower than me for more than 3 seconds.
---------------------------------------------

Here is my latest post in the "resolved issues thread:"

I will try to acquire some solid information/proof on this subject via Google-Fu and the wayback machine in short order..

Currently, as has been started many times over, the One Hundred Blows proc on this Tranquil Staff is not acting like it did on Live. I've yet to see it stun a mob for any measurable portion of time while continuing to attack it after the proc. It almost seems like this proc is working exactly like "Whirl till you Hurl" (recently nerfed by breaking upon damage). Are these two effects sharing some code of some sort?

-Minor evidence of proc supposed to last 1-2 ticks (up to 12 seconds)

-Some more anecdotal evidence of peoples experience with One Hundred Blows proc, (ctrl+f, search proc)

+"The DD part of the Proc always happens, the Stun though still not stun Unstunnable Mobs. The Consensus on Monkly Business seems to be that the Stun Lasts for 3 6 or 12 seconds, depending on the mob's level. If you Duel with it it tends to stun other toons for 12."
+"This thing hurts in pvp, when my druid was lvl 49 er so i had a lvl 53 monk beeting on me with this, he procced once then again about 6 seconds later, needless to say a druid stunned for 18seconds against a monk with a weapon ratio like this isnt good"


In my experience in getting smacked with it in a duel...I get proc'd on, get the "One Hundred Blows" debuff/proc icon on my buff window, and am able to freely move around and attack while it is still "active" in my buff window. I didn't notice a stun whatsoever. You are supposed to literally spin in place. Probably would have been a different story if I was mid-cast, but alas, merely interrupting spells wasn't the great thing about this item.
