Game Mechanics: NPCs should not innate proc on miss, riposte, etc.

[Ravhin]

On p1999, NPCs have the ability to innately proc on a swing with which they miss, or which the PC ripostes, dodges, etc.

For example, Spiroc Lord innately procs StoneSpiderStun even on swings which do not hit.

The proof:

In classic, on live, "NPC innate procs only go off if the NPC does not miss and isn't blocked, dodged, etc. - Kavhok, SOE"

Another, "Avoiding hits means:
-less chance for mob procs (since NPC's only proc on hits) "
