when do you most often get desperate and try to get things going by swapping the weapon in and out? When you have gone a long time without a proc

Not true.

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

Varren is right, this doesn't make any sense. Going without a proc for a long time does not mean that a proc is any more likely.

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.

Each random event is independent of what came before. Consider the coin toss.

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

However, I firmly believe that it's just confirmation bias and there is no actual effect.

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

I've always had good results taking my pants off

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

I always proc after I start complaining about lack of proc

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.

I find '(redacted) sold me another goddam broken hammer' usually does the trick.

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.
