Does dex affect the chance of spell procs?

[radbeard]

Dex obviously effects the chance of weapon procs, but what about spell procs, such as vampiric embrace?

I've seen conflicting information on these forums as to whether dex has any bearing on spell-based procs or not.

Does somebody here know definitively?

we have a whole wiki and forums to share the information and ask questions about game mechanics. So i'm asking if anybody knows this answer definitively, this response isn't helpful or informative.

How do you think all the information about game mechanics came about in the first place? He gave you a way to find out very easily and simply.

I haven't done any parsing, but I have played my SK a lot with the vampric embrace line and a proc weapon simultaneously. From my experience, vampric embrace seems to proc more often than my weapon most of the time. This leads me to believe it is either on a fixed rate, or it uses dex and has a proc modifier to make it proc more often.

Spell procs are pretty rare on this timeline, so there may not be a wiki page on them. I couldnt find one at least with a quick check. That is why people are suggesting you do your own parsing if you want to know for sure.

Googling "p99 spell proc" came up with this: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=284998 , which suggests it is a fixed rate.

Yep, the issue with the wiki is that it's often the case not exact/correct, I have heard both and I jave no idea which is correct, testing is the way to be sure

You should be stacking dex regardless as an SK to prepare for those sweet epic procs

Agreed. SKs get a LOT of nice procs, so you should be stacking DEX on an SK regardless. I try to tune my gear towards DEX as much as possible. But obviously wait until you start getting some good proc weapons. At your level there isn't really anything worthwhile, so getting STR is going to be the best pair with your Ebon Mace.

Yeah i'm currently geared towards AC, HP, and Strength in approximately that order. I can't really see any very worthwhile proc weapons available to SK that aren't from raids. Frostbite is nice, but not good enough to stop using ebon mace even once I'm high enough to proc it. Wavecrasher is fancy, but my duo partner is a shaman, and i'm not rich. However if dex had affected vampiric embrace (which already procs quite a bit) I'd be pretty interested in gearing for dex because the ratio of hp gain to loss over like an hour is what determines the size of a camp my little duo can hold.

I agree that many of the good proc weapons are raid exclusive, but not all.

1. Earthshaker - good for killing mobs in an aoe fashion. Shamans and Shadowknights do not get a lot of aoe, so this could be useful when farming lower level mobs for something.

2. Deadwood Stave - Since you probably arent getting epic, vp weapons, or sky sword, this is your go to for a direct life drain proc. Could be useful for saving Shaman mana on healing.

3. Jourmeymans Walking Stick - extra MR reduction on the mob, unresistable.

4. Greenmist - Closest thing to your Epic you can get if you are an Iksar, no raiding requited. Helps with healing.

5. Soul Binder - DoT Life tap. Helps with healing.

6. Narandi's Lance - Free DoT with decent damage.

7. Embalmers skinning knife - summons bandages. Great for saving mana on healing while under 50% HP.
