Static Discharge - Not triggering at promised rate

Post by Meowakin » May 4th, 2021, 10:16 pm

As I am understanding the 'new' Static Discharge I/II/III, the chance to proc an extra bolt of damage is 25/33/50% for 1-2/2-4/4-8 damage.

I felt like this was triggering much less than 1 in 2 spells with my Static Discharge III so I counted triggers of this ability.

Out of 50 lightnings casted, I saw 11 out of 50 triggers (close to 25%)

Out of 10 e-bolts casted, I saw 1 out of 10 triggers (10%?!)

I can keep collecting data if asked, but these are so far off from 1 in 2 (50%) that I can't help but already be convinced that something is off here.

I will note that the first lightning test was against various critters including 1-shot mobs, but I have noticed that Static Discharge hits before even lightning does.

Performed another test on a boar (nice and slow, beefy):

Out of 25 lightnings cased, I saw 6 out of 25 triggers (close to 25%)

This has been fixed and updated to an easier to read % in the code. Will be live on next update. The rates are 20%, 33% and 50% for level 1, 2 and 3.
