Greetings,
I did some review on the Maelstrom Weapon proc and (Small data pool) shows the following:
I just did a basic AA maelstrom test on 12% haste to get to 10 stacks
1st attempt took 27 seconds to go from 1-10 stacks
2nd attempt took 25 seconds to go from 1-10 stacks
3rd attempt took 44 seconds to go from 1-10 stacks (Odd one out)
4th attempt took 34 seconds to go from 1-10 stacks
5th attempt took 23 seconds to go from 1-10 stacks
My next task is to see how many AA it takes just to go to 10 stacks
1st attempt took Maelstrom went to 9 stacks around 33 and never proc again and the buff fell off (Coding issue?) When buff fell off it was over 50.
2nd attempt took 37 AA to reach 10 stacks of Maelstrom
3rd attempt took 39 AA to reach 10 stacks of Maelstrom
4th attempt took 36 AA to reach 10 stacks of maelstrom
5th attempt took 29 AA to reach 10 stacks of Maelstrom (Odd one out)
Weapon Speed I use is 2.60 for both weapons.
There was an issue with higher than expected procs not working in both examples and that is troubling.
Maelstrom Weapon being RNG is an issue as I saw a few times that Maelstrom would be at 4 and then 6 or 7 and then 9 and then nothing for 10-12 seconds.
Maelstrom weapon just doesn’t proc enough to be as big of a DPS and Healing mechanic in PvP. I think Maelstrom weapon for Enhancement should be every 3rd AA procs one Maelstrom instead, this means more haste, more attack speed from abilities would make Maelstrom better and this would be good for PvP and PvE if they needed to include PvE to add a buff to our spec; if they base it off 2.6 weapon speed so people dont start getting faster attacking weapons to get more maelstrom procs, it would adjust to the weapon speed so faster weapon, more AA to land before a proc would be added.
