At this point in TBC Classic, we’ve seen so many changes. For me, it’s difficult to argue that fixing some clear mistakes is going to upset the establishment…
That having been said, could we, perhaps, revisit the issue of Chain Lightning not activating Lightning Overload at the 20% rate that one should expect based on the words of the talent itself?
Blockquote
Gives your Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning spells a 20% chance to cast a second, similar spell on the same target at no additional cost that causes half damage and no threat.
(Proc chance: 20%)
Over the course of every dungeon, raid, or random world-encounter mob throughout the entirety of the expansion; over hundreds of hours of testing, Lightning Overload has never once, EVER, performed to that standard with respect to Chain Lightning during Single Target encounters. Is it unreasonable to ask for this issue to be fixed?

If dragonstrike was how it was supposed to be and they improved it, a change like this shouldn’t be out of the question at all, especially how the LO tooltip reads!

Indeed, this is not a matter of “we felt it was meant to work this way” there is no room for interpretation, the tooltip says it should work like that and it does not, this needs to be fixed.

I’ve been in support of this change since it was discovered that each bounce of CL has a 33% chance to proc LO and the value does not change regardless of # of actual bounces.

Looking back on my logs I’m apparently lucky if it’s a 10% proc rate for CL on bosses over an entire raid night

I also support this change. Frustrating to not have it match tooltip.

It’s kinda crazy that this wasn’t fixed during the beta, especially with all the changes they’ve made to improved other classes.

During the TBC PTR, there was a point where I was casting 100 CL everyday in order to see how often OL would activate. When I saw results significantly under what one would anticipate, I’d put in a bug report stating my position. My bug reports were never acknowledged to any official capacity. Now, we have thousands of logs that can confirm that it doesn’t activate as often as it should. Time to fix it

Yeah I did pretty much the same thing, sad to see 0 recognition of the issue.

having it proc 0 times on most fights is very annoying

Yeah, man. Oftentimes, it’s the un-talent.
