A lot of people seem to be curious as to what the proc rate of the set is. I've heard anything from 1% to 10%. So, i decided to go out and do some basic testing on the proc rate of 4 of 5 of the set.
Reasons i tested 4/5 only:
*As of now it's impossible to use 5/5 w/o sacrificing either haste or 5 hit build or both, thus i feel at this time it's not worth testing 5/5.
*I don't have +2 hands so i can't test 5/5 anyways!
Few things you should know about the Augments "Double Attack" if you didn't already:
*Has a chance to deal double damage; very similar to Empyrean ODD.
*When it procs, it affects both hits of the double attack:
*Even if the second hit of the double attack does not activate, due to the mob dying, ODD can still occur:
*Even if the first or second hit of a double attack misses, ODD can still occur:
*ODD from set stacks with ODD from Empyrean aftermath:
Now for the actual testing on the proc rate of 4 pieces of Ravager's +2.
Few things that were left constant the duration of the test:
*Total amount of double attack was 32%. pole grip/ravager head +2/ravager gorget/ravager earring/brutal/atheling/ravager legs +2 and the DA job trait.
*Mobs used for test were Crapaudy in Abyssea - La Theine Plateau.
*Crit hit atmas were used to obtain a capped crit hit rate(95%) to easily judge what was an ODD proc, since crits are much easier to distinguish from none crits. Atmas were: RR/GH/DD.
Total number of hits: 1402
Total number of misses: 68
Total number of crits: 1334
Total number of attacks: 1470
Assumed total number of rounds: 1113
Assumed total number of double attacks: 357
Total number of ODD procs observed: 13
Total number of ODD hits landed: 21
ODD proc rate: 3.6%
Actual rate of ODD hits landed in test: 5.9%
Theoretical maximum rate of ODD hits: 7.3%
In summary:
*There were 1470 total attacks recorded and of these attacks 1113 rounds are assumed with a 32% double attack rate.
*357 rounds are assumed double attacks.
*Of these 357 double attack rounds, 13 ODD "procs" were observed.
*26 ODD hits should have occurred, but due to kill-shots and misses, only 21 were observed.
*I would hypothesize that the "proc" rate for 4/5 set bonus would be 3-4%.
*3-4% "proc" rate means double the amount of ODD hits since they're double attacks for a ODD rate of 7-8% on total amount of DA rounds.
*Admittedly, 357 double attacks is a rather low sample size, but i believe it gives us enough of an idea what the ODD rate is.
Things to take away from this:
*Adding the 5th and final piece might grant an extra bonus to the over all rate.
*Ravager set could be lower proc rate than other sets, specifically mnk.
*The most interesting part of this test was ODD procing when the second hit didn't even activate, because the mob had died. Meaning it might be possible to test if ODD from set can proc on WS by doing SAWS on pDIF capped mobs to see if there is a spike in the first hit, because if the same is true as above, ODD should still proc if the second hit from the double attack doesn't activate.
