PVP IO proc rate buggy?

sounds like the rng hates you sometimes. try it for a couple of days and then see what happens. 1 mission is not enough to really tell.

I used the io for a few days. I didn't see any large change in the behaviour of it. I ended up respec'ing and dumping it on the market. Someone else can have it. |

I don't have the numbers on the other missions, but I was checking the combat log after every mission and seeing everything else proc'ing ~3-5 times more than the pvp io was. So to me, it seemed useless to keep it. I just stuck a acc/slow hami-o in it's place for now.But I was just wondering if the issue was with hotfeet? I do have a /spines scrapper that could also slot the io, and I do have another chance for -res io but haven't slot it yet on him. These would seriously kick butt for my spines/dark scrapper, but not if I get the amount of use I got when my fire/kin slotted it. lol.
Maybe the rng does hate me. lol. But it seems to like the other proc's just fine...
How quickly are they dying?
Procs in a toggle are rolled once every 10 seconds. It could just be that you're combining:
1) Unlucky rolls
2) They're usually dying before the next set of rolls comes up
Are you monitoring the correct channel? Several of the procs send their message in the Healing delivered-channel - I have this slotted myself and I see it go off regularly on that tab. I use it in a click-power, but it doesn't seem bugged to me.

I was monitoring the combat tab. I can see when my other proc's fire off as like "You blast whoever for 58.6 points of bonus energy damage" etc. This proc effect shows as a green text, so is easy to search for in the combat channel. I never changed the channel in a tab or anything, but I just went through looking for those green entries, and there were not many. I did take a detailed look though checking which proc's were firing etc, when I was thinking something was wrong, however.|

As to the other poster about how quickly they were dying, well ya, they do kinda die a bit fast on 0 x 8. But I did a few runs on +4 x 8, and those mobs solo even with 300% damage bonus with Fulcrum Shift stick around long enough for hotfeet to pop off a few times. lol.
I might re-slot this proc and give it another chance, if it is working for other people. Maybe I was just really unlucky. Good thing I have another one.
I slotted another one of these in my spines/dark scrapper. It works well, and proc's decently. So I figured what the heck, and slotted another one back in my hotfeet on my fire/kin. I monitored the healing delivered tab, as suggested(this does make it easier), and it seems to be working just fine. I'm not sure what my issue was before, although it would appear it was just bad luck. ;-)
I recently slotted a pvp io in my hotfeet power for my fire/kin. It's the Fury of the Gladiator Chance for -res. Supposedly it grants a 20% chance to weaken an enemies damage resistance by 20%. I'm assuming it has that proc chance on everyone within range of my hotfeet. As a side note, my hotfeet is slotted entirely with procs - Armageddon, Eradication, Obliteration, Impeded Swiftness, Scirocco's Dervish, and that PVP IO.
The other procs seem to go off pretty regularly within their %chance of occurring, especially the Armageddon, but that has 33% chance anyways so is to be expected. My problem, is that the Fury of the Gladiator one rarely goes off at all. I went through my combat log, and in one of those ambush spawning AE missions on +2 x 8 spawns, it went off a total of 7 times? That seems ridiculously low for something that has a 20% chance of occuring, and is slotted in an always on toggle power. And it's not like I don't have tons of enemies around me. I can see how many times my hotfeet supposedly activates, and it's always hitting lots of enemies at a time.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this? According to one of my friends, he said that his friend has it slotted in his spines scrapper on quills, and it proc's all the time. I'm just wondering if the issue is with it working in hotfeet, or I'm just horribly unlucky with the proc rate. I know a bit about probabilities etc, so I know that 20% chance does not mean if there are 10 enemies around you, you will hit 2 of them, etc. But still...7 times out of a whole farming mission? lol
