Procs are caused by direct damage hits, not dot ticks. WoP is no direct damage. For what reason this should be changed?
Thank you for your question.
Boiling Blood & Word of Pain are not a damage-over-time spells. It's backloaded direct damage. Tool tip states it applies a debuff and 'when the effect ends the victim will suffer 757 corp damage.
For comparison the BW's Slow Boil and the sorc's Vision of Torment, is the exact same mechanic. For Slow Boil a debuff is applied, and when the effect ends they will suffer 557 damage.
So how is it Slow Boil and Vision of Torment, the exact type of ability, can proc flames of ruin. or other procs for that matter? If you want actual proof, if you equip Solarbeam, a staff that has Burn IX on it, a 5% chance DoT 'On Hit' also procs with these spells. Yet if you cast Ignite. a baseline DoT, Burn IX does not proc whatsoever.
Ladies and gentlemen of the court. Despite this. Despite this. Why does this question even matter? Is this same kind of MMO argument that is ingrained in our psyches? Perhaps.
Then why does a slayer's Inevitable Doom, a backloaded DoT proc flames of ruin and god knows what else other procs Every Single Time it ticks. (courtroom gasps in shock). In addition a sorc's casted DoT Gloom of Night is a DoT in fact, and EVERY tick procs procs. It always has and should always will. When I play sorc, I actually am good and use this on tanks to chew up challenge off me. (murmurs of impressed jury).
Yes. I know. Again, why does this even matter, when the fact is a year and a half ago, Boiling Blood & Word of Pain already were proccing procs. For the last 12 years it was proccing procs just fine.
Then one slow day about a year and a half ago, Someone ninja nerfed these abilities..On Both sides, and even neutered Slow Boil. The bright wizard's 2nd best backload spell was simultaneously changed so it would not do more than tooltip damage, so no amount of intelligence would increase it. (It was doing 1k+ then all of a sudden 500+).
https://github.com/WarEmu/WarBugs/issues/17992 bug report cirque Oct 2020.
But our killer messed up. They got lazy, or perhaps botched the job. They did not ninja nerf the Sorc's equivelent of Slow Boil. My sorc was ripping off 1300 Vision of Torments with the same damage bonus, when my bright wizard was tossing out 550 damage slow boil's and it's burst package was borked.
I enlisted Bombling to help me campaign, and War-G tested it. He fixed it. (jury smiles at the holy Wargrimnir in the back row of the courtroom, fumbling with his phone to reset a fort that is bugged).
It wasnt until after this when I felt like playing my BW again because it was fixed, I noticed a problem. Boiling Blood wasn't proccing anything. At all. I worked hard for my measily 10% chance on hit to proc my sovereign damage bonus, yet one of my first spells in my rotation didn't even give it a chance. 25% chance of flames of ruin was hardly much, but someone took it away still. My DoK friend cried when he heard my precious Word of Pain didn't snare that white lion who was running away beacuse it didn't proc his covenant of celerity.
The pain and sorrow continues. And it doesn't make a damn difference to anyone, because no one cares probably. But I care. And other people's casters are lower and don't even realize it. But I got their back. I spoke up. No, this aint getting fixed. But I'll at least let the world know, Your boy made the bug report in December of 2020
https://github.com/WarEmu/WarBugs/issues/18255 And I have not forgotten you. You have a voice. I just humbly ask in due time, maybe in a few more years time, when someone has time, this bug report is assigned and patched. Because ladies and gentlemen, the stealth nerf wasn't announced. It wasn't patched. It just happened. And $%^& does happen, but also, people like me will notice.
