Possible bug on proccing ring

[Lalkin]

A couple days ago I made the Pristine Silver Ring of Agility. Examining it it says it has a 3% chance to proc a haste when I use combat arts. I haven't noticed the proc go off but wasn't too worried about it and assumed it was doing its thing.

Last night a friend gave me a level 20 chest piece that has a 5% heal proc when hit. When I put it on I got a new buff that contains the proc (it says when hit in combat 5% chance to get heal over time).

The ring never has given me a buff like that. Which makes me wonder if the proc isn't working. You know, since one item with proc gives a buff with the proc info one would think all proc items would do so....

So, my question is with this info would you say the proc on the ring is bugged?

The rings aren't bugged.

You don't get a pop-up maintained buff like that. Imbues have a buff that shows, I'm guessing mostly because they react to incoming damage. The rings don't have a buff that shows because they react to something you do. Every now and then when you use a CA a buff will pop up giving you a bonus to haste when you're using that ring.

OK thanks. That is why I posted here instead of /bug'ing it.

FYI the ring is an imbue as well. The just react to different things. =)

Aye, sorry I meant Lambent and (the other one I always forget) imbue hehe.

I'm still not sure if it is working. I've started saving my chat logs. I've also tried to keep an eye on my buff window (really hard during combat though..).

I've searched my logs for anything talking about the buff on the ring (when the Lambent from my tunic procs I get messages in the chat log) and haven't found anyhting in several days of fighting. Of course I may not know the correct word to search for so I'm not positive yet of it not working. However with how much attention I'm trying to notice the proc going off I'm surprised I haven't noticed it yet.

I'll keep looking.

i dont know if you get a chat message when it goes off but you should see an extra icon appearing on your spell effects window. the buffs last about 30-45 secs iirc.

I can verify, from some adventuring with my various alts the past couple days, that the other 4 rings are still working fine. I wasn't running anyone with an agility ring, though (well, I was, but he was out harvesting in red-con areas, and mobs that one-shot you aren't the right targets for testing your agility ring). The other 4 rings include "proc on beneficial spells" and "proc on hostile spells", so I'd think "proc on combat arts" would still work fine.

I think the easiest way to look for them is to check your spell-effects-on-me window just after a combat... since these buffs only last a few seconds, you should be able to spot a flashing/about-to-drop buff icon fairly often. My paladin, with his STR and STA rings (which proc on autoattacks and on taking damage), finds the blinking buffs distracting, they're up so much.

Do recall, though, that procs are "normalized" to a 3 second time scale... since most combat arts are 1 second (0.5 cast time and 0.5 recovery time), the proc rate is actually 1/3 of what the ring says... I think AGI is 3%, so there's really only a 1% chance to trip the haste/AGI boost every time you mash a button.
