Burning Crusade Beta Patch 2.0.2.6144

If the ppm is the same regardless of attack speed... shouldn't you get the exact same number of procs if the weapon is hitting once per second as you would hitting every 3? And isn't a 3% increase amounting to the same thing in either of those cases?

OK if you have a 2.0 speed weapon with a 5 PPM, you are looking at 16 2/3% chance per swing to get a proc. If you get a flurry buff, you still have a 16.6% chance to get a proc on each of those flurry swings even though those swings are faster. If with a druid getting procs it treats the cat attack speed like it does flurry you still have a 16.6% chance to get a proc per attack, but you get twice as many attacks to get that proc. It gets worse and worse the slower the weapon is.

Now if they do the PPM calcs based of the druid cat speed, the calcs are a 1.0 speed weapon with 5 PPM and you only have an 8.3% chance to get a proc on each attack. I have a feeling that isn't what blizzard did and that is why things were broken. I think just left the chance calcs work off the equiped weapon but that weapon was swinging a lot faster and giving you a lot more proc chances.
