    Grim Reaper eddie

    Does anyone else have Grim Reaper eddie trigger his attack over and over again I swear the numbers can not be right on this attack. Thought it was suppose to be 30-35% trigger ability. Or is it because he hits 3 times its really 90-105% chance to trigger?

    30% on unsharded, 35% if Slash ability is level 3+.

    It does seem higher but not sure how the game handles it. Triggers chances seem to vary a lot depending if PvE, offense PvP, defense PvP ... At least, as far as I can tell, for some talismans some toons with same targeting pattern will have different odds to proc. Anyhow you maths are off:
    At least one proc at 30% over 3 tries is (1-0.7^3) = 65.7% ... Goes up to ~ 72.5% at base 35%.

    I'm also curious if there's more information on proc rates in a general sense, to me the % displayed on the skills/talismans are just indications.

    Toons I maxed after Cyborg, chronologically ordered:
    Allied Bomber Boy, Pyro Soldier, Corrupt Rescuer, The Nomad, Wrath
    Run to the Hill Ed., Grim Reaper Ed., Angel of Fear, Soulless Demon
    Desert Marauder, Undead Rescuer, Pharaoh Dog, Death Dog
    Corrupt General

    A lot of effects also depend on perfect attacks. I really wish there was a simple explanation of the math by one of the devs.

    .35*3=105%...

    That's not how probability works.

    If you flip a coin which has a 35% to land heads three time, the probability that it will it will lands on heads at least one time is 72.5375%.

    I.e., 1-(1-.65)*(1-.65)*(1-.65) = .725375

    Proc rate seems about right to me.

    Are you talking about offence or defence cause they are completely different.
    On offence you get 72.5375% since we are talking about 35% on each hit.
    On defence it's just 100% cause they boost the probabilities to counter the fact that AI is actually artificial stupidity.
    Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins,
    Silent the terror that reigned-marbled in stone
    Shell of a man God preserved-a thousand ages
    But open the gates of my hell-I will strike from the grave.
