4 weeks without a Master Trans proc

#0 - Dec. 18, 2007, 9:28 p.m.

Hi,

As I have already left a ticket which did not go anywhere, I would like to seek some consensus as to the fact that now since patch 2.3 with an average of 4 transmute per week, this Alchemy Master Transmute character have not had a single double transmute.
Is it reasonable to expect such poor result since patch 2.3? (before I could count on an average of 1:4 transmute proc rate) or is there something quite not working with this character?

Thank you

Thanks for bringing this up, Pano! As of the 2.3 content patch, there's currently an issue with Transmutation Mastery by which the percentage chance to receive additional results from transmutations — aside from Transmute: Primal Might — is lower than the intended value. This is likely contributing to the dearth of procs you've observed, and I'd like to offer my apologies for any consternation that has arisen as a result of the discrepancy. I'm happy to report that this matter should be resolved in a future patch, but your continued patience in the interim is appreciated. :)

You talk purty.

Q u o t e:
Is it possible to give an idea of which "future patch" this would be? I'm hoping it's the one currently on the PTR (2.3.2?), any clarification on this would be great! Thanks!

Although I'm hesitant to offer anything more concrete than I already have, I'll say that the resolution is currently undergoing testing, and that we hope to implement the change as soon as it's ready. Our primary goal is to return this mechanic to its normal functionality with all due haste. :)

Q u o t e:
Does this mean that all transmutes have a lower than intended percentage chance for procs, except that this low value is intended for Primal Might

OR

Does this mean that Primal Might is procing at the intended higher value, and everything else is just hosed?

Ah, good question! Based on the notes I've consulted, it seems that Primal Might is currently the only transmutation proccing extras at the intended, higher rate; all other transmutations are proccing at an unintended, significantly lower rate. I hope that provides some clarification. :)

Pavonum, can you please repost and sticky this thread in the professions forum? At least three new threads are created daily, even with many of us reposting in that thread a link to yours.

A sticky in the Professions Forum has been created regarding the matter; may it help to clarify the situation for others. :)
