Hi Everyone,
I’ve noticed a potential issue with the “Reap the Storm” talent. Based on its tooltip, the talent should have a 20% chance to trigger after every Bloodthirst hit. However, after extensive testing, I’ve found that the actual proc rate is significantly lower, fluctuating between 10-13%.
To ensure accurate data, I conducted multiple tests in both AoE and Single Target situations, with fight durations ranging between 6 to 15 minutes. Across these encounters, the proc rate consistently failed to reach the advertised 20%.
Interestingly, if the proc is supposed to trigger on casts of Bloodthirst rather than hits, the proc rate seems far too high (IN AOE!), averaging around 67%. This discrepancy suggests there might be some confusion between how the proc is calculated—whether it’s based on hits or casts. In single target the procs rate is remaining around 10-13%.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Select the “Reap the Storm” talent.
- Engage in combat, using Bloodthirst as a primary ability.
- Monitor the proc rate of “Reap the Storm” over extended fights (6-15 minutes).
In conclusion, when based on hits, the proc rate is too low in both Single Target and AOE (10-13%), and when based on casts, the proc rate seems too high in AOE (67%).
Example data (as I said, I tried several times to normalize…)
Single target 6 min | ||
---|---|---|
Bloodthirst hit&cast | Reap the Storm cast | Trigger % |
62 | 7 | 11,29 |
AOE 15 min | ||
Bloodthirst hit | Reap the Storm cast | Trigger % |
740 | 100 | 13,51 |
AOE 15 min | ||
Bloodthirst cast | Reap the Storm cast | Trigger % |
148 | 100 | 67,57 |

Well, in the meantime, I got an explanation, and the wording of the Spell isn’t the most fortunate/accurate…
It’s true that Bloodthirst/Bloodbath procs Reap the Storm based on Hits, but Reap the Storm can only trigger once per cast…
So the formula is roughly this:
chance(%) = (1 − (1 − (20% / 100)) ^ numberOfTargets) × 100
So
For 1 target: 20%
For 2 targets: 36%
For 3 targets: 48.8%
For 4 targets: 59.04%
For 5 targets: 67.23%
