Slayer Fury Warrior Reap the Storm BUG?

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:

  1. Select the “Reap the Storm” talent.
  2. Engage in combat, using Bloodthirst as a primary ability.
  3. 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%

You proc it that often? I think mine has triggered like a total of 10 times since the 23rd. It’s extremely frustrating.

The problem is that 10-13% is still too little compared to 20%.

Also, keep in mind that this is a very specific isolated environment on “Target Dummies,” so this value could be even worse in a Mythic+ Dungeon.

The most ridiculous part of it all is that I can’t even open a BUG ticket for it. At least I tried, but it’s as if this is deliberately hidden somewhere deep for EU users, or maybe I’m just being really dumb.

To open a bug report; go to the desktop battle.net app, top left (blizzard icon), click it to get the fall down menu - chose report a bug - chose games on battle.net

:dracthyr_heart: Have a great day, and hopefully your bug will get fixed
