Per the talent: Whenever your Rend ability causes damage, you have a 33% chance of allowing the use of your Overpower ability for 9sec. This effect will not occur more than once every 6 sec.

This ability has a 33% chance to proc on every rend tick, and has a 6 sec. internal CD, that does not mean it will proc every 6 sec. it merely means that's when it's available to proc again. This is not a bug.

[Shintaxgg]

You realise 3 points in it makes it 100% right, lol

[deanced]

No you're right, that's my bad. I can also see what's happening on it looking at my own combat log now, it appears to be resetting the ICD based on when you use the proc, and not when the proc actually happens.

I closed for no expected behavior reference and low quality info. Can we improve the quality of this ticket?
@magey perhaps 👀

as per the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7wqOhHNSz4&t=60s
can see that this behavior while strange does appear to match the original behavior in wotlk
0:59 (59.28) - rend applied
1:02 (62.41) - rend damage [1471]
1:05 (65.49) - rend damage [1471] + tfb proc
1:08 (68.25) - rend damage [1471]
1:11 (71.33) - rend damage [1471] - where tfb proc??
1:14 (74.41) - rend damage [1471] + tfb proc

[caccavale]

Welp, that was a ride.

So this is a bug that existed back in the day, so it's technically NAB ( there's multiple evidences such as the 3.3.5a video in the post)

That said it's clearly one of those bad and clearly unintended bug that we reckon should be corrected.

lol.

Regardless of the sassyness of that copypaste, its still a fair point. This was probably an unintentional bug so reopening until we hear a final decision.

[Aggrend]

This does in fact match 3.3.5, however I'll acknowledge that this was likely not intended and as a result we've dug into it pretty deeply and determined that its a pretty risky code change if we wanted to attempt a fix at this point. We are going to say NAB/WNF for now. We have a bug in our DB and might revisit it in the future, however. Thanks!

Thanks for confirming but could you maybe elaborate for us? it's hard to cope with what seems like such an easy fix of e.g just lowering the CD to 5.9 seconds being a risky change? #59 seems more intricate but got fixed rather quickly.

[stako]

Looks like they did just that for Cataclysm - reduced the cooldown to 5 seconds. Doesn't actually allow you to get an overpower proc every 5 seconds as rend ticks every 3 seconds, so it's still gonna proc every 2nd tick (6 seconds), just fixes the missed procs. Unless players start refreshing rend at weird times, but that'd almost certainly be a DPS loss.

Any updates on this?
