Also, googled 'stormblast on striking' using quote marks and didn't find any info about such a thing. If it was in older MXL versions (I actually don't remember it) it would have been saved in the internet (old docs/BLaz version buff/nerf log), so I'm not sure what you were talking about.

Well, there is that old MXL version with .txt files available, so it's possible to test out the procs in the game. And well, the Stormblast one has the same issue as the Crucify one in that it can proc potentially infinitely by activating itself + other procs. Stormblast hits 25 times per second and possibly a large mob (the skill level on the item is respectable so it will cover a decent amount of area). Of course if it doesn't travel it's not that interesting of an item anymore. :P But I suppose that's why items with these skills-on-striking don't exist.

/e: Perhaps even lvl 1 Stormblast would be too much. If it indeed does proc itself forever you can't do it, for obvious reasons. :(

Whoop, such nice topic here :twisted: i see some cool ideas. Will cookie as soon as i could! Btw, things like Stormblast on striking for ranged builds are not OP as it seems. 1% chance with not high level of Stormblast could be good for crowd control, especially for rare bow chars like Sorc and Assa. Always wanted to play with some kind of Arrow Swarm Assassin :lol: hope they'll up oskills enuff and we'll have some new rws/uniqs/oskills for viable builds od this kind.
Oh and Stealth, what is this testv code? Wanna try too :mweed:

Agree here. Wasn't sure whether it can proc itself or not :)

OK. I did some testing with my old bowzon. The result is that 1%strike Stormblast with 15%strike Thunderhammer is perfectly acceptable with 11 target Wyrmshot and 89% hit chance. It doesn't really reproc often, it doesn't even proc all that much, maybe once per standstil to spam in cow lvl. So under these test conditions it indicates that the xbow is good. :)
Still gotta see what 5% Stormblast can do. :twisted:

This is 15% Crucify with no other procs on high monster density.

Something like 2% on the other hand doesn't reproc; 5% can reproc without leading to infinite spam, although there are no additional procs under this setup, so maybe 4% is fair to start off with.

The RW requires Qor and Krys runes - potentially not expensive/rare ones, also there's Familiar oskill on that dagger so I'll leave it with 2% for now.

While I do like the ideas and love the idea of more uses for runewords, I think that this would be a good time to address the new builds on each class that were around after all existing gear was already made. They could all use some gear that has them in mind. I'm looking at the scepters and swords mostly. I know they have options but, not like the other builds.
