The only pattern i’ve found remotely working is it can be bound to an attack (from player or a pet) that is considered “melee”. Although ranged WPS shatter this theory.
In my experience, the proc itself is finally worth it after all the buffs but due to binding issue the amount of platforms that can afford it is very limited. Basically you must have either Vire’s Might to proc it or Ravenous Earh to successfully proc Assassin’s Mark and have your AA free to bind to Blind Fury.
Honestly, with how limited physical builds are with procers, especially the “main” physical mastery, Soldier, i’d like for Blind Fury to be shifted to chance when hit.
looking through grimtools with show all pet attribute and skill turned on, it shows that storm totem and mortar trap have no basic attack, the basic attack they have are the skill they cast, while wendigo totem, thermite mines, and wind devil have attack attribute, although it only have “meter target area”. Those totem and mortar are same with Inqui rune but about the wps I dont know.
Bull Rush, Maul and Oleron’s Rage will have less restrictive options in v1.1.8.0.
In regards to what you’re seeing, the templates for Bursting Round and Chilling Rounds simply overlap with those of most other WPS skills, and so they showed up as they were not explicitly blacklisted (although they should have been with the current melee-centric list).
Could we also look into some other proc-skills?
For example Word of Pain, in my experience,… it can proc close to nothing (where the very similar CoF can).
You can’t use everything at the same time anyway. Bull Rush is a very good proc while leveling, problem about it’s end game usage is it’s blue, if it were yellow and purple surely a lot of builders can squish it on their devotion scheme and bind it to something like movement skills/runes.
However every veteran player is aware that Maul is not enough to be used, most important problem is that it requires 6 points and gives only 1 purple and 1 blue affinity. It’s proccing is irrelevant here since even if devs make it to bind on every skill in the game, still no one will use it. It should give more affinity points.
Yeah, right, you forgot about Vire and falcon. So much ppl go for on-attack phyz devotions while building phyz builds. Oh whait, nou, no one pick them, everyone convert scale/fiend/bat/empyryon. Cause converted dmg ignore armor.
Sure no one takes Assassin’s Blade, Azraaka or Ulzaad. Vire and Empyrion are the only ones that is on hit. Scales also but are not primarily a physical devo.
