Gauntleted Fist Proc

[PLVRIZR]

So, Inv/SS...I've got Might of the Tanker chance for +resist on Haymaker and Gauntleted Fist chance for +absorb on Jab.  When the MoT proc activates, an icon appears, but I never get any indication the absorb ever activates.  What am I missing?...

Hey Blue,

You should see a slight gray amount of bar appear in the green HP bar. If you're in heavy combat you might miss it. I looks a lot like the absorb bonus in HPs that you get from Rad Armor and Bio Armor, but a much smaller amount.

What Warboss said, small amount of grey bar on your health, and you should also see +### in white/grey text pop above your head when it procs, though that can be crowded out in busy times as well.

Coolio, thanks guys.

Note you can also monitor absorb with combat attributes. You can monitor the overall attribute, or, if you look in the full combat attribute window, you can actually see the proc’s effect specifically.

Tks, arcane.  I actually did go back through the combat window, to find it.  It certainly doesn't fire as often as MoT...

[Cenozoic]

Those procs fire better in AoEs.

[PLVRIZR]

Understood, but no room in Foot Stomp...my only AOE (not including Mighty Judgment...) 🙂

 

Jab recycles so fast, it's always hitting something and Haymaker isn't far behind.  The MoT fires so much it's usually two stacked...

Jab is probably the worst place you can put any proc. It’s tough since you don’t have a damage aura as those are great places for this. I would move it to anything but Jab though (probably not Punch either). It’s got a much lower PPM rate than MotT, too, so, keep that in mind as well.

 

Your proc rates for this will be something like Foot Stomp (not actually high rate but AoE) > Knockout Blow > Hurl > Haymaker > Punch > Jab. And then, for whichever option you consider, off the top of my head, MotT will proc 4x as much as Gauntleted Fist. (Because from memory the PPMs are 6 and 1.5). 
 

On the bright side MotT is the better proc anyway.
