Tested proc rates on Blind (TLDR: it's treated as single target)

[Kai Moon]

Since Blind involves both a single target attack, and a 2' AoE effect (area factor 1.225), I wanted to test how often procs fire on Blind.

 

Both tests: Level 50+1 illusion controller on test server. Slotted Blind with the 4 procs below. Logged autofiring Blind on a RWZ practice dummy for about an hour.

Test 1: Also slotted two 50+5 recharge IOs. Spiritual core paragon alpha (45% recharge). Activation+recharge time = 5.56s.

Test 2: No recharge slotting. Musculature core paragon alpha (no recharge). Activation+recharge time = 8.98s.

 

Apocalypse proc (4.5 PPM)

Test 1: 230 procs in 593 hits (39%). Expected ST proc rate = 42% (z=-1.4). Expected AoE proc rate = 34% (z=2.5).

Test 2: 268 procs in 386 hits (69%). Expected ST proc rate = 67% (z=0.9). Expected AoE proc rate = 55% (z=5.7).

 

Superior Will of the Controller proc (5 PPM)

Test 1: 276 procs in 593 hits (47%). Expected ST proc rate = 46% (z=0.1). Expected AoE proc rate = 38% (z=4.4).

Test 2: 286 procs in 386 hits (74%). Expected ST proc rate = 75% (z=-0.3). Expected AoE proc rate = 61% (z=5.2).

 

Unbreakable Constraint proc (4.5 PPM)

Test 1: 240 procs in 593 hits (40%). Expected ST proc rate = 42% (z=-0.6). Expected AoE proc rate = 34% (z=3.3).

Test 2: 262 procs in 386 hits (68%). Expected ST proc rate = 67% (z=0.2). Expected AoE proc rate = 55% (z=5.1).

 

Fortunata Hypnosis proc (4.5 PPM)

Test 1: 251 procs in 593 hits (42%). Expected ST proc rate = 42% (z=0.3). Expected AoE proc rate = 34% (z=4.3).

Test 2: 252 procs in 386 hits (65%). Expected ST proc rate = 67% (z=-0.9). Expected AoE proc rate = 55% (z=4.1).

 

Conclusion: Procs in Blind fire at rates consistent with the single target formula, and almost certainly aren't penalized by an area factor of 1.225.

Much appreciated!

What did you use to parse the combat log? 
 Herostats wasn’t working when I tried to download/install a copy.

I just copied and pasted the logs to regexr.com, typed in the different search strings, and let the website count the number of matches
