Crystal Fragments

KalyanLazair

Crystal Fragments, according to description, has a 0.8 cast time. However, if a magicka skill is cast there is a 35% chance that Crystal Fragment will be immediate, cause more damage and cost less magicka. This skill has been working as intended. However, as of late there are moments that it seems to be buffing over and over again (it makes a specific sound when the special characteristic is activated). Right now it seems that the activation rate is way superior to the 35% expected rate.

1/3 chance of proccing is a pretty solid rate. That means every 3 skills you cast 1 of them have a chance of proccing this. So once every 3 seconds. But that doesn't mean that you won't get lucky streaks where it procs back to back to back. That's just how RNG works.

However, I have noticed that the skill is producing a phantom proc sound even when it doesn't proc. I've gone to cast a proc after hearing the sound and it started a hard cast instead.

Outside of cleaning up the potential phantom proc sound, the skill is fine and really doesn't need to be nerfed anymore because "it seems that the activation rate is way superior."

Yeah, perhaps it's just phantom sounds since I haven't really tested the skill itself.

I wasn't talking about nerfing the skill. I've been using the skill for ages (2016 user here) on two of my magsorc chars. I was concerned about the phantom sound as it felt like I was running into unusual activation rates that I hadn't seen before. Since I hadn't really tested whether the skill had proc or not (as I've been doing my usual rotations) I wasn't sure whether it was a sound effect glitch or proc glitch. I wouldn't mind a 100% proc rate but according to TOS I'm supposed to inform of any glitch I find or I might risk loosing the account due to exploit of a known/noticed glitch.
