If the intent of the change for monolith of storms to do "sorcerer damage type" is so it can proc static reverb, someone needs to tell the combat team that procs can't proc procs.

I setup 3 training dummys in a line, parsed the middle one down to 20% health, ended combar, and then alternated casting mages fury on the 2 end dummys



at less than 20% health there should be a 100% chance of procing static reverb, it didn't proc on the centre target dummy.

you can see static did proc during the test, 8 times from 23 casts of mages fury



just not at all on the dummy that was only being damaged by monolith.

Is this bugged or is this intended behaviour and the monolith damage change is for some other reason?

further testing with 5pc monolith and 5pc innate axiom

5pc innate


4pc innate


you can see that 5pc innate is hitting harder even though the 4pc has higher spell damage in cmx (i messed up and the piece i swapped was a necklace wtih a spell damage enchant.)

regardless, you can see that it's counting as a class skill, so the damage is counting as sorcerer damage, I just don't see what the point is since nothing in the sorc kit interacts with it in that way that i can think of.
