You can then use the grep / agrep utility and a small amount of command line know-how to filter them out.
If you are using Windows, the agrep utility is available here: AGREP, an approximate GREP

agrep "Lightning Strike" WoWCombatLog.txt > output.txt

You can also use the Ruby script mentioned earlier in this thread, however I can not provide instructions for using it.
By simply posting good grep'ed combatlog sample(s) (lots of hits on a specific mob, ie. boss or undying mob in the blasted lands), another may be able to determine the chance on hit / internal cooldown (if any).

Thanks for the script Tunah! I was just dusting off my old perl interpreter when google turned up your script, which is much better than anything I was planning to write.

To get it to work for hunters, I think the following filter captures all ranged attacks:
I haven't gathered much data to run through it yet (is there any way to precompile the script the run faster or something? I'm a complete novice with ruby, but imagine running it through the bundled editor isn't the best way to process 50meg files), but over a 3.5 minute Nalorakk kill it estimates the DST proc as having no internal cooldown, which seems a little odd. I suppose that's just jitter in the timestamps due to the small sample (107 eligible shots).

I've fixed a bug in the script that would make it fall over if the day or month wasn't single digit, doh (thanks barn!). Also added the filter from alienangel as PLAYER_RANGED_OR_SPELL.

As for the DST internal cooldown, can you post the full output from that log? Specifically the Duration line. If it's saying no internal cooldown, it means either there's significant variation in proc length (which means overlapping procs unless i'm missing something), or there's a bug.

As for speed - well ruby isn't fast But that code could definitely do with some optimisation, I'll have a go.

The DST has an internal cooldown since the last nerf to it. If it doesn't, it's certainly remarkable in never ever refreshing itself.

 

Shae

Some recent testing on proc rates in the Shaman How to Heal like a Pro thread suggests that [Insightful Earthstorm Diamond] now has a hidden 15s cooldown. The observed proc rate while spam casting will be affected by more casts occurring during the cooldown period.

 

Mideci

I kind of wonder how long this has been in place. I'm trying to remember ever seeing it proc twice inside of 15 seconds. Not saying it didn't used to do it. But really not remember when it did.

 

Missa

Timbal's seems to be longer than a 15s ICD now.. as I've only gotten 11 procs on Brut. average the past 3 weeks. Isn't that a 32s ICD, or basically 30s? Did they stealth nerf it?

 

Skyhoof

We may want to change the 5% proc rate on the first post or at least put an asterisk next to it. The proc rate with no spell haste appears to be about 3.85%. With about 200 spell haste rating, the proc rate dropped to 3.5%.

If anyone else has tested the proc rate, please let me know.

 

Roywyn

That means 15s were spent on the cooldown, and it took another 30 seconds to get a proc.
30 seconds means 20 casts of HW2 (1.5s talented), and 1/20 = 5%.

Your data fits perfectly with "15s CD, 5% proc chance".
The lower proc chance observed is because you spend some (~33% at 1.5s cast speed) cast inside the cooldown.
Not sure what you think should be changed.

And usually the data in wowhead/thott/etc. is correct when it comes to percentage procs.

And [Timbal's Focusing Crystal] doesn't proc on AM.
Neither does [The Egg of Mortal Essence] since 3.1.

Its not 100% on topic, but i happened to stumble over a 'Procodile' over at wowace today. It seems like everything you want to figure out (melee) procs is tracked. I am not so sure about the validity of the data gained though. In all honesty, i cant believe the warglaives have an internal cooldown of 2 seconds.

Just a guess - since the tracked proc of DTS is the "Equip: Chance on hit for haste.", the tracked proc of MotB is "Equip: Chance on hit for APen." - the the tracked proc if your Glaive might simply be "Mongoose"?

I don't know how that mod works - but if it has some auto-config mode, then I guess that is what it measures. A guessed 2s CD (minimum delay between procs) and 57% uptime looks like Mongoose.

Also, note that this mod doesn't recognise when something doesn't have a cooldown.
Madness of the Betrayer was tested to have no CD, it can chain-proc and prolong it's uptime without a combat log message.
Your mod doesn't see that. You likely had one occasion of "0:00.0 Proc. 0:10.0 Proc fades. 0:10.1 New Proc." and the mod thought "Aha, 10s CD!".
A good mod should recognise that there are instances of "0:00 Proc. (0:04 Reproc, but those are not in the log.) 0:14 Proc fades.", and see that 14s uptime indicates "No cooldown, reprocs are not in the combat log.".


If you can setup the mod by adding a proc name manually, it should work better.

Thanks for pointing that out. After looking into the addon .lua it indeed suggests it is Mongoose is tracked, as the addon doesn't have the Warglaive proc added by default. I added the haste proc's id manually and will go and dive into Dire Maul to see if it works.

 

daia

I checked out this addon and ran into Dire Maul and did some very short tests. I was able to add in the Warglaive proc and AToL but mongoose still showed as another instance of Warglaive of Azzinoth, nothing a little mspaint couldn't handle. Both of the series were done doing a 5/5 rotation and using AR/BF whenever they were up.

It would not add another Proc counter to the Ashtongue trinket if you refreshed the buff before it ended, but it still added onto the uptime.

New season, new toy! [Formula: Enchant Weapon - Deathfrost]

Drops from Frost Lord Ahune, BoP, costs 2 Primal Water and 2 Primal Shadow.
"Permanently enchant a weapon so your damaging spells and melee weapon hits occasionally inflict an additional 150 Frost damage and reduce the target's melee, ranged, and casting speed by 15% for 8 sec. Requires a level 60 or higher item."

A paladin tested it with and without SoCr (40% melee haste Seal) with an 1.6s Mace (S2 Gavel) and got an 8% proc rate both times. A hunter did a few tests and got ~8% too.
That was what I picked up in guild chat at least. Unconfirmed data is better than no data.


The proc can crit (with your spell crit rate probably), crits for 150%. The [Chaotic Skyfire Diamond] seems to affect it, the "200% frost crit" talentt does not. Zone buffs, Fericious Inspiration, etc. affect it.

So, proc rate, PPM/percentage and cooldown would require some log to check properly.
Could use a test whether it procs in feral forms or not as well.
I expect a lot of ogre spirits, demonic servants and megalomaniac doctors to be hurt in the process.
