Heh, you're quite right, I forgot to think about how my statement would sound to other people. I had originally written it as a single variable CPD (cast per duration) but thought it looked ugly so...

Uptime = 1-(1-P)^(C/D)

Where P is the probability of the proc going off, C/D is the number of casts you'd get over the duration of a...

According to thott, it works like things like the nightseye panther - it gives a boost to your stealth level (+6 levels, it seems), but if you can't stealth in the first place, it won't do anything.

It's been mentioned in the enchanting preview, and several times here - you can replace the gem in a piece of gear, but the original gem is destroyed in the process. No reuse of gems, unfortunately.

11000 * 105.5% = 11605
11000 * 105% = 11550
