Everything in this post is wrong and I don't even care enough to fix it.

Holy hell man, you just keep at it. You are NOT guaranteed a proc. On average, you will get it once every two (2) of the possible attacks. Meaning your AVERAGE will be one every 9 seconds. The math is not hard.

Flaming burst has, what, a 1 second cooldown? And you think you're not going to proc once in 6 seconds?

The real problem is, you guys know you're riding on the coattails of an OP class and you know changing that will send you back to mediocrity. Learn to throttle.

........................You can't try for a proc until after the 6 seconds are done. How have you missed out on that crucial piece of information?

........

do you understand what an internal CD is?

also, pyro has to throttle more so than any other pt spec, and now half of their attacks will be rapid shots.

So lets finish the thought all the way through so you will see it

Yes, flame burst will likely proc it once in 6 seconds...

BUT THEN, you have to wait 6 seconds, until it is POSSIBLE to flame burst to proc it at all, not 6 seconds and rail shot procs, its 6 seconds and you get a chance to proc.

So on average with the new chance upgrade, its 3 seconds to get it to proc, so

6 seconds of no chance, plus 3 second average (that your not guaranteed) and you have a railshot every 9 seconds... maybe.

And after it procs, you have to wait 6 more seconds before you can try to proc it again.
