Weapon Procs when attack misses?

[jdoran]

I was surprised to see that weapon procs are checked even for attacks that miss. I never paid any attention to this on live, so the attack code may very well be correct. But I would really like to know if this is the way it is supposed to be.

(I'm referring to near the end of NPC::Attack in attack.cpp)

yes indeed, since ancient times
this is why casters LOVED weapons that proced lifetap/high dmg spells even if they were missing on every swing
The Orb that proced 425 dmg DD comes to mind (forgot the name)

Yep! Hit or Miss, a proc check is made on every swing!

Thanks for clearing that up.

By the way, I see that a mod has moved this to the Windows forum. I have no clue what the criteria for posting in each forum is. Perhaps in the future I can save them time and post everything in the Windows forum (even though I don't run a Windows server).

Technically it's general support, but I'm not a mod so I have no say.
