    Weaponskills and additional hits

    I have a couple questions of how DA/TA/QA and AM3 are calculated in terms of weaponskills.

    1: I'm under the impression that a weaponskill can only "attempt" to proc DA/TA/QA once per hit it has, and has a maximum cap of two procs per weaponskill (so if say, Eviceration procs DA twice, it can't proc anything else). If that's correct, are the two proc checks only on the first two hits, or just any of the hits until the cap is reached? If that's not correct, how does it work in terms of proc cap and proc checks?

    2: Do AM3 procs work under the same checks and caps as DA/TA/QA?

    Mathy Parts forum isn't really frequented except by a couple people, and I thought I might have a better chance of finding someone who knows here.

    DA, TA, and QA can proc on the first two swings of the WS, and only the first two swings. There is no check for the later swings.

    Mythic AM3 only can proc on the first swing of the WS.

    I see, thank you. One more question:

    I know that if you DA/TA/QA a single hit weaponskill, the second hit isn't checked for the second multi-hit proc; does that also hold if the second hit is caused by AM3, as well? I assume so, but I'm not certain.

    In case you're dualwielding weapons, how does the additional offhand hit place under this scenario?

    For example for 1-hit WS => is the offhand hit considered as if it were the second hit of a 2hit WSs?
    For 2+ hit WS => can the offhand benefit from multihit procs, or does it fall under the same limitations explained above? (only the first 2 hits of a WS can proc multihit)

    Yeah. DA/TA/QA can't proc off a multi-attack caused by AM3.

    On a one-hit 1H WS with a second hit from Dual Wield, the offhand is considered the second hit and DA/TA/QA can proc twice. No one has proven (afaik) what the base damages are of DA/TA/QAs (whether they get main hand or offhand base damage in various situations), but it's obvious that they get WSC. I'm not sure people have proven that fTP-replicating WSs extend to the DA/TA/QA procs, but I've always assumed they do.

    That should be pretty easy to test using CdC, now that it transfers fTP.

    Actually, iirc I did it with PK/AM3 and posted it in the mathy parts after that adjustment. I got damage numbers higher than should be possible otherwise.
