So Traxor pointed something out in WW Monk chat. Mutagenic, Chaos, and that Frozen Burst stuff got a buff... but was nerfed dramatically in the process.

Instead of improving your percentage trigger chance, it improves your damage by 33%. So with three pieces, you can get to 99% cap. But still run around with a 10% chance to proc with no other modifiers from other gear or spells. With a dirge you can get to 12%, and more with a few other classes.

So was the +33% dmg boost worth the lower trigger amounts?

I think you are confused. Frostburn gives 50% not 33%. It's Mutagenic Burst that gives 33%. Mutagenic burst also is modifiable. Mine is at 15% right now actually (Anashti charm plus dirge in my group atm). Frostburn however is still restricted to 10%.

I was just pointing out how usually with a dirge and 12% proc rates. My Mutagenic burst was around 5% of my dps when i mass pulled. Chaos burst was around 3%. Now chaos is around 1% and mutagenic at 2%. EVEN THOUGH. Damage was INCREASED. How does that make sense?

Damage wasn't increased on mutagenic burst or chaos burst

When equipped increased burst damage by 33%.
Chaos burst was not change. It was used as a comparison of a 10% proc rate item that is when struck vs previous mechanics.

Like I said it was not changed. Mutagenic burst always did that, it now is just worded differently.
