That is one example...

And as of two days ago I was a Ranger, so you are in fact asking a Ranger.

There are several weapons out there that say "On a successful attack" or "On any successful attack" but when it comes down to it they do NOT proc for a Ranger.

The Kiliji, 628 and Iceforged Sai were the 3 exceptions that proc'd how they are worded but they are being changed shortly. There are however many, many many MANY melee weapons that are worded the same way and do NOT proc from any ranged attacks.

...because they shouldn't proc on ranged, this was changed way the fuck back when. The one's that got through are being changed.

Kuian

These do not proc off any type of ranged attack, auto or CA:




Tons more, just don't want to spend the time to find pics T7 MC Imbued Rings are another example.

I'm not stating if they should or shouldn't, I'm stating that the wording is misleading and you shouldn't go off of how it's worded.

Naeca

No.. I understand that some proc off of ranged and some don't. I never said that ALL of those listed procs work for ranged. I said just some.

Which is why I put (and some range attacks). Hence 'some'.

And yes, perhaps most of the items were never intentional, but some work, and that's why we take advantage of them.

The wording isn't misleading if you assume it only applies to the recipient of the proc. You don't expect a bow to proc from a melee swing on any successful attack. You expect anything coming out of your bow to proc on any successful attack.

Same logic applies to melee weapons.

Kuian

The wording is misleading when it's on boots or gloves or a piece of equipment that has the same wording on it "on a/any successful attack".

Senelin

An easy way to solve it with the wording would be to say On a successful attack *with this weapon*
