Devastate

[magey]

Research the particulars of how Devastate works. Specifically:

• [x] Interaction with Improved Expose Armor
• [ ] More to come..

beta build 2.5.1.39118

1. devastate is able to be cast while improved expose armor is active
2. devastate currently is able to proc chance-on-hit MH weapon effects twice in one cast (most noticeable with thunderfury). Anecdotally, it also has very high proc chance as well. It is assumed the devastate is casting a sunder armor and both effects are able to proc chance-on-hit. More investigation of exact numbers required.

(waiting for addons/api to come available to do any threat values examination)

Yep I can confirm the double proc chance; it seems that when you use Devastate it literally casts Sunder Armor as well instead of just applying its effect. Using a Hammer of the Northern Wind on a dummy, getting a full rage bar, stopping autoattack and using a macro that does /cast [@mouseover] Devastate I was able to get something similar to this a few times:

And the abridged log:

Is it possible for you to test the interaction between IEA + Devastate on proc rate then? I presume that you won't get a double proc because sunder won't be able to be cast?

Double proc chance from devastate is accurate and correct behavior. Enjoy!
