So I've been using my Classified Nomad for about 3-4 months now. It's my go-to for the DZ, whether I am in for PvP or PvE. It goes without saying I am often getting ganked by rogues.
So anyway, I'd estimate roughly 70-80% of the time I get 1 proc with no cooldown, then the next one she goes red. The other 20-30% of my "lucky" times I'll get second proc with no cooldown, then of course it's red.
I have never, ever, gotten more than two successive no-cooldown procs. Not even once. This is out of maybe hundreds of encounters with both NPCs and other players. And yet I get these guys going rogue on me that'll proc 4, 5 and sometimes 6 times in a row. I'll bump into them later and they'll do it again.
Is there some dumb secret I am oblivious to? I know I have no luck, but am having a hard time chalking such consistency (over many months) to "bad luck."
I've prob got the worst nomad ever ! Only think it procced twice in all the time I've used it since it came out 😢. you do see a few that proc several times, although sounds dodgy. Seem to have more trouble with preds that are tougher than 10k nomads at the moment, so wish I had a multiple proc nomad ☹️
I realized (too late) that my description was pretty lousy because I totally discounted the times where on my very first proc I went red. That comes out to about 50/50, as you'd expect. Then what I described in my OP takes place in the "lucky" part of that 50/50. So 70-80% (of the original 50%) I may get two procs with no cooldown. Even more rare, one more. But never more than that.
I am not necessarily complaining about those odds because it comes out as I'd expect given the 50% chance in the description. But how other players manage twice that before they have to cooldown is beyond me.

2 Pred and D3 in the same team....
This is hilarious, I just had this conversation last night ..... I keep getting one proc but I see others getting multiple
Here’s a thought I wondered? Sock and anyone else, WHAT STATS DO YOU RUN? I run a heavy FA and was wondering if more Stam or elec would make a difference...
Sounds crazy but I most definitely wondered the same thing, I do I just get one proc. I’ve maybe gotten back to back proc (in dz) maybe twice. I’ve run nomad off and on for all of 1.8.3 and some .8.2
Mine is almost pure FA. I have something like 10,220 FA, and the minimum 2,900 (or so) in STAM and ELEC.Originally Posted by GetMused Go to original post
Your thought did occur to me, but if that were the case shouldn't Massive be putting that into the description (like they do for Tac, Pred, etc.)?
I'd ask for an official word but I can guarantee Massive will say it's straight-up 50% chance, and I just cannot buy that some other players are so consistently lucky, while I never am...
When I played a lot, I only used Nomad consistently for maybe a two weeks. I did use it on and off some more times during my playtime with the game but the reason its so little is that my nomad would proc more than once maybe <10%. I was very unlucky. But I tended to stay out of combat alot and only fight when the odds where 1:2 max. against me. In addition I found my nomad buggy as when I had revival sig. link (green) alot of the time it would not auto-trigger and I would only have my single nomad proc for the fight. That was all before the changes to Nomad 6p skill for groups.
