Melee Proc

From EQ KnowledgePit

[edit] General Information

The term melee proc, or simply proc, refers to a random effect that can be triggered each time a player or mob swings in melee combat. Procs, historically, were always a property of either the weapon, in the case of players, or an innate ability of the NPC. In recent expansions, however, spells have given both players and NPCs the ability to add melee procs (such as Spirit of the Leopard, which adds a high-rate direct damage proc), and to add defensive procs (such as Lassitude, which adds a defensive proc that can slow the attacker and heal the bearer).
