    That's a good question. I guess we'll know in about 12 hours or so.

    Proc coefficients are used for LoH, skills that have a "chance to x," and items that have a "chance to y."

    So yes, it effects LoH. All the good proc skills got pretty much eviscerated, except apparently for acid rain.

    I don't see any text in there about the plague of toads coefficient. *Crosses Fingers*

    If toad got nerfed too, that is the death of tankdoctor. Which is pretty lame. So now pets can tank but the WD can't.
