I thought I'd crosspost this here, since ffxionline is the only forum with a decent search function:
In the process of leveling WAR today, I decided to use a LV34 Hydro Cutter +1 with a stack of Kilo Pumps (LV30).
Previously, I was under the impression that (like add'l effect ranged ammo) hydro pumps and wind fans proc'ed on every hit. As I'm sure many of you know, this is not the case. It seems to proc slightly more often than normal add'l effect melee weapons, but not by much. According to my log, it took 489 hits to use up a stack of 99 Kilo Pumps, for a proc rate of 20.24%.
However, the damage on it is pretty nice:

pic3
pic4
Parser shows 2236 total add'l effect for an average of 22.58 per pump, but I think that's pretty skewed; there was a Boreal Cesti MNK in the party, and some of my procs probably went to him (as well as others). Best case scenario: if I take all add'l effects for the whole party and credit them to me (which is obviously not accurate... just establishing an upper limit), I get 49.80 damage per pump. That's definitely high; if I had to eyeball it, I'd guess that the proc rate averages around 30ish.
Anyway, this might be old news... if so, consider it just reinforcing existing data.
