    Details : Fizzle rate formula seems all over the place, I have been trying to work the numbers, and here is what I have. I haven't tested with all types of armor and stuff, pretty much Cloth / Bone and Wands / Staves / Shields.

    Here is the fizzle rates off the gear I had my hands on for this test

    Cloth Chest 0.0%
    Cloth Legs 0.0%
    Cloth Gloves 0.0%
    Cloth Boots 0.0%
    Bone Chest 12.0%
    Bone Legs 3.0%
    Bone Gloves 6.0%
    Bone Boots 3.0%
    Empty Hand/Off Hand -10.0%
    Wand -15.0%
    Shield 10.0%
    Staff -30.0%

    My Avatar has a level 80 Follow Through Skill giving me a base -10% Fizzle

    Here is my Data, first things is gear I was using, then the 1st number is the standing still Fizzle Rate, and the 2nd number is the running fizzle rate. Running has a clean +29% Fizzle rate across the board but the gear combinations make the fizzle rate increase in wierd increments. I used the chain lightning spell as a tester but noticed the same changes in all the spells.

    Full Cloth + Empty + Empty 0.00% 17.50%
    Full Cloth + Wand + Empty 0.00% 0.00%

    Why do I get a 17.5% difference between these 2 when only difference is a wand (-15%)
    Full Cloth + Empty + Shield 3.00% 32.00*%
    And here a 14.5% Increase compared to empty handed when shield is +10% and empty hands is -10%?
    Full Cloth + Wand + Shield 0.00% 24.80*%
    And now My -15% Wand gives me a 7.2% difference compared to shield and no wand, and a 24.8% compared to no shield?
    Full Cloth + Staff 0.00% 0.00%

    Cloth + Bone Chest + Empty + Empty 5.90% 34.90%
    Now compare this with cloth chest, I should see a 12% increase, but running numbers show a 17.4% difference??
    Cloth + Bone Chest + Wand + Empty 0.00% 13.20%
    Cloth + Bone Chest + Empty + Shield 20.40% 49.40%
    Cloth + Bone Chest + Wand + Shield 13.20% 42.20%
    Cloth + Bone Chest + Staff 0.00% 0.00%

    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs + Empty + Empty 10.30% 39.30%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs + Wand + Empty 0.00% 17.50%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs + Empty + Shield 24.80% 53.80%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs + Wand + Shield 17.50% 46.50%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs + Staff 0.00% 0.00%

    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs & Gloves + Empty + Empty 19.00% 48.00%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs & Gloves + Wand + Empty 0.00% 26.20%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs & Gloves + Empty + Shield 33.50% 62.50%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs & Gloves + Wand + Shield 26.20% 55.20%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs & Gloves + Staff 0.00% 4.50%

    Cloth + Bone Chest & Gloves & Boots + Empty + Empty 19.00% 48.00%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Gloves & Boots + Wand + Empty 0.00% 26.20%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Gloves & Boots + Empty + Shield 33.50% 62.50%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Gloves & Boots + Wand + Shield 26.20% 55.20%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Gloves & Boots + Staff 0.00% 4.50%

    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs & Boots + Empty + Empty 14.60% 43.60%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs & Boots + Wand + Empty 0.00% 21.90%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs & Boots + Empty + Shield 29.10% 58.10%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs & Boots + Wand + Shield 21.90% 50.90%
    Cloth + Bone Chest & Legs & Boots + Staff 0.00% 0.10%

    Full Bone + Cloth Helm + Empty + Empty 23.30% 52.30%
    Full Bone + Cloth Helm + Wand + Empty 1.60% 30.60%
    Full Bone + Cloth Helm + Empty + Shield 37.80% 66.80%
    Full Bone + Cloth Helm + Wand + Shield 30.60% 59.60%
    Full Bone + Cloth Helm + Staff 0.00% 8.80%

    I left a couple notes in red, but didnt go through the whole thing, but the same issues show up the whole way down. I dont know how the math works behind the scenes for this, but it is clearly not what we are expecting...

    5. Steps to reproduce : Equip different kinds of gear, look at fizzle rate for spells
