Goodevening.
Just finished testing the 4pcs set bonus of the Grand Warden set using combat log and dummies. There are not any multiprocs from Fox Shift ,Thorn Ward or Rain of Arrows. It just procs on the first hit. Also it seems as though it cannot crit but that was to be expected. Unfortunately I was unable to test split the sky since the dummies insist on not hitting me back but I assume the same goes for this encounter as well.
In PvE I usually use SplitTheSky/RainofArrows/(ThornWard or FoxCunnig) While on certain bosses I switch out SplitTheSky for CommandingShot and ofc always have ThornWard in that third spot. Taking into consideration the fact that i constantly use both my ranged and melee encounterswould u say that I shuld just farm up a Royal Guard set?
Thank you in advance for your input.
Edit. I actually misuse the term "proc" even though it should be clear what I mean. I am ofc talking about the damage part and not the buff proc. Just to clarify.

But even that, for me, doesn't proc so much
About how often do you think it procs?
I was thinking of maybe trying to get this set once they nerf the pvp set and go for a more faster casting damage dealing style- Double thornward etc.
When many adds are dense (e.g. by CW's singularity), not often but sometimes it happens that I use rain of arrows two times in a row in 2-3 seconds - it's insane!
Well without enchs on armor, it procced ONCE during HALF OF A KARRU RUN. Imagine how many gazillions of adds I spammed with StS +RoA+Split, and do your math. I dropped it in disgust almost instantly (even stats were meh in comparison to my "All Blues" equip): now I use my pvp set (mix grim combat-archer), because who cares, really.
My guess is for pve you just go stack Lifesteal to 10%, get high crit and go with StS, for example.
An example of the difference the 4-piece Royal Guard set makes is when I run Phantasmal Fortress on both my Archer and Combat specs, with only the former having the complete set. I blow through the final boss in that Lair on my Archer and the bonus procs a few times wheras my Combat HR takes ages to down him as I just don't cycle through my encounters fast enough.
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
Really? My combat HR has no issues killing him and that... thingy before he can come back a second time. Takes just 1 rotation.
Well now that my Combat HR also has the Royal Guard set I do take down the boss and the phylactery in one rotation, although still not as quickly with my Archer.
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
First time I 1 cycled Phylactery was also with RG. But I moved away from it to a 1/2 &1/2 for optimal points and still 1 cycle it. But hey my GF 1 cycles it. I sort of use PF to test single-target build output...
Ack once in an entire run? That's awful.
So much for my mega-cooldown-reduction HR idea.

I imagine it would proc. It reads, "When dealing damage to a foe you have a chance to reduce all of your cooldowns by 30%." Since Wild's Medicine and Rejuvenating Swiftness both proc off of healing, it probably means that damages from all of your sources should proc Royal Guard.
Now the question is "Do you give up Soulforged for Briartwine?" 2-4% of damage returned really isn't a lot.
It would totally be more viable if Briartwine returned 2.5/5/7.5/10% damage in PVE, while only returning half that value in PVP.
