-No known formula exists for this but i suggest making this a dice roll within the range of D6 to represent a 1 in 6 chance of the mob becoming aggressive on the player if they fail or succeed at a sampling attempt and where the creature is still alive. I also propose that the chance of aggression be increased by lowering the roll range so as to support the observations that continuing to sample on the same target increases the likelihood of aggression.

There was reportedly an increase in the chance for a creature to aggro a player if the creature had previously been turned aggressive by the player due to sampling.

Each time they aggro the mob, the chance of causing aggression progressively increases to the point that by the third time, the mob will always aggro the player after a sample attempt.

Sampling a creature over challenge level 75 yields an automatic failure.
