You are dead wrong.
I get a ton of mileage and damage from freezing rain.
It's one of my most damaging powers.
Same with VC and quake.
I can toss out VC,quicksand,freezing rain and i watch stuff just die.
Or quake,quicksand and Stalagmites.
And i use cages for extra procs.
off the wiki
It's base recharge time. If you have a single target attack slotted with a 2 ppm IO, the power would need to have a 30 second recharge to have a 100% proc chance. You could then IO it to ~100% recharge and combine that with 100% global recharge bonus to get the power's recharge down to 10 seconds, and it would still have that 100% proc chance. This is how all of the store-bought IO set procs work, as well as the ATO procs that are not global bonuses.
Thats saying procs are based off of base recharge and adding recharge IO's dosn't effect the PPM
Yes ?
