Does frankenslotting for procs make a significant difference?

[the mauler]

In actual gameplay how much difference does frankenslotting procs in blasting powers actually make? (are there numbers from the game showing a significant difference) Mids shows them at a 50% chance to proc. Is it worth slotting procs at the expense of getting, say defense? from slotting the 5th or 6th slots from set bonuses? Thanks for any responses.

They do, especially in ST powers. An excellent "proc monkey" is Dominate. That power can get 5 extremely good procs and do 400-500 damage mostly from procs and significantly improve a controller/dominator's ST chain or even those with access to a psychic pool to get that.

 

This question is highly dependent on the build. Sometimes the procs far outweigh the benefits of getting a 4 or 5 set bonus, sometimes they do not. It depends on what you're sacrificing and gaining. 

 

There's lots of proc information out there, @Booper has spoken at length regarding proc information if you're curious :)

It adds burst in actual gameplay. Throw a blast and instead of doing 100 damage it suddenly does 250 (100 from the blast, then two procs go off usually at 70 damage a piece). In pylon terms changing from 'normal' slotting to triple procs on my Sentinel shaved two minutes. That's a lot of extra damage.

Mids is wrong in their proc calculations. They'll fix it someday.

I'd suggest you go take a look at this topic. Since Corruptors are reverse-Defenders, you'll be able to apply all of that information.

 

The TL;DR of it is, yes, Procs are worth it for Corrs/Defenders as it significantly upscales their damage potential.

Procs make a big difference.   I’m experimenting with them now for my MM. my damage has gone up quite a bit
