How do procs work with toggles/passive abilities?

[khy]

I asked this over on the Help forum but got no answers, and let's face it - Masterminds are big brain know-it-alls so this is the next best place to ask  ;D (Also my main is a MM so I like coming here where people give me build advice)

 

Just wondering about this. Let's say I put Preventative Medicine : Chance for +Absorb into Suppress Pain, Pain Dom's PBAoE Healing Toggle power. Does this mean every tick of the power has a chance to grant +absorb? What would happen if I put that same IO into Health, instead?

 

Or if I put Performance Shifter : Chance for +End into Stamina, does this grant a permanent +End boost or does it mean that whenever the recovery ticks happen I get a chance to get +End for however long?

In the case of performance shifter every tick it checks to see if you got a proc, if so you get a little bit of recovery as a buff with a duration

[Williwaw]

Performance Shifter in a toggle or auto-power checks every tick, usually every ten seconds.  (The effect, incidentally, doesn't have a duration; it grants Endurance immediately whenever it procs)

 

Preventative Medicine isn't a Proc - it's a Global, which means it's always on whether you're using the power it's in or not - so it doesn't matter where you put it, it has the same effect anywhere.
