When I first saw the article on Paragonwiki, it did not match my experience or my testing of the proc. So I retested *and* examined the design of the proc specifically, then discussed the proc with Castle. To the best of my knowledge, that proc does not have suppression, never had suppression, and never had any mechanism remotely related to suppression. What it does have is the specific feature that it cannot stack with itself and cannot refresh itself. So when its triggered, you cannot get the benefit of another proc until it expires.

But I slot this proc in my energy blaster, which is to say I slot it in *everything* on my energy blaster: power bolt, power blast, energy torrent, and explosive blast. I also have global recharge in my combat attribute monitor so I can see global recharge constantly. When I'm in a position to be using AoEs a lot, the proc is up more than half the time.

Mechanically, the way it works is this: the IO grants a 10% chance per target hit of granting you a passive power that buffs your global recharge by +100% for five seconds. However, this power has a limit of one, which means you can only have one copy of the power active at a time. If the FF proc fires while you still have this passive power active, that next proc will simply be wasted: you won't get any benefit at all.

Theoretically speaking its possible to have the proc up almost perma, but in practice it won't happen. At some point the proc will fire and grant you 5 seconds of +100% recharge. While that is up you cannot get any additional benefit from the proc. The moment it expires 5 seconds later, you can benefit from the proc again. If, at that moment, you fire an attack and the proc fires, you can be buffed again. So nothing prevents you from getting the buff over and over again, one after the other, continuously. But random chance and your attack chain will likely conspire to make that unlikely most of the time: the proc has to go off at just the right time for you to get the buffs back to back to back.

But high-speed energy blasters that cycle torrent and explosive blast can see *very* high uptimes in high density maps: since the proc has a chance to go off per target, the odds of the proc going off when you use torrent or explosive blast will be much higher than 10% if you are hitting lots of targets.
