The guide on IOs has this incorrect information:<ul type="square">
---->Unique IOs.
In addition to enhancing a power and providing bonuses, some IO sets may have enhancements know to some as "unique enhancements". These don't enhance the power like any other kind of enhancements, but rather modify its effect and/or your character.
Things to note with Unique IOs:
--Unique IOs trigger via the power they are in.
--Unique IOs only trigger based on aspect of the power that they enhance.
--Effects pets in a different way then most other powers.
Example:
- Slotting an Achillies Chance for res debuff unique into Burst, this IO will proc(set off based on a % pre-programmed occurrence)Will run it's chance to occur based of if the -def ability is present. Since the -def is always present there is always a CHANCE that this procs. This unique effect will happen only with burst.
- Certain powers run the chance to "proc" every 10 seconds instead of per use. These powers are typically things like toggles, long duration debuffs/buffs, and Rain powers. If you where to put a chance to stun proc in Lightning field(a toggle)it would run it's chance every ten seconds on every enemy, NOT when the orange dmg appears, that damage is not effected by the IO, as the IO effects endurance mod.
- You slot a miracle +recovery unique into health. This IO's effect will be "permanently on", as the power health is constantly active, and the miracle has 100% proc.
- You slot a chance for a LadyGrey chance for negative nrg dmg proc into Soldiers, from mercenaries. Any powers the soldiers have that do -Def will now also have this proc added to the power. It will not effect things like their grenades or the medics heal, as they don't have -def. Make sure to check out the powers of your pets to make sure they get a lot of use out of IOs before slotting them. This can be done by looking at the "power details" while selecting soldiers in the enh window.
-You slot a Sovereign right +res bonus into Commando. This power doesn't actually effect the commando directly, it grants YOU an aura that boosts your pets resistance. So ALL the pets nearby are now receiving +res.[/list]
First of all, we stopped calling Special IOs "unique IOs" when we realized they were not all unique. Luck of the Gambler 7.5% Recharge can be slotted many times over in the same build -- same with most damage procs.
Not all Special IOs "trigger via the power they are in." Some act like Set Bonuses in that they are always on, even if the power isn't activated and even if the power is greyed out due to exemplaring, such as those Special Pet IOs or Luck of the Gambler.
Proc does not mean 'pre-programmed occurrence', it's short for a 'special procedure'.

OH, good catch. I've been miss-interpreting proc for some time now >_< . I'll have to go back and rework the guide with this info. .
