My fire/rad has it slotted there. I Love it.
Do it and never look back
Yeah, got one my self. It works great, and with the Tesla Cage visual you really notice it's effectiveness.
Choking cloud is 6s for defenders, 7.x for controllers.
It rolls every 5 seconds, I believe
Lockdown is a 5 second hold in PVE
It should check every 10 seconds like any proc in a toggle.
Haven't tried this yet myself.
Hold enhances should not increase this hold duration as far as I know, but if there's some bug that has enhance affect proc values...
<ul type="square">[*]How long does the hold from CC last? - CC's Holds are Ranged_Immob Scale 4.0. Which means they last 7.45s at level 50 for a Controller, 5.96s for a Defender and 4.77s for a Corruptor.
[*]How often does it pulse? - Every 5 seconds.
[*]How long does the Hold from Lolkdown last? - 8 seconds (doesn't vary by AT).
[*]Does it roll on each pulse, or does the standard 10 second suppression apply? - The 10s rule applies.
[*]Do Hold enhancements in the power increase the duration of the proc Hold, the way Heal enhancements boost the +Regen in Numina's? - The Hold in the IO is tagged to ignore Enhancements and Buffs. So Enhancements, Set Bonuses and Power Boost type powers will not affect it.[/list]
[Edit: Fixed a typo in the Defender Hold duration.]

Oh, one other thing, the chance to proc is 15%, not 20% as your table indicates.

Woah, lockdown is 8 seconds? Gravitational Anchor is 5, right?
**runs off to get lockdown procs**
No, Gravitational Anchor is also 8s in PvE. So is Devastation.

I was away from the game when I made that post, and was going from memory. The numbers should be close still.
Thanks all for the answers.

I'm trying to decide how to slot Choking Cloud, and spotted the Lockdown proc.
By itself, Choking Cloud has the following magnitude:
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>
Mag 0 10%
Mag 1 40%
Mag 2 10%
Mag 3 40%
</pre><hr />
So it will hold Underlings 90% of the time, minions 50% of the time, and Lieutenants 10% of the time.
Adding the Lockdown proc (should) have the following effect:
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>
Mag 0 8%
Mag 1 32%
Mag 2 10%
Mag 3 40%
Mag 4 2%
Mag 5 8%
</pre><hr />
So now, Underlings are held 92% of the time (2% increase), Minions 60% of the time and Lieutenants 50% of the time (10% increase each), and Bosses are held 10% of the time.
So, where it matters, I have a 10% increase in the Hold affecting a target across the board, or so it seems. A few things muddy the water.
How long does the hold from CC last?
How often does it pulse?
How long does the Hold from Lolkdown last?
Does it roll on each pulse, or does the standard 10 second suppression apply?
Has anyone tried this before, and if so, how well did it work for them?
Do Hold enhancements in the power increase the duration of the proc Hold, the way Heal enhancements boost the +Regen in Numina's?
This isn't a cheap enhancement. I just wanna make sure it's worth it before I do this.
