Yep, it does exactly that.
You can also slot the Devastation Chance to Hold to get another shot at holding a boss if you like.
The Lockdown proc also lets you know when it is working because the hold shows up as a Tesla Cage. I have one in Choking Cloud, where it is wonderful.

I also prefer lockdown for the +2% damage and thats from only 2. fairly cheap to accomplish
As a defender, your holds will recharge pretty slowly so the Lockdown Proc can be handy. You will also want to franken slot for Accuracy, Hold, and Recharge. If you want to reliably hold a boss, you will usually need to stack it, which is going to require hitting it, holding it much longer then the recharge time, and getting it back up quickly for the stack. You might look at 2-3 from the Lockdown set, and then 3-4 x Acc/Hold/Recharge from other sets.
Hey everyone,
I actually am a defender, but I selected psy elite pool so that I can have a few controller-like skills. One of these is dominate, the mag 3 hold skill (single target).
I chose to slot it with Lockdown set, specifically including the 'chance for mag 2 hold' enhancement.
My question is whether this enhancement makes the dominate skill occsaionally able to hold a boss (if it procs). In other words, on a successful proc, does the skill get a mag 3 + mag 2 = mag 5 effect? Thanks!
