I've gotten my Fire/Fire Blazing Brat up to the 40's, and have learned to auction and craft for fun and profit. To the point where I can actually start buying those shiney purple things. So I'm really lusting after Ragnarok, in a Mila Jovovich covered in chocolate sort of way. I'm wondering if it would work better in Fireball or Rain of Fire. Does the Knockdown proc only work on the initial hit, or does it have a chance with each tick? Seems like that would be too much nerfworthy fun, but wanted to Ask The Experts before plunking that rascal anywhere.

Procs checks against every target affected by the power once per 10 seconds per individual activation. For instantaneous effects like Fireball and Fire Blast, this means it checks just once. For longer term effects, like Rain of Fire and every toggle in the game, this means that it will check once every 10 seconds. Because Rain of Fire lasts 15 seconds, it will check once upon the first tick and again on the first tick after 10 seconds is up.
Honestly, it depends pretty heavily on what you want the proc to do for you. Personally, I've never really put much trust in it so I don't use the proc at all. If you really want to use it, Fireball is the power you want to put it in. You'll use Fireball more than twice as often as you'll use Rain of Fire from a pure recharge standpoint.
Thanks for the info! I'll put it to good use as I "arrest" miscreants with bone scorching flames.

I have learnt me some smartness this day.
I find that its very satisfying from a visual standpoint in Fire Breath.
I love breathing fire so hard I knock the enemy over.
Yea, Ragnarok is really good at making an attack feel "powerful". Fireball is fun as well, with a BOOM followed by a chunk of guys flailing to the ground.

I put it in Fireball and LOVE it! Fireball's graphic is one of an explosion, and when one or more of the mobs get tossed up into the air, it's just seems sooooo right!

.67 mag Knockback is knockdown. Knockdown isn't actually a status effect of its own. It's simply Knockback with a mag below .75.
knockdown - i have it in fireball as well and its the sauce.
