Invincibility and the chance for build up proc

Ok I have a db/inv I am playing in between my fie/sd I dropped it in there for now I may change my build around later (respec) but right now I am not 6 slotting the gussian anywhere in the build. Is it worth the placement long term in the build

I know it is 5% chance to proc does it follow that check every 10seconds for Invincibility or a different rule for checking the proc inside this power

Toggle, so once every 10 seconds it has the 5% chance to go off.

On average you'll get the buff once every 200 seconds.

I've got a CFBU in followup and another in focus, so I get the buff once a minute on average.

Pretty sure the general rule these days is that it's just not worth it to put in a toggle.


Be well, people of CoH.

Ok the numbers kind of jive with what I experienced playing last night with the guy no worries I am going to respec him in a few more levels I can replace it with another set and add more defense :]

If you put it in Invincibility it will have a chance to go off every 10 seconds, which seems better than putting it in BU or a click power with a recharge higher than 10 seconds. It really isn't though because a lot of the time it will go off when you are just standing there and don't need it.

If you really want to slot it, I would slot it in Blinding Feint (it really isn't very neccesary though). The only reason it should be in a toggle is so you can 6-slot the set for the +def.

I had that slotted on invis on my tank before I picked up focc acc and switched the slotting for HOs. I couldn't figure how it worked. Invis is a toggle but it isn't reconized as being activated until a mob is near. When I wasn't near a mob, it never fired. It did when I was near a mob. When I moved it to foc acc to get the def bonus, I think I noticed it firing off less in battle but it fired off all the time. I now wonder if this is a chance per mob like if you have it in soul drain or how the +end works in Dark regen just not stacking. Or is it acting like a toggle when the power is active and I was just lucky.

Putting numbers on it, the proc in a toggle is a 2.625% damage enhancement. With all the other damage enhancement flying around, you'd probably see not much more than a 1% boost to your damage output from it. If it IS a chance per mob, though, that could add up.

Well i will watch it since I have it in there for now and I am not going to respec until later so I will update what I see I may just have to download hero stats and see if it picks it up
