Great post Uber, you answered questions I didn't know I had!

Awesome Sauce...thank you very much for clearing that up! I did indeed slot Dark Despair Chance for Recharge Slow and your answers reenforced what I though should be happening. Thank you again, UberGuy 
One thing I realized I didn't mention is that, when a proc checks for activations, it likely only checks whether it goes off on valid targets the area of effect of powers its slotted in. For example, Darkest Night has a maximum number of targets of 16. Even if more foes were caught in the 25' radius, a proc slotted in it probably cannot check against more than the 16 affected foes. This is supposition on my part, however. It seems logical, but I've never tested it.

Just on Cloud Senses, that will only PROC on powers which use Accurate -ToHit won't they? So just Tentacles & Twilight Grasp will PROC, since they're the only 2 powers which require a ToHit checck and do -ToHit. Chill of the Night and Darkest Night won't get to use it (or will they? My Necro/Dark MM really would like to know |

One of the best things to slot in Dark Servant for frequency of triggering is a Dark Watcher's Despair: Chance for Recharge Slow or a Cloud Senses: Chance of Negative Energy Damage, because so many of the Servant's powers apply toHit debuffs. Particularly, the Chill of the Night aura he uses is always on, autohit and wide-area.
A toHit debuff proc will check for activation off once per target per 10 seconds in the aura and once per power activation per target in powers like Tenebrous Tentacles and Twilight Grasp. Other procs will check when the powers they could be slotted in on a player are activated. The proc doesn't have a radius of effect, but rather has a chance to affect everything hit by the power it is slotted in. What the proc delivers to a foe does not matter, but it does matter what kind of set the proc is in. You cannot slot damage sets in Dark Servant. If you slot something like a hold set's proc in him, it will only go off when he uses a hold, etc. |

I strongly suspect they will work, because the powers perform the function that the set enhances. (Accuracy isn't something powers do as much as something powers have.) However, I haven't tested it myself.
