Call of the Sandman Proc

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere - I couldn't get the search function on the forums to work without a Timeout!

I was wondering how useful the Call of the Sandman chance of self heal proc is in Mass Sleep powers? Does it have a chance of going off for each foe it hits?

I ask because I have been playing around with builds for some new tanks who will probably take the Earth Mastery pool and some new controllers and dominators.

Looking at wiki it only has a 10% chance of going off but if it does have a chance of going off with each foe hit that may not be so much of an issue.

Anyway - peoples thoughts or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Yup, it has a chance for each person hit, i use it as a health top up on my TA/A defender in poison gas. It's not gonna save you if your taking direct damage but if you take a bit each mob as an enemy or two escapes the trollers/tanks it can be handy just to whack a few hp back on.

Thanks for the replies guys! Very much appreciated

And now I want to try and fit in Poison Gas arrow on my Mind/TA toon just so I can have a healing arrow to!

Ahhh...I remember the old days, back when inventions where just thiiiiiisssss high. Back in the days before Ice Melee got it's buff. Back when Frozen Aura was just a sleep, and the Sandman Proc hit every mob, every time. Man, those were the days. Sure, it was still a crap power by itself, but with the proc, it meant I never had to run armors. Those were the days, I tell you.

I use it on my mind/storm to somewhat compensate for the fact that I have no other way to heal myself. I also dropped one in Mesmerize, which is just once chance for the proc to go off, but I use it a lot. The proc is no replacement for a defender with a healing power, but it's a lot nicer than not having it.

I also use it as a self-heal on an FF/Sonic. Howl-Repulsion Bomb-Siren's Call to open on spawns, and any damage taken in response to the Howl is nearly always cured, because multiple prockings are common.

I've got a Son/Ice Blaster who, when I'm finished building him, will have 3 Call of the Sandman procs in AoEs (Siren's Song, Frozen Aura, and Flash Freeze), and 5 Entropic Chaos procs in single-target attacks (Scream, Chillblain, Shriek, Shout, Screech)



(Of course, he's not yet high enough for Frozen Aura/Flash Freeze, and I dont have all the Entropic Chaos procs yet...)












HEAL ME! =O
