Damage Procs and AoEs.

I have two questions regarding this.

1) Do Damage procs follow the rule of (10 second recharge)? As if once they go off they need 10 seconds to recharge for a change to go off again?

2) If a Damage proc fires off in an AoE, will all affected targets get the effects of it or just one of them?


I'm just looking to see if a damage proc in powers like Sleet/Ice Storm/Blizzard is a good idea or not.

Thanks in advance

Crap. Page failed to load when I clicked on "post" so I ended up posting it twice. Can some mod delete this one please?

This only happens in PBAoE damage toggles, or for pseudo pets like rain type powers.

Any targeted AoE or PBAoE that's merely a click can be spammed as often as possible.

Damage procs check separately and once per target per proc. For example, two procs would run two separate checks on every target hit.
