Which Proc for Footstomp?

Hi,
it's between the obliteration damage proc and the force feedback +100% recharge for 5 seconds proc. I have about 30% recharge in my Ice/SS build. I read on Paragon wiki that Force Feedback got neutered, and now is routinely suppressed to the point of being useless. Is this true? Which proc do you guys think I should get?

Thanks so much for your help.

Or, the Taunt Set Psi damage proc. Nothing like hitting the floor so hard you ram the guy's brain into his skull.

Are you limited to just one of them? On my SS Brute I have the Force Feedback and Armageddon procs slotted in FS.

I went Force Feedback and never looked back.

I went with the FF +recharge in Fault on my stone/stone for both the recharge and the bonus speed I got from two slotting FF. You can put multiple procs in any power, just not multiple of the same one.

I think I did the Psi proc on EA for my Ice Tank... "Brain Freezing" them.

For Footstomp I usually go for heavier Recharge after I have damage and Accuracy where I want it. Haven't tried a Proc there, I'll have to check it out.

+Recharge Proc in Footstomp you say? Interesting.

*ponders*

Oh wait, you mean SS Footstomp... I gotta stop think of Frozen Aura as the Frosty Footstomp, I'm getting myself confused.

I don't expect much from the Force Feedback proc on my Stoner, but every little bit helps to overcome the -recharge in Granite, plus I get the little bit of little bit of +runspeed with FF double slotted. Both wins for a Stone Armor tank. Small wins, but wins non the less.

Don't get me wrong. I use it on two of my tanks. But it is not as hot as it looks on the paper.

I think the suppression is only if the power is used every 5 seconds or less in which FS is the perfect power to slot it in. On my high recharge SS/Fire the proc goes very often. With Hasten, the recharge of Foot Stomp is something like 5.7 seconds or so and becomes 4.5 seconds when the proc goes off. I've had the proc go off 3-4 times in a row for the full duration.

Forget what I said. I've done some testing with my Shield/Superstrength tanker on a +2/x8-Council map. And for the first time since lvl 26 I didn't use Shield Charge as my opening move, so there were enough minions left after my alpha strike to let the Force Feedback Proc in Foot Stomp (regular recharge Time 10 seconds) show its strength. It was better than good.

I use the FF proc myself.

I would say that if your playstyle sees you constantly surrounded by enemies, while you madly mash the foot stomp button - you want the FF proc.

But in single/few target situations, or teams with a slow pace - you really won't get much out of it.

I do believe I'm going to have to dream about trying that!

The FF proc is good, it feels like it goes off about half the time in decent sized groups and makes a big difference. I slotted one in footstomp and another in the epic energy torrent on my SS/WP, and they make a huge difference to the recharge of FS and KoB.

My ice/stone has 3 of them (fault/tremor/energy torrent).
