not very well.

My own Illusion Storm has 4 of these, one each in Gale, Tornado, Lightning Storm, and Psionic Tornado. It was an interesting build on paper... but in actual practice, the chance for is just that... a really low chance.

You honestly are better off using the other knockback set, Kinetic Crash, for it's guaranteed 7.5% recharge rate if that's what you want.

well im capped for 7.5% 10% 6.25% and ive squeezed in as many 5% as i could.

so i have the free slots to do it, was just curious if anyone knew how it worked in tornado.

is it on summon or on tornado's attack?

I used to use the Proc a lot but then I read this article on Wiki:

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Force_...or_%2BRecharge

Because it was overpowered it was given a cooldown period before it would activate again. So it wasn't really worth it and so I slotted a more useful proc (aka a damage one).

But Im not actually sure how often it will active. If it is like the damage procs work then I think it acts like a toggle, ie would activate every 10seconds. But I could be wrong.

But thinking about it, if you are capped for those three recharges then you will have 118% recharge which is enough for perma hasten so I don't think you need anymore recharge.

Also the +7.5% recharge from the Luck of the Gambler IO is different to a 7.5% recharge bonus from a set bonus. So in theory you can have two sets of five 7.5% recharges.

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

the proc is a 10 sec cooldown before it procs again, but thats per power so it should be ok.

There is no question that the "Rule of Five" applies separately to the 7.5% Recharge from several sets and the 7.5% Recharge in the Luck of the Gambler IO. Ask any Illusion controller with Perma-PA! That is often achieved with several LotG Recharge IOs added to several sets with the 7.5% Recharge.

I would assume that the proc has a chance of affecting you when you cast tornado, and then for the pseudo pet every 10 seconds while it is attacking a target.

Note that if it does proc after hitting an enemy, you won't see any external difference, since the attack rate of the tornado is an aura around the pet instead of a direct attack, so it ticks like hotfeet (tick rate is constant).

As far as Lightning Storm is concerned, it used to affect the cloud only (and a check for the caster upon casting once), but the devs nerfed all pet recharge so their attack rates are constant as well, and specifically (re)stated that the pet attack rate recharge nerf was targeted at Lightning Storm. Go figure.
