Numina's Convalescence Help!!!!!!

Okay, I saved all my in-game cash, transferred it to one Uber toon, and decided to dive into I/Os. Now I am lost, lol. Todays question is about Numina's Convalescence, the Regeneration/Recovery one that gives "Adds a 20.0% bonus to regeneration rate and a 10.0% bonus to endurance recovery rate for 120 seconds." And my question is this, If I drop that into High Pain Tolerance, a passive/always on power, will it have any effect. According to a page on ParaWiki "Since Procs work when the power is activated, then they continuously work when slotted in a Passive Power or in a Toggle that's turned on. Procs that are in continuous powers cycle or pulse on once every 10 seconds. This is also true when they work in certain pseudopets like 'rains' or 'patches' that have an enduring effect. If slotted in a click power, Procs activate just once for the duration of their effect." Problem is I do not believe this. Too good to be true and all that. I can afford the Numina, I can even afford to buy and sell it if I do not need it. But there are only so many respecs....

Hmm, seeing as how i run a Willpower brute I figured it would buff out my Healing and End engines pretty nice (everything counts in large amounts), or is this another 20% that when you drop it in your numbers go up about as much as if a flea took a leak in your gas tank?

All the procs of that type work best in any "always on" power... slotting them into a passive is far and away the best choice.

Here's a small rundown on procs:

• Some procs have a set bonus to them; the Steadfast Protection Resistance/+3% defense unique is the one that comes to mind, that always work no matter what power they're slotted in or if the power's on or not. The Luck of the Gambler 7.5% recharge proc is another example of that type... as long as you don't exemp more than 3 levels below the level of the proc it will always work.

• Other procs are the "120 second" variety; they offer their bonus when a power is activated and for 2 minutes afterward. The Numina unique, Miracle unique, Regen Tissue unique and the various stealth IO's all fall under this heading. For the Numina Regen/Recovery, the Miracle Recovery and the Regen Tissue Regen unique IO's always put them into a passive power so they're active at all times.

• The various attack procs all have a chance to affect your target each time you use the power they're slotted in... lets say you have the Decimation - 20% chance to hold proc slotted into a ranged attack. Every time you fire that attack there's a 20% chance that the proc will fire a MAG 3 hold lasting 8 seconds. A proc that has a chance to do x type of damage works the same way... if an attack with a damage proc slotted hits there's a % chance that it will deal extra damage.

It should probably be noted that the regen/recov values of the health uniques are enhanced by the slotting of the powers you slot them in. So while on a brute you've got no options for enhancing the recovery, the regen can be almost doubled.

Indeed. Not sure if that is WAI, but that's definately how it is working and has been for quite some time.

If planning a build using that in mids though, note that mids is using the pre-ED capping values for the procs, and in game they use the normal capped enhancement.
