Since Rage is a click power, the chance for Build Up roll is only made when you click it and lasts for 5 seconds after that [but applies to all attacks you make for that 5 seconds] . .so not as much help as if you put it in a power that's alway on (it would roll every 10 seconds) or used in a power which recharges faster so you would click more often.

Now for Rage, I just threw in Gaussian's full set when I hit 50 a couple weeks ago. The idea was to see if the Chance for Build Up "Gives a 5% chance to have a "Build Up" power effect the caster" affected all my attack powers. The other alternative is that it just affects the one power Gaussian is in, and since Super Strength RAGE does no damage of itself, would be useless. Unfortunately, Brute damage numbers already swing so wildly I cannot judge if it ever happens Does anyone know if the Gaussian's chance for build up is doing me any good in Brute rage? |

Basically, no. The Gaussian's proc will only check each time Rage fires/is clicked, which mean you only have a 5% chance for it to work every couple of minutes depending on Rage's cycle time.|

The main reason to slot the proc is to get the 6th set bonus, but it is somewhat more useful in faster cycling tohit buffing powers like Follow Up. Since it's a unique i would not put it in Follow Up if i was going to slot the Gaussian's set in another power, and i would otherwise slot Follow Up as a normal attack.
Also, i would suggest looking just a little bit lower in the forum list and reading and asking question in the Archetypes and Powers forums. Your most recent question would be a good fit for the Brute forums.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Blue Centurion, I did the same think for my Shield Defense/Super Strength tanker, and yeah, it only procs 5% of the time after you click Rage. That being said, the 6-slot bonus more then makes up for it.

Open your Combat Attributes window, and set yourself to monitor Damage Bonus. You can either keep the main window open and see all sub values and test when you click Rage, or you can keep the aggregate on in your monitor. Brute numbers may swing, but you can get a pretty solid idea of what they ought to be at different times, and see if it goes higher suddenly.
