Call of the Sandman Chance for Heal on Cast on per mob hit?

So if I use Chance for self heal on an AOE power, does the 10% chance fire for each mob hit or just on my single casting?

Every mob. Realize, though, how very small the heal it is, even if you hit a few targets.

I had it on my Sonic/Mental Blaster, in Siren's Song.

I really didn't notice the difference at all - you still get an occasional little boost less than a small green inspiration, despite it hitting multiple targets.

If you think of it as a minor +Regen increase its OK I guess.

It didn't work as an emergency heal though. If I was getting in over my head, a quick Sirens Song at a pack of bad guys never fixed up my health bar in a way that made me feel safer.

Then again, I had Aid Self and eventually Personal Force Field, so any help that the proc did offer was negligible compared to that panic button combo.

Give it a go. You may like it more than I did.

Like other minor sources of regen, it works better as an overall plan to build regen.......just treating it as yet another bonus.

Call of the Sandman is a pretty good, if underutilized, set. It may not be what you're looking for in Siren's Song, depending on your overall slotting strategy, but it is a fairly cheap source of extra recharge, hp, and end. The downside there is that the purple for sleep sets is pretty cheap, too......so it usually gets the nod over Call of the Sandman.

I put mine in frozen aura on my /ice tank, and it does help basically as extra regen.

I also use it on my FF/Sonic's Siren Song, and with softcapped range/AoE it's nearly always enough to heal back damage from a medium-sized spawn, and lets me open Howl - Shockwave (if the right situation) - Siren's Song.

In my Sonic/Ice/Elec Blaster I have Sirens and Frozen Aura slotted with Sandman and all my single target blasts slotted with Entropic Chaos for a total of 5 healing procs.

It won't save you if you get overwhelmed but if you open with Sirens, miss a few, and take a partial alpha, by the time you are done with the spawn you'll be back at full health. I was able to skip the medicine pool on this blaster and rely on the procs, the slows in /Ice and the 2 AoE sleeps.

The nicest thing about putting the Entropics in the tier one and two blasts is that if you are hit with a sleep and one of them procs the sleep will break.

I'm not sure regen procs, the one I use regularly is in Entropic, are a true source of significant healing. That said, every bit counts.

I would not pick it up except getting all five Entropics gives me 6.25% rech.

Damage procs, however, are fun to watch go off.

ETA: heal proc breaks sleep? Brilliant. I didn't know heal broke sleep. I'll remember that on my ill/ w O2.

Yup. There are some quirky ways to heal while slept (like Corruptors heal aura) thus breaking sleep.

But IMHO, the self heal is unreliable and of low magnitude. I tried it in a Mind Controller.... junked it.
