I suppose if you have the slots to spare, but I wouldn't go out of my way
/gignore @username is the best feature of this game. It's also probably the least used feature.

and procs work off a percentage like the chance for +end has a 20% chance so if you slot it in Stamina every second is a +20% chance for +end if that helps?

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

This is what I was worried about. Are you only referring to the +end proc, or if I slot a +dam proc in a damage aura, can it only proc 1 time per 10s as well? If the latter, is it per mob or only 1/10s even if I have 15 mobs its hitting?|

Every 10 seconds your toggle is active, it will roll to see if the proc happens on any enemy in range.

Where to now?

I've not found the damage procs to be worth it in damage auras. I tried it for a bit, but it was really underwhelming. Now I frankenslot dam/end and one acc/dam/end and call it good. If I had slots to spare, then maybe a proc of some kind could go in there, but that hasn't happened to me yet.
A non purple damage proc averages 14.4 damage at level 50 (72 damage at 20% chance of procedural). Damage auras, as stated above, check for procs once every 10 seconds despite ticking for damage once every 2 seconds. This would mean that adding a damage proc would increase your average damage by 1.44 points per second that an aura is active, or by 2.88 points per tic of damage that an aura inflicts.
I don't employ them. One thing in favor of damage procs is that their damage is applied in bursts of 72 points, which can be a nice little boon when the proc actually fires. I still feel it's a wasted slot. I had an Ice/Earth Dominator that ran 5 damage procs in Arctic Air and 3 on Mud Pots just for fun. Even with 8 damage procs running from PBAoE auras, it was still not all that great.
You also have to take the damage aura itself into consideration. Some of them *cough* orbiting death *cough* have low enough damage that trying to buff it isn't all that useful.
Second, once you have accuracy, endurance, and damage where you want them, if you have extra slots, procs are the only way to get more performance. Frankenslotting into your aura you can max it out in 3 - 4 slots easily. At that point, if you have the room a proc is pure gravy. Before then, the damage might be a better return on investment.
