Worth it to keep Perfect Zinger?

I have a couple of Invuln/ tankers that have the perfect zinger proc in their invincibility from ages past, and I'm perfectly happy with their builds (Inv/SS and Inv/DM respectively), but my question is: is it worth not respeccing and keeping the damage proc slotted or would you respec and keep playing with builds? As I said, I'm happy with their current condition, but there are a few things that I could tweak to perhaps improve on their survivability.

That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that.

I thought they "turned off" the Proc from PZ in Invincibility a while ago. If it's in there it's not doing much good. If that's the case a respec would be a better option to recover the IO and either use the slot somewhere else, or add a common IO Taunt (of course you could just put the common IO over the PZ Proc, but then you'd lose it).

I'd also like to add that in an aura the proc will only be allowed to check every 10 seconds. If Invincibility pulses every 2 seconds it would only check every 5th pulse. IF the proc still works in Invincibility you're probably going to see it proc on about 4% of the targets in your aura +/- 1%.

The proc still works. I've also had it proc on multiple mobs simultaneously.

Interesting... Did they change the bug that was causing the self stunning? Or, am I think of a different Proc? I'll check to see if I can slot one. Last time I tried I thought it was grayed out (Not allowed).

You're thinking of another Proc, the Zinger is Psi damage. It does work in Invincibility but as Rangle mentioned it will only check every 10 seconds (Invincibility pulses every second BTW). Personally I think there's better places to put the proc but it will work, and I believe that Taunt sets are once again allowed to be slotted in auras.

On CMA I have two Zinger procs slotted, one in Fault (5 Stupefy and the Zinger Proc) and the full Zinger set in Taunt. It is kind of fun killing a mob by taunting it; and it's a way to nail that MoG'd Paragon Protector.
