IO procs in Power Siphon - How do they trigger/tic?
My guess would be that it checks the proc when you activate power siphon. Assuming you aren't a valid target for a damage proc, I doubt it will do anything. Worst case scenario is that it would actually damage you, but I think they generally don't let that kind of thing happen anymore.
Judging from how the power is written, all it really does is apply a To-hit buff to you and set a flag on your character that allows the other Kinetic Melee attacks to activate their inherent damage damage buffs. In other words, any procs in the Power Siphon power itself wouldn't have any way of activating when you use other attacks, as the effect of power siphon is essentially just enabling the special effects of other powers, so it isn't really checking to see if those other powers get used.
So basically, if I am correct in my interpretation, the chance for Psi damage proc probably won't do anything at all, and the chance for build up proc will only check once when you activate Power Siphon.
The taunt sets bit can't possibly be right..

I'm pretty sure the Taunt IO's are a bug... If it is proccing, its going to be damaging YOU.
Procs in Siphon Power only go off when you hit Siphon Power, not your attacks. Not worth it in the least.
Siphon Power != Power Siphon. If Siphon Power could accept set IOs, I'm sure putting a damage proc in it would have a chance to affect the enemy it hits. (-:
Couldn't seem to find a thread on this topic, but I'll try to keep it brief.
if I stuck a Chance of Psi Damage proc into Kinetic Meele's Power Siphon power, or a Chance of Build Up proc into it, considering it's a self-buff but takes taunt and ToHit IO sets, and is boosted/powered by Kinetic Meele attacks, is the taunt effect adding to the attacks, and if so, is the taunt proc hitting on each attack?
And with the chance to build up, if it works as above, would it test for each Kinetic Meele attack used while under effect of Power Siphon? Would it test for all 10 hits in Burst? Or is it just going to check/roll when I hit the power?
