Acid Mortar accepts Defense Debuff sets.
Slot Achilles Heel: Chance for -Res into Acid Mortar, reap the benefits of potentially slaughtering your opposition's resistances.
Also, the cance for build up proc will have a chance to proc when you place the mortar, this chance will affect you, placing a Build Up effect on you.
Then every shot it takes it will have a chance ot proc that will NOT affect you, this would affect the mortar. So ultimately its a wasted choice.
I heard the chance for hold proc goes well in it. But I would definately fit in the achilles heel, its golden.

Yep right after maxing recharge I'm looking to place 2 procs in Acid Mortar: 1) Achilles chance for -resist, and 2) Devastation chance for Hold. You can sometimes see a veritable field of "tesla cages" from the proc being triggered in AM.
As already mentioned, Heel is the best proc for it imo, but if you're looking for a non-support one, I'd look at either Touch of Lady Grey for Neg energy or maybe either pvp or purple procs from ST damage as they both have rare resisted proc damage pieces as well (Neg at a higher % and toxic). The Hold proc is also a very viable choice.
Edit: Shield Break proc does lethal damage (meh), but has some nice set defense buffs to Melee and AoE. Not to mention recovery, accuracy, and status resist.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't think of the Build up Proc that way. But it makes sense. I do have the Achilles heel Proc in there atm.

Achillies is buttah. I also run the Devestation Hold Proc and the Purple ranged Dmg Proc. Note the Dmg Procs have a chance to hurt you when you set the Acid Mortar down. I've yet to kill myself with it, I'm sure I will at some point.
Wait... what?! Seriously? A chance to damage yourself when you lay it down? Is it only for Acid Mortar or does Poison Trap have a chance to do that too?
What about the the other procs, like the chance to hold?
I was thinking of doing Achilles Heel and Devastation. Is it worth it to slot a damage proc in there vs Poison Trap or not at all?

Its only Acid Mortar that I've seen and its only been tested with the purple Ranged Dmg Proc from me. Devastation Hold Proc works great combined with the Lockdown +Mag2 Proc in Poison Trap. I would highly recommend those two (Achillies/Devastation). As for the Purple ranged Dmg Proc I'm thinking this might need testing. In theroy Acid Mortar fires off Multiple AoE's and it should have a chance to proc once every 10sec's in its 60sec duration equaling 6chances. As for the Devastation Holding "you" when you set Mortar down....IDK... we have mez protection from FFG. The Chance to Hold does work on enemys and it works multiple times ie: it checks once every 10sec's.
I run Dmg Procs in Poison Trap and that works fine. I've never tried Procs in Seekers but I seem to remember some funny stories of Proc's gone bad in it long ago hahaha.

Yep. The great thing is when you team with people who are unfamiliar with the procs. "Is our elec blaster going friggin' nuts?!"

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
I did some searching and didn't see an answer for this.
I was considering putting in Decimation Chance for Build up Proc in Acid Mortar.
I am wondering does it have a chance to go off for each mob hit by Acid Mortar or just when it fires ? Since Acid Mortar has a 10 shot capacity Just looking for what the best proc to slot in it atm.
BTW I only have room for 1 Proc. Its a defense cap build, so thats all I have atm for Acid Mortar. I know many will be chiming back to slot it with many Procs. I would if I could though.
