Force Bubble and Force Feedback

OK, my understanding of the game mechanics are somewhat limited, and I've been getting differing opinions from players ingame... If I slot Force Bubble with the Force Feedback Chance for +Recharge proc, when and how often does it have a chance to activate? Every 10 seconds? Every time Force Bubble hits an enemy?

Any help is appreciated.

As i recall it checks against all enemies inside its radius when it first hits an enemy and every ten seconds after that it checks again against each enemy in range.

Force Bubble is a Repel power that does not take any speciality IOs at all (sadly).

The power you're thinking of is probably Repulsion Field. Repulsion Field is a power that affects enemy, so the way the proc works is it fires upon activation and every 10 seconds thereafter for every enemy that happens to be in the field. Because the power is knockback though, this basically means "very, very rarely."

An interesting note about Repulsion Field, by the way, that I just learned. The power is specially flagged so that any enemy knocked back by it always flies backward the same distance. You can slot knockback IO sets in it which result in making it easier to overcome enemy Knockback Protection without actually increasing the distance the enemy flies.
