Can't say for sure, but I believe that, like any other toggle, it will only have a chance to fire once every ten seconds.
I have no idea whether it would require that a target be in range or not.
Where to now?

Theoretically it should need people within range, which is going to be a bit of an issue given what it does.|

Only way to be sure is to test it though.

It does need a target. Not only that, but it needs a target in range at the 10-second interval. The 10-second interval keeps counting continuously, but if you don't have a target in range at the right time, it still won't proc, and the next cycle will start. So, you could have 19.99 seconds between attempts at the proc.|

The fact that Repel will push its targets out of range doesn't help, either.

I guess, then, that its saving grace is that when you first turn the power on it will check against every enemy in range. Which could be a lot.

Yep Repel is screwed on the proc front for the reasons mentioned.
Additional random fact. Repel (and clones like Repulsion Field) is the only power I know of that has a locked-in knockback strength. Enemies that are higher or lower level than you don't fly a shorter or (I think, based on observation) longer distance. I'm not even sure enhancing it for knockback distance does anything.

Sigh. Thanks for the info, FW. I was looking for a reason to take Repel now that my Kin guy has a couple extra power slots. I guess I still don't have one. :/|

Let the Repel enthusiasts commence with their defense!
Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.
The market & invention forum didn't know, so I'm popping over here with my question:
If I put the Force Feedback +Recharge Proc into Repel, does it check its chance to activate on a continual basis, or only when a foe runs into the field?
Help me, Obi-Wan! You're my only hope!
