Achilles Heel proc

I was looking in MIDS last night and realized that there are 3 possible slots where I might place the chance for resist debuff IO in my Earth/Storm controller. Those would be Freezing Rain, Earthquake, and Tornado. I have a few interlocking questions regarding this.

1. Just because I CAN place them does that mean I SHOULD place them in all 3 powers?

2. If not, what powers would be the best to place it in?

Thank you guys!

Quake and Freezing Rain IMO.

In all cases the Proc will check every 10 seconds against everyone within the AOE of the effect. In Quakes case that's a 25 foot radius, and in FRs case that's a 20 foot radius, both from where you placed them. In Tornado's case it's a 7 foot radius from the things center, and it has a habit of knocking people away from itself.

Would it be a reliable proc though if used on AVs that will not be getting knocked around?

On an AV, sure - keep in mind, however, that the debuff from AH does not stack at all, so having multiple AH procs only increases your chance of debuffing a target, it won't increase the amount. If you have the spare slots and spare IO's sitting around go ahead and stick it in tornado as well. However, against a single hard target like an AV you probably also want to cap damage on tornado, as it does a ton of damage if it can focus on one target. If you have AH procs in freezing rain and earthquake I would make sure to put damage in tornado first.

Ahh thats very good to know. I didnt realize there was no stacking. I think that the 2 in FR and Earthquake should be sufficient then.

I was talking to a friend and he says he read something about the Touch of lady grey proc having a higher than normal chance for firing. Is that true or just a perceived thing?

The Touch of Lady Gray Chance for Negative Damage proc has the same 20% chance as most other damage procs.

In fact all 5 damage procs that can go in Freezing Rain have the same 20% chance to fire.
