Naive question about Procs: Chance for ?? damage

I never used procs and Im curious about...
If I slot an Armageddon: Chance for fire damage, if the proc actually "tics", do I actually see fire FX burning the mobs? I hope you guys understand me.
Want to know if I use Foot stomp with this proc slotted, I will actually see flames. Same for energy damage.
I guess not, it would be too damn cool, but was just asking it to my self for a while since those enhancement are so expensive.
Thank you in advance.

No, there aren't any FX that are triggered for damage.

Some procs (chance for hold, chance for resist debuff) do have visible signs that they're working, though.

Thank you.
It would be kick *** to had those FX working with procs, btw.

It would be for some, for others it would break their character concept.

It would be kinda funny seeing my Martial Arts Scrapper catch enemies on fire by dragging his heel on the ground during Dragon's Tail like a match lol. But yeah, very much against his concept so if effects like that get applied, I'd hope they'd be optional. It would be kinda funny, though.

It will show an extra tic of damage, however.

Well, if theres a proc with a chance of fire damage, I think it should "show".
I actually think it could be cool to see flames.
Then, if you dont like the chance of fire damage, dont slot the proc.
That proc, that doesnt show fire doesnt make any sense to me at all.
"Illusionary fire"..."Invisible DoT fire damage"... Kinda lame the way it is then.

Or, for that matter, an ice tank setting its enemies on fire.

As Korinth said, there are a few procs that do add a graphical effect. In particular, the Lockdown +2 Mag Hold and the Decimation Chance for Hold show up as a Tesla Cage. The Gravitational Anchor Chance for Hold causes the foe to float, just like the hold animation for Gravity's single target hold.
