Achilles Heal question

I want to add some Achilles Heal -Res Procs. I was thinking of putting the first one in my Snipe. I am on a Rad, so the snipe is odd, damage over time. My question is: since the Snipe is a weird damage over time hitter, does the proc have a chance of firing on each tic? Can it fire on the first tic, and will that affect the rest of the damage?

Just once.

Achilles' Heel, and any procs for that matter are only checked once per power activation, and every 10 seconds on pseudo-pet powers(Sleet and Burn for example) or Toggle powers(Blazing Aura and Radiation Infection for example).

Also, Achilles' Heel debuffs don't stack so I'd generally just use one in AoEs and a couple single target powers you use often. The minimal gain from putting one in a snipe doesn't seem worth it to me since you generally just snipe once at the start of a fight and whatever you hit with it is probably going to be dead or near dead anyway unless it's a boss or higher (in which case you still aren't likely to be sniping it more than once).

Good point about not putting it in snipe. Yeah, i'll drop it in my three AoEs then, thanks.

If Achilles had a heal he wouldn't have been nearly as famous for his heel.

Achilles was probably Invuln. He should have had a heal. If he skipped Dull Pain, that's his own damn fault.
