caltrops slotting

Hi all.

I was reading over some AR/dev builds and saw a couple different procs in caltrops. Can anyone provide comments on their experience with which procs they found most useful? I was enticed by KD, but also thought that might go well in full auto. Any input would be welcome!

I put the ragnarok knockdown proc in caltrops, and positron chance for energy damage in full auto (actually the full posi set)

I did this for 2 reasons.

1)trops still needs enhanced for recharge and slow

2)the other ragnaroks Ive come across I've put into LRM Rocket

Just to complete the triple play

Here is another way of looking at it. Don't slot procs at all in it. Slot it for either Acc/slow or Recharge if you need it. Its a control power and even procced out isn't going to do much for your damage output.

BTW KD is very nice in full auto especially if you are planning on a set of 5 in there. It gives you that little bit of mitigation during the long animation

This is pretty much my attitude. Caltrops is ok with no extra slotting but I'd rather slot it for some recharge and slow than damage procs. I use Caltrops to keep enemies out of my, the extra damage it contributes through procs is not particularly useful compared to the damage output from my primary.

Do you have it slotted somewhere else already? You can only have one in your build.
