How often does Distortion field pulse/activate?

I'm trying to crunch how much the average damage of a proc slotted into the power would yield, but no idea how often it 'attempts' the hold or reapplies the slow. It's not at redtomax.

Hopefully someone knows.

I could be wrong, but I'd bet that any proc slotted in Distortion field would only have a chance of firing when it's activated, not when the chance to hold fires.

On the chance I am wrong, this is what I got off from Mids'

5.95 second hold(Mag 3) to Target (2% chance after 0.25 seconds, to Critters if not delayed)

Hope you are wrong, but now that I think about it, you are probably right.

I would guess that procs in Distortion Field either get one chance to fire when the power is activated, or at best get a chance to fire every 10 seconds (which I believe is how similar field powers like Caltrops work?).

DF is a click power. All click powers check once on activation and, if applicable, every ten seconds after that. Note the "if applicable" part. Any click powers with a duration less than 10 seconds don't get a second proc (technically, if a melee attack had a duration longer than 10 seconds, it would get a second check...these don't exist, however and would be a terrible idea!)

WHat do you mean? There are melee powers with durations, why, I know of at least one with a 17s duration!
