Is slotting the chance to hold proc in worth it? (Lockdown: Chance (15%) for +2 Mag Hold) I don't have much else to do with it (slot knockdown in firebreath maybe). I'm an earth/fire/fire dom nearing lvl 50. It would proc 6 times over the course of the power no?

For something persistent like Choking Cloud? Yeah.
For a fire and forget short term like Volcanic Gases? Not so much.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

The trick to it is that Volcanic Gasses will already layer with itself, so it will often be holding bosses even without you telling it to. The upshot of this is that it's not like randomly getting a chance at an extra proc is going to be noticeable.

I'd say it's definitely worth it, especially with the prevalence of all boss spawns and EB's mixed into Incarnate content.

Also, an important thing to consider in this is that Volcanic Gasses spawns multiple pseudopets with a small AoE hold. Each time one of the pets spawns and uses its power it will be another opportunity for the proc to fire.
