I was informed that no procs work in OSA. Is this true?

I thought that procs only worked in the power before it was lit but I'm no TA expert...sit tight and wait for the pros to arrive lol.

Personally, I never bothered with a proc in it as I 5 slotted with posi's and a recharge IO or 5 slot Ragnarok but I have heard alot of people using Achilles Debuff proc in it and it working well. Not sure but I would assume the others (Chance of _____ damage) would work the same as well. I know OSA is complicated in the mechanics itself but otherwise, procs working in it are one of the few bugs it doesn't have presently.

Good question, I never tried. I have a Posi set in it but in place of the proc I added a recharge IO.

Could the Posi energy damage proc target the pet and ignite the oil slick?

No, it will not do that. The fact is, most would agree that recharge outweighs most procs in OSA with the exception for for the Achilles Debuff. Now you could try others and see how well it works but.. imo, the procs just aren't worth it. Keep in mind that the proc plays off oil slick itself, not the fire tics as far as I know. Basically, think of it this way. When you use OSA on a group and begin to see them fall, for every knockdown, there would be a chance for that proc to go off. The fire from setting OSA is in itself a seperate event.

So basically do for recharge and damage?

To answer the original question in the thread: Procs do work in Oil Slick Arrow, but in a quirky way.

Defense Debuff set procs and Slow Movement set procs are tied to the lifetime of the actual Oil Slick (the pet that causes the -Defense and -Speed). Damage set procs are tied to the lifetime of the Fire. So procs from damage sets will only activate while the fire is already lit.

Anyone put Malice of the Corrupter set into it? Looks good on mids, but I hear all sorts of strange stuff about the procs on these sets.

I tested it on the beta server, and I was happy with the results. Thank you everyone for the replies
