How do you slot Caltrops (procs)?

So I am thinking of rolling up an AR/Dev Blaster with the changes coming to blasters. I understand Caltrops is a great place for procs. What options are there that work well?

I'll leave efficiency to others and just note that my all-time favorite is the Ragnarok: Chance for Knockdown.

dunno how 'good' it is, but it's hands down the most fun. =D

I find it usually does Knockback instead of Knockdown; mobs go flying out of the caltrop patch :/

Impeded Swiftness: Chance for Smashing
Blaster's Wrath: Rech/Chance for Fire
Positron's Blast: Chance for Energy
Javelin Volley: Chance for Lethal

This means you're either fighting stuff you outclass or that is vulnerable to KB.

How does that KD work out in 'trops? Whenever a target first enters the patch, every 10 seconds or what?


Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars

Weird, I haven't had that problem unless I'm fighting low cons.

Caltrops is my second favorite spot for that proc, just behind Rain of Fire.

The overwhelming force proc should be good knockdown fun in it too.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):
