Although I'm using a Rad/Fire brute build (I got from here) in the example above, this post is actually more general---not particular to that build or AT. However, I don't know how to ask the questions I have without having an example and explaining what I'm getting at first.

 

I have made my Rad/Fire brute after that build. I've boosted all of the enhancements that are possible to boost, however there are a few that are not "boostable", but ARE possible to attune: should I attune the unboostable enhancements?

 

I'm going to take a guess and say that I probably should NOT attune any that are in a set (like "Preventive Medicine: Absorb Proc" in the "Healing Flames" power), because I read somewhere that attuned and unattuned enhancements are not considered to be the same set, but separate, so attuning one enhancement of the set but not the others would mess up the set bonuses. Am I correct in my understanding of that?

 

I really don't know about the other enhancements though that are not being used in a set, but just the single enhancement for it's proc. Examples of what I'm talking about:

"Fury of the Gladiator: Chance for -Res" in the "Burn" power in the build above

"Panacea: +Hit Points/Endurance" in the "Health" power

In fact, every proc enhancement in that build is unboostable, but is attuneable.

Would it be good to attune those single enhancements like the Panacea proc?

Am I correct in my understanding of that?

I just cross-checked in game with my SR/MA Tanker (Redlynne) and verified that having an attuned Dam/End Pounding Slugfest and an non-attuned (Level 15) Disorient proc Pounding Slugfest in the same power unlocked the 2 slot set bonus just fine.  The limitation is that non-attuned enhancements have a "fixed" Level on them, while the attuned enhancements will "float" within the range of the set.  So long as your current Level (active/exemplar/whatever) is no more than 3 Levels below whatever the level of the enhancements you've slotted is, then you get the set bonus for those enhancements.  Attunement simply allows the Level on an enhancement to vary (within the range of the set itself) as you Exemplar, rather than keeping it pegged/fixed at a single Level.

 

In that respect, attuning works out well for most enhancements in most sets, but for procs that do only one thing (the proc effect) there is no benefit to attuning them if you acquired the proc at the minimum Level for the set.  So if the set has a 30-50 Level range and you buy the damage only proc as a Level 30 enhancement, there is no useful benefit to attuning that damage proc ... but you would want to attune the rest of the set (just not the proc).  However, if you acquired the proc for that set as a Level 50 enhancement, then yes you would want to attune it so that you wouldn't lose the set bonus from the proc slot every time you Exemplar below Level 47.
