Let's look at Doctored Wounds using two single-factor level 50 enhancements:
Heal - 42.4%

Recharge - 42.4%

 

Now, Doctored Wounds if we could use two Heal/Recharge enhancements:

Heal - 26.5x2=53%
Recharge - 26.5x2=53%

Now, if we had go up to Heal/Recharge/Endurance it would be 42.4% each for single-factor and 63.6% each for triple-factor.

Moving up to quad-factor you would have 74.2% each compared to 42.4% each.
In other words, you could get 175% of the performance from four quad-factor enhancements as compared to 4 single-factor enhancements.

 

But no set bonus.

 

Franken slotting tends to be only done with 1 or 2 powers anyway.

Can't do that to regular IOs either, so this shouldn't be a surprise.

Exactly! Which is part of what I'm aiming for. That and creating a little flexibility in what's out there. 🙂

maybe i am missing something but i can definitely +5 my recharge IOs in hasten, no i cannot catalyze them but if we are basing this off of normal IOs then you can absolutely boost them to +5 using enhancement boosters

 

unless you are basing this off of SOs...which are not IOs...then fair enough although your terminolgy is what led to my misunderstanding

I may have had catalysts in mind with that. You're right, you can boost crafted IOs.

 

I'd let the yes or no on that be up to development, though.

I think this is a neat idea.

I'd love to be able to make some enhancements with EndRedux/PlusRange, for instance. I was just poking at my blaster lamenting how few (single target blast) sets enhance range. Even the optimistically named Far Strike only gives have of one enhancement to range.
