Wanted: Accurate Healing set with damage.

[Greycat]

No, I don't mean the Touch of the Nictus proc.

 

Every AT except Controllers, VEATs and Peacebringers have some powerset which has one (or more) "Heal attacks." Attacks which are melee or ranged, do damage to an enemy and are also a self heal. Typically these are in a dark themed powerset. If you take these, you either have to choose a damage set, a heal or accurate heal set, or frankenslot and try to make the best of it.

 

Given this is the sort of thing that can be used almost across the board, having an IO set which does both damage and healing (with the usual accuracy, recharge, end reduction) in the Accurate Healing category would be nice.  It would have to be a "universal" damage, so both the ranged (for instance - MM/Necromancy/Life Drain) and melee can use it.

 

I'd figure it would have to be a (say) 30-50 range set, just to make the enhancement values worthwhile. As far as set bonuses or what kind of balance among the enhancement values? Honestly, I don't have them in mind. Mostly a reasonable split between damage and healing with probably 1 - 1 1/3 IOs worth of accuracy over the whole set, everything else fit in as needed (or tweaked with set bonuses.)

 

I think it's something widespread enough to find useful, but niche enough to not really need more than one set as an option to what's out there now.

Would you also maybe want two sets? One that skews more toward healing, the other damage? Maybe one with a DMG proc that does DoT (bleeding), one with a chance for...some status effect. I haven't had coffee yet.

I like this idea.  Replace "Slow" with "Heal/Absorb" and then carbon copy the enhancement values/combos from the new Ice Mistral set.

I was already 3/4 of the way into my coffee. 😉

I was debating it a bit. To me, that would water it down a bit much - if we had more sets that had this combination, then yeah, I'd probably want that.

 

But that's just me. I'm kind of at the "I'd kind of like to see this, toss it out to see what people do with it" stage with it. 🙂

Well, like Power Transfer and Synapse's Shock would be the template here: one goes more end mod, one caps damage.
