IO set proposals

[@T3h Ish]

Just a few ideas really.
We're severely lacking diversity in the Accurate Healing, Accurate -ToHit, Accurate -Defense, and honestly, every type of CC set as a purple set so, I figure we could use one for Fear as well.

PVP ToHit Set, 15% Resistance to -ToHit debuffs.

Open to suggestions for the proc.

Accurate Healing set, kinda focused on powers like Siphon Life, or Dehydrate, but can still be used for Twilight's Grasp, or similar healing powers that require a ToHit check.

Expanding reasoning.

Purple Fear set, still kinda finaglin' with ideas but, the Contagious Confusion-like Terrorize effect with a -ToHit tacked on could be interesting neat.

I mainly wanted it to give non-traditional resist suites relative to other purple sets that met the theme of Mot / Dark Astoria, as well as a set that gave Endurance/Recovery rather than the standard HP/Regen of other sets.

the amount of calculations that must go into new sets and their bonus' to ensure game balance is preserved is ineffable. 

that being said

yes plz!

I'm not sure if it's possible or balanced, but to go with the theme give the proc a chance to convert the next attack into an autohit power, unable to miss.  That gives PvPers a shot at someone running Elude-level defense and PvErs something to use against Paragon Protectors or purple patch enemies.  Now that's Unerring Aim!

I'm pretty sure that will never happen. I don't know for sure, but the devs seem to be trying to maintain the same basic approach as the Live devs did, and the Live devs were adamant about players never getting an autohit attack. Autohit debuffs? Yes, but not autohit attacks.

The base duration of most fear powers is very long to begin with. Enhancing that duration by 97% has virtually no value. I would cut the fear enhancement and increase the range and accuracy enhancement.

Entirely valid, yeah. The extraneous fear was sort of roughly following the same Enhancement value formula as Ragnarok, Unbreakable Constraint, Apocalypse, etc. with the very main IO set enhancement increases overall if you were to 6 slot it, or take a different 5 set combination.

I have long advocated for a %Contageous Fear; the existence of such a piece would greatly improve the viability of single-target Fears in the layer game.

[@T3h Ish]

Just a few more proposals.
Breath of Life's proc would be similar to the Defender ATO, but only be flagged to affect nearby allies from you in a 15ft radius.
As per usual, tried to follow the general formula for purple sets terms of enhancement values towards the primary set category type.

And a PVP Recharge Intensive Pet IO set, with a semi reliable -DMG proc and unusually, % control for pets that may have some CC available in their kit.
