Slayde Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) I've seen some videos where people split a set across two skills... say 3 pieces in two skills for a total of 6 pieces. When you do this, do you get two 3 piece bonuses, or the full 6 piece bonus? Edited February 7 by Slayde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminara Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 2x 3-piece. Bonuses only accumulate for IOs in the same power. 1 1 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, this is done with the archetype-specific enhancements, as you can only slot 1 of each per build, and some players prefer getting 2 of the bonuses for slotting 3 of them instead of the ones for slotting all 6 in one power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clave Dark 5 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Depends on what you want to do. I have one toon I wanted to build for as much damage as I could so I ended up "frankenslotting" a number of sets just to reach the "+2% damage" or something, then slotting up the rest to make sure it still had accuracy or whatever. Other than the ATOs though, as stated, it's not too common a practice as I understand it. ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.

Water Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Yes, it's always a possibility. Might just as well be economical and get a full set of six but I've split sets years ago. I tend to not do these days but it is always an option at the sacrifice of 2 set bonuses which may not be so beneficial if slotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the two-piece bonus twice, and the three-piece bonus twice. This is sometimes called frankenslotting and it can be very effective. Back on live, I built an invuln tank with over 350% regeneration from set bonuses. Since +regen is always the first bonus, and many of the sets are cheap, it was a very inexpensive build. It cost me under 30 million influence BACK ON LIVE. I had Brawl six-slotted with two pieces each from three different sets, as an example. I had the 12% bonus five times, 10% bonus five times, 8% bonus five times. I think you get the picture. No recharge buff, no defense buff but as much regen as a /regen scrapper, but on a tanks hit points. It was shockingly effective. 1 1 1 Originally on Infinity.

ZekeStenzland Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 IMO, the big winner for this is the Masterminds, who are otherwise shafted in ATO bonuses. The 2-piece bonus is a big global recharge bonus. Getting 3 copies of that is worth losing out on the other 4 set bonuses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
