more recipes varity

[DREAMERS]

Good morning 
I know that my request must have already been asked several times but when will we have several recipe models?
by this I mean the choice of being able to have full damage/mezz recipes
damage/hold
damage/imo
damage/stun
damage/sleep
damage/confused
damaged/endu
damage/def debuf
damage/hit debuf
because we all know we have dominant controllers or even characters who have mezz powers which also slot them into damage see in hamidon origin damage/mezz 
so it might be time to create some to give players the choice to make full line recipes

If you want more damage instead of increased mez duration (which you get from many of the mez related sets), use damage enhancements.

If the mez power doesn't do damage, you can put a damage proc in it - if damage is what you want.

It'd be nice to have a sleep set or two aside from the purple one, with something like debuff to proc re-sleep on target damage. Would go nicely into things like mesmerize or the psi blaster one, make salt crystals and non-pulse sleeps better (i.e. not arsenal control or elec control).

 

Also, recipe variety?

 

This!

Eh. There's a case to be made for them - for more sets, that is, as a lot of the less populated categories are very much copy/pastes of the same setup. For instance, stuns:

Other than the proc? They're the exact same (obviously can't see set bonuses here.) (Also ignoring the purple, but it's still not *that* different.) If I want non-proc damage in an attack that does a stun, I'd have to frankenslot.

 

Of course, creating a set with "Damage/stun" is - like hamis - not going to *add* damage to a power that doesn't *do* damage. For that, yes, you'd need a proc.  But a bit more variety in some of the set families wouldn't be bad.

Mhm, like the endurance-ey ones they added, but end drain isn't strong enough a soft control, because the monsters seem to cheat with end slivers - but they make SHOCKED go off. Enough to justify their use? No, sadly.

⦁    BUT WHY STOP THERE?... PURPLE OPTIONS FOR KNOCKBACK AS WELL.
⦁    CONVINCED ME WITH THESE WEEKLY 'PURPLE' THREADS.
⦁    EVERY AT SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO CHOOSE FROM AT LEAST 2 OR 3 PURPLE SETS IN THEIR EPIC/PATRON POOLS.
⦁    THE SUPPORT ATs NEED MORE OPTIONS TO INCREASE THIER LVL 50 STRENGTH WHEN FACING THESE 'BOOSTED' ENEMY FACTIONS.
⦁    PURPLES WITH INCARNATES AND P2W/LUNA ACCESS IS NICE BUT NOT ENOUGH.
⦁    HOPING WE CAN HAVE MORE OF THESE OPTIONS IN THE FUTURE.

Knockback has 5 different sets, Threat and Fear only have 4 sets each, so threat and fear deserve priority over Knockback IMO.

 

Knockback's level 20-50 sets include 4 pieces that boost Accuracy and five pieces that boost Endurance, whereas the 20-50 sets for Threat have only two pieces that boost Accuracy, and none that boost Endurance reduction, so Threat has priority over Knockback IMO.

 

If some combination of KB slotting is missing that could satisfied by a new set, I'm all for it... but Threat and Fear are just about in the worse case..

 

If anyone wants to play "whaddabout" :I recognize that "Accurate ____" sets are fewer, but those are IMO only really missing Acc/End pieces, but those powers that require ToHit checks don't have tremendous Endurance costs and the 20-50 sets generally provide lots of Accuracy boosts. I can't think of a PBAoE Heal or ToHit buff attack that I couldn't slot with some other set's Acc/---.

• CERTAINLY.
• AS SUCH:   PURPLE DEF AND RES SETS SHOULD PROLLY BE PRIORITIZED AT TOP OF THE LIST SINCE CURRENTLY THERE ARE ZERO PURPLE SETS OF THESE AVAILABLE.

The OP never mentioned "purple" anything.
