Dear Devs: New Enhancement Set Idea and Request

[Dogooder]

I'd love to see a new 6 piece set:

 

1. Perhaps for Halloween/Scream-O-Ween/Hallow-Scream-Fear effects.

 

2. I'd love to see a new Universal Travel Power 6 piece set, perhaps Holiday based (like Halloween), with a final special effect buffing any number of non-travel effects (Damage, Providing a specific damage proc, etc., something valuable to all which is generally damage). A new 6 piece Universal travel power would provide additional choices when making characters and add variety to builds. So the travel set would boost travel powers, and like the universal damage sets provide a universal valuable special effect.

Both of the existing Universal Travel sets are 3 piece. Of the regular travel sets (Flight, Leaping, Running, Teleport), one of each type is a 4-piece set (with one piece being unique) and two are 3-piece sets. There simply aren't enough attributes to enhance in travel powers to warrant a 6-piece set, nor is it likely that players would want to devote 6 slots to a travel power just for set bonuses and/or a unique enhancement. Demand for the 4 existing travel uniques seems pretty tepid.

I think Uun is correct.   I have sometimes used all four pieces from a travel set (Hypersonic & Warp), but it's not the most efficient use of slots.  (Main use for four slotted Warp is the End Reduction & Range boost, but that can be done otherwise)

 

The Winter's Gift Uniq is used a lot, but I tend to toss it into Teleport target.   Not sure if I have a single char with more than that Enh from the set slotted.

Unless you had an enhancement for each type of travel?  1 Jump only, 1 Run only, 1 Fly only, 1 Teleport only... I'm not sure what kind of mileage you'd get out of 6 options for travel.

 

Now, a Trick or Treat taunt set, finally one with end reduction in it?  Gimme!

...  a proc that summons a warwolf that runs around after enemies - for as long as an ATO pet usually stays out - and has two fear attacks 1) an AOE howl and 2) a single target roar?

So it can get out one AOE howl when the proc hits and a couple of single target roars as it chases some enemy around.

While Slide and Hover could be broken out as separate or subordinate attributes or categories, e.g. Deep Sleep and Sleep, I find dictating what Devs should do exactly works against a request or suggestion. They are creative and smart and can certainly produce alternative to build variety, boost the value of investing in movement powers, and add deliciously hard choices and options when allocating enhancement slots.

Sliding is just running using a different animation and Hover is just slow flight with defense boosts and improved flight controls. How and why would they be broken out?

 

Edit: Near as I can tell, Deep Sleep was added to make sleep powers more attractive to players and not render them useless on many teams. Who needs running and flying to be made more attractive for players to take?

I suggest you look at the enhancements in the other travel sets and what they do. Beyond speed and endurance cost, there’s not much to enhance.
