while I'm at it, in addition to the ones you mention, Golgi Exposure (Heal / EndRed) works great in the Peacebringer - Luminous Aura - White Dwarf - White Dwarf Sublimation

Does anyone know if the "mez" portion of hami-o's affects slows? Ideally I could slot endoplasm (acc/mez) in lingering rad (visions of slotting for the equivalent of 3 acc, 3 slow, 3 recharge...mmm, PvP nastiness...) Somehow I doubt this would work, since slows are generally considered a debuff.

Perhaps microfilaments would work (thinking the travel power buff is treated the same as tohit/def buff/debuff i.e. interchangeable)? I don't really need the end reduction on LR, though.

Any help is appreciated.

Debt barely slows down levelling these days. It's just a little bar that measures how much Awesome you've generated recently. (If you're not getting debt, you're just not trying to generate Awesome hard enough.) -Kelenar

I'll see what I can find out. Info is pretty scarce .. one of the reasons I started this guide in the first place. ;-)

*Updating as I find out more*

Uplink_OoT did a great job a while back, compiling a list of Hamidon Enhancements. What I'd like to do is put together a list of which powers the more 'Exotic' HO's can help. I want to be able to tell people "'X' HO affects these powers ...". Help fill in the list with whatever you can.

Easy ones:
Nucleolus Exposure - Damage and Accuracy:
-Too many to list. If you don’t know what can use this, you shouldn’t have bought the account. ;-)

Centriole Exposure - Damage and Range:
-See above. (Note - the range portion of some melee attacks cannot be increased, even though they may affect a larger than normal range. Be sure the power normally accepts Range + Damage enhancements before slotting this)

Ribosome Exposure - Increase Damage Resistance and Endurance Reduction:
-All – Power Pools – Tough
-APP - Blaster - Electrical Mastery – Charged Armor
-APP - Blaster - Force Mastery - Temporary Invulnerability, Force of Nature
-APP - Blaster - Fire Mastery – Fire Shield
-APP - Controller - Fire Mastery – Fire Shield
-APP – Defender – Dark Mastery – Dark Embrace
-APP - Defender/Controller – Psychic Mastery (Defender) - Mind Over Body
-Defender/Controller - Kinetics - Increase Density
-Defender/Controller - Sonic Resonance - Sonic Barrier, Sonic Haven, Sonic Dispersion
-Defender/Controller - Storm - Steamy Mist
-Defender – Dark - Shadowfall
-Peacebringer - Luminous Aura - Shining Shield, Thermal Shield, Quantum Shield, White Dwarf (does not cost much End, might be a waste), Light Form
-Scrapper – Dark Armor – Murky Cloud, Obsidian Shield, Dark Embrace
-Tank/Scrapper – Invulnerability – Temporary Invulnerability, Unyielding, Unstoppable
-Tank – Stone Armor – Brimstone Armor, Granite Armor
-Warshade Secondary – Gravity Shield, Twilight Shield, Penumbral Shield, Umbral Aura, Black Dwarf (does not cost much End, might be a waste)


Microfilament Exposure – Travel Speed Increase (Run, Fly, and Jump) plus Endurance Reduction:
-All - Power Pools - Hover (Takes minimal end), Flight, Group Flight
-All - Power Pools - Speed, Super Speed
-All - Power Pools - Leaping, Combat Jump (Takes minimal End), Super Leap
-Defender/Controller - Kinetic - Speed Boost
-Defender/Controller - Kinetic Inertial Reduction
-Defender/Controller - Kinetic - Siphon Speed (bonus -speed/recharge debuff on opponent)
-Peacebringer – White Dwarf (Probably not the best place to put these, Dwarf has something akin to Combat Jumping) , Quantum Flight (There are reports that Q-Fly is already at the Fly Speed cap, in which case this enhancement would be useless) , Nova, Group Energy Flight
-Peacebringer Inherent powers - Energy Flight, Combat Flight
-Scrapper – Super Reflexes – Elude – Not optimal slotting, but can use this.
-Warshade Primary - Umbral Blast - Dark Nova (Probably not worth slotting Fly)
-Warshade Secondary – Black Dwarf (Probably not worth slotting for this)

-There is a Debate as to whether you should slot these into Fitness -> Swift or Scrapper-> Super Reflexes-> Quickness. If you use Fly, you might benefit from Slotting these here, as they can serve as both Run Speed AND Fly Speed enhancers.

-Peacebringer - Luminous Blast – Gleaming Bolt, Glinting Eye, Gleaming Blast, Radiant Strike, Proton Scatter, Luminous Detonation, Incandescent Strike, Solar Flare, Photon Seekers, Dawn Strike, Nova/Dwarf Inherent attacks (Def Debuff is not large, but if you are slotting for Accuracy, you can use this in its place for some additional benefit)

Membrane Exposure - Increase ToHit and Defense Buffs, and Increase Attack Rate:
-Any Aim/Buildup type power

-APP – Defender – Dark Mastery – Soul Drain
-Controller - Illusion Control - Superior Invisibility, Group Invisibility - Def buff, Recharge Reducer

-Defender - Dark - Shadowfall – Def Buff, End Red
-Peacebringer - Luminous Blast - Build up (not as useful as Membrane, but can be used here) , Bright Nova (Nova doesn't cost much, but if you have these and are slotting for ToHit anyway, you might as well reduce it even more) , Combat Flight (Though the End usage is so low this may be a waste of a Hami-O, depends on your specific usage and build, though)
-Scrapper - Dark Armor – Cloak of Darkness (not recommended slotting, but can use 2 aspects)
-Scrapper - Katana – Divine Avalanche - Def Buff and End Reduc
-Scrapper – Martial Arts – Focus Chi – ToHit buff and End Reduc (Not optimal slotting, though, as power is not high in End usage)
-Scrapper – Super Reflexes – Focused Fighting, Focused senses – Def Buff, End Red
-Scrapper – Super Reflexes – Evasion – Def Buff, End Red
-Tank/Scrapper - Invulnerability - Invincibility (uses all 3)

The reply I got to the question was vague ("Not that I'm aware of... "), but I'm fairly certain that it does not affect Slows.

It looks like Singularity got dropped from Peroxisome Exposure:

Controller – Gravity Control: Singularity

It's one of the better uses of a Peroxisome IMHO, as the damage and mez capabilities of Sing are significant.

Thanks for looking into it, HeyTiny. It was just a stab in the dark. It's not like LR isn't awesome with "merely" SO's anyway, lol. I appreciate the effort!

Debt barely slows down levelling these days. It's just a little bar that measures how much Awesome you've generated recently. (If you're not getting debt, you're just not trying to generate Awesome hard enough.) -Kelenar

Sorry to post right after myself.

Excellent call on the peroxisomes, AD! Don't know why I didn't think of this for my grav/ff. My singy is currently slotted 3 dam, 3 hold. Since singy also spams immobs, 3 peroxi's would be like having 9 slots for the cost of 3. While immobs aren't the MOST useful mezzes, they can certainly help, especially considering I'd be getting the benefit of them while being able to REMOVE 3 slots, lol. Awesome!

Electricity Manipulation
Peroxisome Exposure & Endoplasm Exposure:
Shocking Grasp (good damage & hold)
Charged Brawl (20% chance to Sleep (mag 3) probably not worth it)
Havoc Punch (50% chance to Sleep (mag 3) probably not worth it)
Thunder Strike (50% chance to Stun (mag 3) -probably not worth it)

Endoplasm Exposure only:
Lightning Clap (50% chance to Stun (mag 2) PBAoE)

Also, Broadsword/Parry seems to have gone missing form Membrane Exposure & Cytoskeleton Exposure.

Yeah, if you read through the thread, it was added, then it was disputed, so I removed it. Putting it back in now, especially if you've confirmed the bonus to it's damage.

Added Broadsword/Parry back in .. it's another that has been disputed, but I'm adding it back in.

Who can use Electricity Manipulation? Blasters, right? let me know, and I'll add it in.

The real question for Electricity Manipulation is: does a Damage / Mez or Accuracy / Mez effect Endurance Drain? If it does, it's very effective in certain powers in that set.

Sadly, neither Peroxisome Exposure nor Endoplasm Exposure has any effect on endurance drain.

Endoplasm Exposure - Accuracy and Mez: (ie: Hold, sleep, stun, etc, but NOT knockback)
-Controller – Gravity Control: Crush, Gravity Distortion, Crushing Field, Gravity Distortion Field, (Wormhole? not sure), Singularity


[/ QUOTE ]

I'll confirm Wormhole for Endoplasm Exposure. It's a really good use case, as Wormhole takes both accuracy and disorient duration enhancements... in additon to a variety of other enhancements. My Wormhole on my 50 Grav is currently slotted: 2 endo, 2 recharge, 2 range.

*Updating as I find out more*

Uplink_OoT did a great job a while back, compiling a list of Hamidon Enhancements. What I'd like to do is put together a list of which powers the more 'Exotic' HO's can help. I want to be able to tell people "'X' HO affects these powers ...". Help fill in the list with whatever you can.

Easy ones:
Nucleolus Exposure - Damage and Accuracy:
-Too many to list. If you don’t know what can use this, you shouldn’t have bought the account. ;-)

Centriole Exposure - Damage and Range:
-See above. (Note - the range portion of some melee attacks cannot be increased, even though they may affect a larger than normal range. Be sure the power normally accepts Range + Damage enhancements before slotting this)

Ribosome Exposure - Increase Damage Resistance and Endurance Reduction:
-All – Power Pools – Tough
-APP - Blaster - Electrical Mastery – Charged Armor
-APP - Blaster - Force Mastery - Temporary Invulnerability, Force of Nature
-APP - Blaster - Fire Mastery – Fire Shield
-APP - Controller - Fire Mastery – Fire Shield
-APP – Defender – Dark Mastery – Dark Embrace
-APP - Defender/Controller – Psychic Mastery (Defender) - Mind Over Body
-Defender/Controller - Kinetics - Increase Density
-Defender/Controller - Sonic Resonance - Sonic Barrier, Sonic Haven, Sonic Dispersion
-Defender/Controller - Storm - Steamy Mist
-Defender – Dark - Shadowfall
-Peacebringer - Luminous Aura - Shining Shield, Thermal Shield, Quantum Shield, White Dwarf (does not cost much End, might be a waste), Light Form
-Scrapper – Dark Armor – Murky Cloud, Obsidian Shield, Dark Embrace
-Tank/Scrapper – Invulnerability – Temporary Invulnerability, Unyielding, Unstoppable
-Tank – Stone Armor – Brimstone Armor, Granite Armor
-Warshade Secondary – Gravity Shield, Twilight Shield, Penumbral Shield, Umbral Aura, Black Dwarf (does not cost much End, might be a waste)


Microfilament Exposure – Travel Speed Increase (Run, Fly, and Jump) plus Endurance Reduction:
-All - Power Pools - Hover (Takes minimal end), Flight, Group Flight
-All - Power Pools - Speed, Super Speed
-All - Power Pools - Leaping, Combat Jump (Takes minimal End), Super Leap
-Defender/Controller - Kinetic - Speed Boost
-Defender/Controller - Kinetic Inertial Reduction
-Defender/Controller - Kinetic - Siphon Speed (bonus -speed/recharge debuff on opponent)
-Peacebringer – White Dwarf (Probably not the best place to put these, Dwarf has something akin to Combat Jumping) , Quantum Flight (There are reports that Q-Fly is already at the Fly Speed cap, in which case this enhancement would be useless) , Nova, Group Energy Flight
-Peacebringer Inherent powers - Energy Flight, Combat Flight
-Scrapper – Super Reflexes – Elude – Not optimal slotting, but can use this.
-Warshade Primary - Umbral Blast - Dark Nova (Probably not worth slotting Fly)
-Warshade Secondary – Black Dwarf (Probably not worth slotting for this)

-There is a Debate as to whether you should slot these into Fitness -> Swift or Scrapper-> Super Reflexes-> Quickness. If you use Fly, you might benefit from Slotting these here, as they can serve as both Run Speed AND Fly Speed enhancers.

Golgi Exposure - Heal and Endurance Reduction:
-Anyone with a Medicine power pool Heal,

-Defenders/Controllers with a Heal power (Radiant aura, Twilight grasp, etc.)

About the putting Membranes in Vengeance. I tested this myself a while ago, and even though Vengeance doesn't normally accept recharge reductions, Membranes will reduce the recharge.


Issue 16 made me feel like this.
Warning: This poster likes to play Devil's Advocate.

I can also confirm that. (re: reductions in recharge using membs in vengeance)

I spotted a minor omission that would be pretty obvious. I recently started an Ill/TA, so it has gotten me thinking about the set.

Endoplasm (Acc/Mez)

-Defender/Controller - Trick Arrow - Ice Arrow, EM Pulse Arrow

Also, I am not sure that Illusion's Spectral Terror will take ToHit or Defense Debuffs (I will try to check), but if it does, then Lysosomes would work and actually be a better fit than Enzymes. ST definitely benefits from Accuracy. Either it should be in both or neither.

Added Trick arrow, thanks.

Remember - it's not a guide for what is 'better'. It's for what is 'useful' (though you can always say "increase to 'X' is negligible").
