Back on topic. Can we slot, for example, My pets with ranged atacks sets. Or my protector bots with some of the defence buff sets? would they benefit? would anyone benefit?

I hate to disappoint Stalkers out there, but Sting of the Manticore can only be slotted into Sniper powers, not Assassin Strikes. I don't know where that rumor started.
Assassin Strikes can slot in sets that are made for Single Target Melee powers.

I suggest it would be a good idea to add a set or two meant specifically for Assassin Strikes - stuff with good Intrrupt Reduction, like the Sniper sets have. Presuming you haven't, already.

In turn, they got their information fom the leak on the U.K. boards, several months ago.

Dr. Brainstorm, is LRM from Munitions Mastery considered a snipe for the purposes of Snipe IO sets?

So far, there's no reason to believe anything other than that IOs obey the same slotting and enhanceability rules as regular SOs, separate from their other special properties. So if an Assassin's strike set was created that had interrupt reduction as one of its members, I don't think it would actually do anything in an AS attack anyway: AS attacks' interrupt period can't be reduced by slotting.

My guess is they said they were snipe/strikes because, for the most part, AS attacks function like snipes.

I believe that came from Iakona. See this post.
Given he's been quite accurate in the past, and has connection to the raw data, I would ask the good Doctor to recheck his information. Either Doc is wrong, or the data is wrong that Iakona has.

Even if the data does say that, if it's not what the devs want I highly doubt they won't change it.

I just went there and removed that "Assassin Strike" reference, based on the good Doctor's comment.

You and Iakona share my thanks for the information and presentation - I'm already using that as a wish-list of sorts. ^_^

Shouldn't there be an IO set for AS? People are slotting it fairly similar to snipes (when they get ho's and open up slots). Using mele IO's for AS ignores the need for interrupt redux in this interruptable power (i believe).
AS is pretty much a mele snipe (good oxymoron?).

Looks like most melee attack sets aren't 6-slots in length, so you can always put a separate IO into them...
