Synapse's Capacitor New IO set Idea

Isn't about time Synapse got his own IO Set? And Isn't it about time Electric Oriented Power sets had an Endurance Modification/Damage set? Why not kill two birds with one stone? Here is how I envision it.


Synapse's Capacitor 30-50 Endurance Modification


2) +2.5 Recovery
3) +3.13% Energy Resistance
4) +5% Movement Speed
5) Recharge +6.25%
6) +3.75 Ranged Defense/Energy and Negative Energy Defense +1.88%


1)End Mod/Accuracy
2)End Mod/Damage
3)End Mod/Recharge
4)Acc/Dam/Recharge
5)End Mod/Dam/End/Rech
6)Unique Slow Resistance (20%) or Chance for recharge (10% chance)

I don't like the unique in the set as it eliminates the possibility of stacking the 6th bonus. Other than that, it's interesting.

If it were a unique 6th slot, you'd be able to get away with a fancier 6 piece bonus like the Gaussian's 6 piece.

I was keeping in the theme of the other sets named after signature characters, all of which have either procs or uniques. A proc might be a viable substitute as well.

Good point. But was looking at Numina's Convalescence, which has a unique and a +3.75 positional bonus as a model.

Well you keeping it in theme you could still go like chance for disorient or smashing damage. I would say energy but you already got that .

Chance for +recharge (10% chance) might not be out of line, but set already does have a 6.25 recharge bonus. What the heck, I'll throw it in as an alternate possibility in the origional post.

If it's unique, I think you'd be better served by making it a "set bonus" IO like the LotG +rech and 3% +def IOs. Something like 15% +recharge might not be too bad without completely imbalancing everything.

As to the 6 slot bonus, my recommendation would be to make it a 2.5% +def (melee/ranged/AoE) and 1.25% +def(s/l/f/c/n/e) just like the Gaussian's, otherwise I can see the set being used more for the unique/proc than for the actual set bonuses.

And make it more difficult to get for the electric based ATs who haven't had an end modification set with damage ever, at the auction house, no thanks. Looking for a balanced set, not one of the "primo" ones.

10% chance is the standard for +recharge, ala Force Feedback. I could see every regen and willpower scrapper putting on in each of their recovery toggles as is. 10% x 2 always on is more than enough. It may in fact be too much, if you consider electric melee.

The gaol is to provide something for electric attack based toons more than have a set for everyone to throw in Stamina. I could see, for example, and electric blaster using the other 5 minus the unique and another piece (likely damage) in an electric blast as is.

That being said a Gaussian's bonus is not without merit, in my eyes.

Also thanks for all the feedback/suggestions.

I really like the idea. I'd say make the last one a damage proc, though. Elec Blast is pretty damage weak, and having a damage proc that only elec blast, and none of the other blast sets, can slot would help give it a nice boost in power. Chance for Energy Damage, of course.
