Frankenslotting question

Quick question.

In order to save slots, I was planning on Frankenslotting my self-healing powers. Normally, I'll put 3xrecharge, 3xheals into those powers.

So, in order to Frankenslot to roughly the same level, would it be 4 or 5 slots that's needed with Heal/Recharges in them?

(From level 35 or so upwards, that is)

Yes, that'll work number-wise - but you might have trouble affording them (or finding them at all) if you go via the AH. A lot of other people will have had the same idea.

No worries, I've got a lot of what I need stored already. I'm just not sure whether I can get away with 4 slots or if I need 5?

It largely depends on how high up the ED curve you're happy to count as high enough, and what level the IOs are.

If you slot 4 Heal/Rechs of the same level in the power, you get these numbers for both heal and recharge:

Level 35: 89.23%
Level 40: 92.55%
Level 45: 95.19%
Level 50: 95.90%

Slot 5 and you get this:

Level 35: 97.20%
Level 40: 98.09%
Level 45: 98.98%
Level 50: 99.88%

So depending on the IOs' level you're getting between +8% and +4% for a 5th slot.

For mixed IO levels I'd recommend Mids!

Edit: Just seen MA's preceding post - oooops!

What is Frankenslotting?

Frankenslotting just means putting IOs from different sets in the same power. It's a way to buff 2 or 3 aspects of a power at the expense of the others.

As an example, my Stone tank has both a Multi-Strike Dam/End and a Scirocco's Dervish Dam/End in mud pots 'cos I want as much damage and endurance reduction as I can get but I'm not bothered about accuracy, recharge etc.

Cheers for the figures Standoff. I may add to them later on, but I think the 4 will do me at the moment (It's a PB, I'm currently playing, so I need all the slots I can get!)
