It's an interesting idea, however I think that your version is way to powerful. A 70% boost is better than everything in the game except a triple-aspect purple or a HO slotted in a power than can use three aspects of it (both of which are extremely hard to use effectively). Having that sort of power in a generic IO would be IMHO a bit to good.
I can see why you made them better than "regular" purples. Since single aspect purples provide the same bonus as regular dual aspect level 50 IOs but without the possibility for set bonuses generic purples would probably need a slight boost to make them generally useful. Personally I'd set them at about 58%, better than a regular single aspect purple but still worse than a dual-aspect purple.

I wonder if people would be interested in dual aspect generics???
How about a minimal increase in per-IO power, but have a set list of Set Bonuses associated with them? Just have every single Purple "Generic" IO adhere to this list, so you can mix and match. Obviously, the set bonuses shouldn't be as good as real sets, and by that token "Generic" sets should also be notably more common than the current Purple drops.

They're sounding like invented HOs. Which wouldn't be a bad thing honestly, especially since Hamidon raids are considered a novelty nowadays.
Maybe this is what those super-slot things in Going Rogue are gonna be like. Maybe not.
No. IOs are already better than SOs.

I would be interested in dual-aspect generics, particularly for powers that are currently best served by frankenslotting. For example, Follow Up can take either ToHit Buff sets (which don't give ACC enhancement to make the power hit) or Melee damage sets (wich augment the minimal damage that the attack does, but doesn't help the ToHit bonus that a successful strike gives)|

I would also be happy with enhancements that gave the same base enhancement as L50 single, dual or triple enhancements (without set bonuses), but didn't scale down during exemplaring.

Maybe on your server. On Virtue, Hami raids are twice weekly, per side. That's 4 per week, total. And there's usually a raid in Eden/Abyss 2 nearly ready to start while the first one is on the last stage.

In addition to purple IO sets, what do you think of purple versions of the level 50 generic IO recipes? A purple version of Invention: Damage would give a 70% boost, use the same ED as purple sets, and only one could be slotted per build.
