Are you asking for set specific IOs? Or power specific IOs?

Set specific. So let's say for Fire Blasters, have one called Flame of the Phoenix, but only usable by Blasters. Sets like that. Kitsune, do you ever take a break from the forums, lol.

Could be an interesting way to buff sets that underperform when set IOs are added into the picture (but perform adequately with just commons/SOs).|

(Actually, I've been away from the boards for months at a time... it's just that when I am paying attention to the boards, I'll check it periodically throughout the day, as internet access is readily available where I am)

I'm skeptical but this could be a good idea... though it might render the current IOs obselete. And would it count for the same powerset on different ATs? (ie, Assault Rifle on Blasters and Defenders?)
It's got potential, but it would need to be something VERY finely-balanced... For every perk that it added to a specific powerset, it would need to take something away from the overall performance.
Not to mention, if it were to enhance specific powers within the set, I'm sure you'd hear tons of griefing in the community about how it's enhancing the wrong power, overpowering something, etc.
Again, it's got potential, but the potential of someone walking on a tightrope.
Rather than a set, I could see something like a single unique IO with a proc or global effect that relates to the powerset it's associated with. For instance, you could get a fire blast IO that boosts the DoT, or an Invulnerability IO that gives a boost to Smashing and Lethal resists. The fact that they're so specific might make them easier to balance, though I can't speak to the ease or even the possibility of coding something such as a DoT damage boost.
Alternately, perhaps procs with related effects- A fire blast IO could slot into any power to give a fire doT, and an Ice one would give a recharge slow, but they can only be used by someone with fire blast or ice blast respectively...

Sartre once said, "Hell is other people." What does that make an MMO?
I love you all, lol. I thought I would get killed on it.
I was thinking, how about IO sets, maybe make the sets of three or four with the additional benefits, but, based on each of the power types. So a set for Fire Blasters, Energy Melee, Katana's, Kinetics, Gravity, Storm Summoning. But one set for each of the powers in addition to the other IO sets available. We have them overall, but why not specialize for each specific power. Reason why I suggest this in addition to the other IO's available, is because it would allow for greater customization for each set, not just in general terms like Accurate to Heals, or Melee, or PBOA.
