Suggestion:

  • Make all Set IO's slottable at up to five levels up.
  • Make all set IO's drop at multiples of 5
  • Bump all existing set IO's to the next highest multiple of 5, unless they are already at a multiple of 5.



Why?

Because this suggestion would:
  • Increase the ease of purchasing IO's. No longer would the usable enhancers be spread out over a number of levels, they would all be concentrated at fewer higher volume spots.
  • make IO's match the new exemplaring system of keeping powers 5 levels up.



Discussion?

Except it wouldn't.
A level 32 IO right now gives you set bonuses when you flashback to the 25-29 tier

A level 35 would not

32 rounds down. A level 30 IO would work just fine if you exemp to 29.

I don't think it's practical to change set IO's at this point, but I've often wondered if they made a mistake when they released the IO system. Commons are only available in multiples of five. They could easily have done the same with set IO's. But they chose not to, and I doubt if that will change.

But the OP did say....

So he's rounding everything up, rather than rounding off.

However it's done, changing enhancements that are currently slotted on characters is likely to get messy.

In his example, a L31-L34 would get rounded up to L35. Since a L31 IO could be slotted somewhere on a L28 character right now, changing it to a L35 would be a problem. Even if the slotting allowance were widened to +5, that character would still have two levels to go.

I see this problem.
Currently, I am looking for two pieces of the Sov.Right set, (redside, Pet Damage) within a certain level range. There are none for sale within the level range, so I have to leave bids out for one of each level and hope that I don't get multiples filled before I check back. (granted, I could resell them, but still.)
We can bid for up to ten of one item, it would certainly be helpful if we had the option of bidding for one single item, but allow a level range of +/- a few levels.
