Why is there no Accurate ToHit Buff IO set?

Just out of curiosity... why has there never been an Accurate ToHit Buff IO recipe set added?

IIRC, the stated reasons were initially that there were a limited number of powers that would be able to slot it, but the same could be said for Healing and ToHit Debuffs... and we did get Accurate ToHit Debuff and Accurate Healing IO sets.

Tried doing a little search-fu and didn't find anything. Any thoughts?

What powers require a hit roll to buff someone's to-hit?

edit Ah ha! Follow Up and Blinding Feint! Apparently my memory isn't great in the morning.

If there are powers other than those two, I can't think of them. However, for Accurate Healing there are lots, such as Siphon Life, Life Drain, Transfusion, Twilight Grasp, Dark Regeneration, et cetera. For accurate tohit debuffs, there are the entire dark melee and dark blast sets, among others. So, there's really a lot more possibilities for those IO sets.

Soul Drain as well.

And the Warshade Mires . . .


But the list is rather small.

And the list of powers that you'd actually want to slot up for the to-hit aspect
is even smaller (imo).

Invincibility as well IIRC

I think it just hasn't floated to the top of the list.

The 'fast recharge' Target AOE sets (for nukes, rain of arrows, full auto) and these together would be a good addition.

I'd love to have a set like this for Soul Drain instead of having to slot Obliteration.

Personally, I'd like to see more crossover bonuses in sets. For instance, knockback sets often give some damage and so do slows, but none of the holds or immobilize do. An accurate to hit with damage would be very popular I bet.

While advocating more power-specific IO sets, we should also be asking for some of the redundant sets to be removed. There's too many useless sets floating out there, clogging the drop pools and personal inventories.

Do we need all those snipe sets? All those pet damage sets? All those confuse or sleeps? Is there a way to make a more generic group that enhances multiple buff/debuff aspects, like Blessing of the Zephyr does for travel powers?

Implementing a revamp would be hard, but that doesn't mean it's not necessary. What do you guys think?

Actually, what I think would be interesting is a few sets for powers like Followup, or Build up, that are a bit to case specific for standard drops, so instead must specifically be bought (Merits, AE tickets.. maybe a couple vanguard themed ones?). It would be cool, for example, to have a set or two that enhanced teleport magnitude.

Another point.

These type powers are ideally suited for HO slotting

My own is 3acc/dam, 1 tohit/endrec 1 tohit/rech and a damage proc


That's not an answer for the pre-47 game for sure, but any IOs are likely not to reach that level of utility even if frankenslotted.

(well maybe the 40s with Titan-Os and Hydra-Os - like anyone gets these anymore)

There's no accurate defense buff set either - to go in the powers that buff defense and require accuracy - one in Katana and one in Broadsword (and in Ninja blade? I can't remember if there's any more).

I think what should be done is add an EXTRA IO to various sets. For example, add an Acc/Dam or Acc/Dam/Def to every Defense set, instead of creating Accurate Defense sets. You don't need to add any new bonuses, because no power can have more than 6 enhancements slotted anyway.

Similarly, a Damage IO can be added to all the Stun, Hold and Immobilize sets, to account for those Stuns, Holds and Immobilizes that really need Damage.

For "uncommon" sets the new ones should go in pool A drops probably. For "rare" sets they should go into pool B till enough drop to satisfy pent-up demand, at least... pool B can use some dilution as nearly all its drops are too common already.

I see nothing wrong with sets having 7 different IOs It would make customizing easier too!

I like the Accurate Healing sets, but it would've been simpler and a better idea to add Accuracy IOs to the existing heal sets, I suspect...
