New Enhancements

I think it is time for some new enhancements. But not just ordinary enhancements like for ranged, melee, defensive, or resistance. I'm talking about enhancements for Assassin Strike, confusion, fear. Two of these have enhancement, and confusion has a purple set. But most of these enhancements lack in secondary powers. There are not any that I would want to slot all of, in these power sets. Assassin Strike doesn't have any of its own enhancements and has a lot of potential.

Not saying it has to be like the purple sets or PvP sets. Just some new ones with better secondary powers.

Like less debt protection in level 50 enhancements. Having a character at level 50, I tend not to think about accumulating debt. Actually look forward to some of it, as to work on the debt badges. So seeing debt protection in sets that can be slot at power level 50, is a turn down for me.

Some may like the old enhancements as they are, I feel that more can be done. I would like to see more secondary powers as more stun protection, minor knockback protection, increased recover, res. to damages and/or def. to damages, or increase in damage or accuracy.

What does everyone else think?

I have to wonder why you are suggesting a new enhancement specific to Assassin Strike. I am admittedly not all that Stalker savvy but what would the new enhancement offer over and above the endurance reduction, accuracy, damage and recharge enhancements that are currently available?

i agree that sets with debt protection bonuses are kind of pointless

Yes and no, a player can still earn debt after level 50 and paying off that debt will slow down their influence gain. This is not an argument against the idea of reducing the number of debt protection bonuses in high level sets, it is merely an observation.

yes, but debt in the game is already a joke, it takes like 1 mish to clear up debt thats capped (i hardly even notice i have debt anymore)

-on 50s i dont notice it because its paid off so fast

-on non-50s i dont notice it because most of my lower toons i switch around using so they have tons of patrol xp (hence debt doesnt even show up till the 10 bars of patrol xp are used up from either dying a lot or just normally used up)

Maybe interrupt reduction? Can they take those?

AS really doesn't need its own sets. ST damage suits it just fine, really.

Give it a proc with a chance to trigger an animation. 1 in 10 chance of having flowers burst out the other side of the target or something. >.>

(Just because, yeah, I don't know either, having had this discussion before.)
