No, the Alpha Slot only enhances power attributes such as Healing, Recharge, Accuracy etc. Your set bonuses will not be touched.

I'm not home right now so I can't check the stats on my Stalker.
But I know that I have the new Fitness, the heal power from my secondary power set, the power set from body mastery that improves your hp & end regen so that's pretty much it.

You are correct, 1/3 of uncommon boosts ignore ED. Zem was referring to the common alpha boosts... probably missed where you said uncommon

So would you say it's more noticable then?
But regardless, I never say any info about the Alpha Slot in my Combat Stat Window.

I don't have the Alpha actually slotted on my Stalker yet, but it is on my
Brute (Spiritual)...
It can be difficult to tell - especially if your attributes are already near the
ED cap. I wasn't able to see anything meaningful in Combat Attributes.
The way I finally did tell is: unslot the Alpha, and then on your Enhancement
screen, rather than in Combat Attributes, look at your powers and see what
the actual recharge values are listed for each power, and then check them
again after you re-slot the Alpha boost.
For my Brute, the change ranges anywhere from ~.5 sec (for tier 1 attack)
to 20+ seconds for Rage. Not huge, but still helpful.

Recharge is already a diminishing returns kind of enhancement in the sense that the more you have, the less each % point of recharge added affects the overall recharge time of powers. People with high global recharge builds are likely to be disappointed by the recharge alpha. It's going to be far more useful to people who have not already slotted for recharge bonuses and/or don't have Hasten.

Thanks for the Tip, FourSpeed.
Do you think that it will be much more improved once we get access to the Rare & Very Rare Boosts?

Well more and more gets past ED with the rare and very rare so yes it will get better. But in the end, a lot of the benefit is limited because it is not like a set bonus, it is just an extra enhancement.
Still, from what I've seen where poeple post numbers, I'm rather impressed, they are looking like the equivalent of a 3-5% set bonus depending on your build. So pretty valuable.
Where you really want to cash in though is anywhere you can benefit from two or ideally three bonuses on those rare and very rares. Like my regen scrapper with the recharge/heal bonus.
I just wish something better was paired with damage.

I'd guess that the difference in an already ED capped power wouldn't be too noticeable. However, It would be difficult for me to know since I don't have the alpha slotted yet, and I only got around to slotting the common boost on 1 alt during the test phase. So far I've just been busy with respecs on live, once I'm done with those I'll be able to focus more on slotting the Alpha.
