edit: I moved the reply since I wasn't sure if this could be posted here.
Here it is at then end of the thread: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=279766
You should be able to post it here. There's no NDA on the current beta that I'm aware of - it certainly hasn't prompted me to agree to one.
Easy way to see the sets: at the Auction House, turn off auto-complete, set the range to 50-50 (just to avoid bunches of dupes) and type in the archetype name you want to look at, like 'scrapper'. This is on Live, not the beta.

Still makes me sad. Should just make it a straight 2.5 increase to Defense or 2.5/1.5 Typed vs Positional.

Will it be possible to have 1 set of the superior ATIO and then just one set of the regular one. Since they are different unique enhancements they should fall under separate categories right?
I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure NDA is in affect for all betas. Remember that F2P (or non players, for that matter) can see forum posts even though they can't post.
What NDA?
I have never been prompted with any kind of NDA for a beta here, that I can remember. It's an open beta. I'm sure there are closed betas that do have NDAs, but the beta boards at the top of the forum that any VIP can view aren't part of that.
Superior Scrapper's Critical Strike/Recharge: Improves the Critical Hit Chance of a power by 40%, and the Recharge of a Power by 23.2%
Headsplitter = 10% critical chance
Bosses = 10% critical chance
ATIO = 40% critical chance
=60% chance to crit bosses. WHAPOW!

Headsplitter has a flat 15% crit chance against everything, it doesn't get a bonus against bosses. Moreover though, it's very likely that this IO increases crit chance by 40% of whatever the current crit chance is, not by adding 40%. So 5% becomes (5*1.4) = 7%, 10% becomes 14%, and 15% becomes 21%. However, I believe the crit is a global bonus, not just to the power it's slotted in.
Pretty sure if the info was meant to be hidden, it would have been announced on the beta boards, much less being visible on live servers. Just to make it easier for people so they don't have to follow a link...

Note: I don't think this means it increases the crit chance to 20+/40+ percent. I think it will multiply the base crit chance by that amount (Example: 5% crit becomes 6% [5 * 1.2]). But, I don't know how it works for certain. (edit: This is a reply to a question by peterpeter in the scrapper forum.) |

15% critical chance on a boss, 40% OF 15% is 6, 15% + 6% = 21% chance to critical hit on a boss.
At least, that makes the most sense unless they want to allow scrappers to make one of their powers insanely overpowered.

Pinny - Scrapper
Shadewing - Defender

This. It will be a % increase to your % chance - not a simple additive %. Still awesome.

The normal set is a Rare (Orange) set. It can be slotted at low levels (1+, 10+, I dunno) and it is Attuned to you (levels with you, exemplars with you).|

The superior set is Very Rare (Purple). It can only be slotted at Level 50. It does exemplar down (attunement) with you.
As I understand, you can only have one set per character period, no doubling up at all by having 1 normal and 1 superior set.
So, get a normal set, level with it to 50, collect enough Catalysts to convert them all at once, and turn them in to the superior set.
Of course, if you have 5 purple sets maxing out your +10% recharge bonus, you can leave it superior for the 8.75% recharge bonus.
So you can split this set between 2 powers and get 10% Smashing/Lethal defense if it is Superior?
That's kinda nice.

Hrm, 10% S/L defense and 6% HP. That is pretty (ridiculously) nice.
I hope they tone down the numbers on this set in particular because otherwise not only will it cost twelve billion minimum on the market, every other AT set will too since everyone will be buying kheldian and stalker ATIOs in hopes of converting them into scrapper ATIOs. I guess that doesn't prevent anyone from getting it by merit purchase but I have to imagine those merit prices will be awfully high.

No, that is not how Attunement works.

Does anyone know what the scrapper specific Archetype IO set is like? I've done some poking around, but I can't find much. I saw something about a % crit increase, but no details.
