Dead and new IO suggestions

Hello Peepy things!

I just had a thought. The devs are currently in the process of removing Statesman and Sister P from missions and transferring their mantles to their replacements. Their badges are even changing!

Well, various characters pop up in other places too. IO's! Makos bite, Numinas convalescence, Dark Watchers dispair, Ghost Widows Embrace, Guassans blah blah blah, Sciroccos dervish and so on.

I know Sister P and Stateman have never had an IO named after them, but if they did what would it be? What about the other guys that dont have an IO, like Recluse or Red widow? Maybe Monte, Woodsman or Percy could should have an IO. Anyone want to slot out their build with a Flamebaux IO?

Now that Penelope is in the Phalanx, does she get to have an IO of her very own? Would a Sister P IO just be altered to a Yin IO? If another toon dies, will that IO ever dissappear with him?


Rockshock (Druid Tanker), Medicat (Combat Medic), Dwarf From the North (Ice Mage), Rocket Gal (Energy Blaster), Graveborn (Undead Mastermind), Streeker (Punching Speedster), Op. Sidewinder (Recluse's pet Spider)

Cute, I like it.

We are in need of some more IO sets for some categories though.

Recluse's Web? Hero One's Vigilance? Tyrant's Fury? Machination of Nemesis?

Why just the Phalanx/Arachnos? Let's get every major hero/villain we can in on this!

I can't help but think there should be one for Dr. Vahzilok. Something related to Pain Domination, or his Wasting Disease (Debuff?).

Something psychic for Clockwork King would be cool.

Wrong. They've wisely listened to their players and decided to not retcon the existing badges. The new content will give new badges.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

OK, yeah, 3 slots for 10% recharge, not going to happen.


Anyway, couple of ideas.

Hamidon's Absorb - A purple res set with a proc for max health
Vanguard's Defence - A purple defence set with a global proc of 8 points of knockback protection
BAB's Blows - Purple knockback set with a chance for hold
Sister Psyche's Resonance - 10% chance for 10% psi resist on heal power on allys
Crystal Titan's Shards - An orange set with a detonation global proc. Whenever a pet dies within supremecy range of you, it explodes dealing heavy lethal damage and stun
Mot's Presence - A purple fear set, with the proc lowering resistance
Mot's Hunger - A purple accurate heal set with the proc absorbing endurance and giving 5% max health boost.

Fusionette's Fusillade (Targeted AoE IO set, lvls 20-45)

Accuracy/Damage
Accuracy/Damage/Recharge
Damage/Endurance Reduction
Damage/Recharge
Damage/Endurance Reduction/Recharge
Damage Buff +5% for every enemy in melee range/Chance to Taunt (25% per tick)

Bonus for 2: Increase maximum endurance by 2.5%
Bonus for 3: Increase melee defense by 3.75%/Increase energy defense by 2.5%
Bonus for 4: Increase movement speeds by 5%
Bonus for 5: Reduce Confuse duration by 7.5%
Bonus for 6: Increase recovery by 6%


Swan's Seduction (Hold/Sleep set, levels 35-50)

Accuracy/Range
Accuracy/Hold (or Sleep)
Hold (or Sleep)/Endurance
Hold (or Sleep)/Endurance Reduction/Recharge
Accuracy/Endurance Reduction/Recharge/Hold (or Sleep)
Chance to Confuse enemies (which would trigger after the hold/sleep had worn off)

Bonus for 2: Increase Recovery by 2.5%
Bonus for 3: Increase maximum Health by 3%
Bonus for 4: Increase duration of character's holds/stuns by 5%
Bonus for 5: Knockback Protection of 3 points

Dillo's Resolve (Resist Damage set, levels 25-45)

Resistance
Resistance/Endurance Reduction
Resistance/Recharge
Endurance Reduction/Recharge
Resistance/Endurance Reduction/Recharge
Chance for *hoorb*

Bonus for 2: Debt reduction of 5%
Bonus for 3: Increase Regeneration by 7.5%
Bonus for 4: Increase Ranged Defense by 3.75%/Increase Fire and Cold Resistance by 2.5%
Bonus for 5: Increase AoE Defense by 3.75%/Increase Psionic Resistance by 2.5%
Bonus for 6: Increase maximum Health by 2.5% and maximum Endurance by 1.5%

(If I really have to quantify *hoorb*, then I'd make it a tick of minor toxic PBAoE damage combined with a recovery of 2.5% Endurance. But it works so much better when there's a bit of mystery to it, doesn't it?)

Good catch I'm also missing a 6th bonus but I figure even if they were to do something with the sets suggested here they would change some stuff around anyways

Sister Psyche's Embrace
-4% recovery bonus
-10% heal bonus(not regen bonus)
-10% recharge bonus
-10% res to status effect
-3% def to all
*20% Chance to Summon Sister Psyche's essence from the well proc

Why are these Purple when the existing Signature Character ones are not?

So, couple of ideas for procs I want to see. Please add your own ideas.

A proc for EndMod that gives a chance for regen debuff.
A proc for ranged sets that has a chance to splash the damage, doing a 10th of the damage AoE.
A targeted AoE proc that has a chance for doublehit.
An accurate defence debuff proc that has a chance for -HP.
A melee proc that acts like a small power boost.
A knockback proc that has a chance to lower defence.
A ranged proc that gives a chance for knock up.

Kinda weird, no?

I'm also pretty sure Res and defense were never given purples to avoid giving players ridiculous levels of survivability (like that ship hasn't sailed) or possibly because it might just look awkward to them. Like imagine slotting a purple defense set into say... Focused Senses. Now one of your positionals is almost comically disproportionate to others.

That's why it would go into Weave, silly!
