It's part of a set that will drop randomly during the upcoming Summer Event which, being upcoming, hasn't started yet.
Yes. Summer Event
Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Don't get too excited, it's a unique.

That would be an awfully large slot commitment for something you could get from a single slotted Steadfast Protection +KB Protection. Also as stated above, Hand Clap does no damage and thus cannot take Universal Damage sets. But thanks for playing.

If you're planning to slot it into Foot Stomp for the 6 slot bonus, Hand Clap will still do knockback, since the IO isn't in Hand clap.
And if I'm still misunderstanding you, well, my bad. *shrug*
That would be how I read the post as well, Bill.
I should have added this quote as well but didn't since it needed a multi-quote to do it right.

The part that sucks is that it's a damage IO... so no go for whirlwind.
Bah, that's what I wanted to ask Hawk...

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
hmmm, interesting. it could be useful in a energy blaster's aoe power. other than that? maybe make me interested in one of the dark power cones i have tried to like, until i realized i was regularly ruining my team's play experience.
Would it be able to be slotted into Bonfire? And would the bonfire pet inherit the KB-->KD effect?
My 2 questions for this...
1: Is this only a level 50 set? The screenie shown states a character must be at least level 47 to slot it. However, is that just because the one being looked at was already a level 50 instead of a lower level piece, or are they all level 50?
2: Are these only going to drop during the event's mission, or can they drop anywhere during the event?
Quote:
If it can and it does, I don't imagine it will last long, because it would give Bonfire the most almightly buff, and turn it from 'fun but situational' to 'use as often as possible'.

Death is part of my attack chain.
I'm hoping I can place it into Phantasm for Illusion... might actually use him again on a small team...

OK, I don't mind, and routinely enjoy using KB powers. I can even handle them on my mastermind's pets. But I'll agree with you here: Mister Sparkles is a prime candidate for this enhancement. My Ill/Time is all about not letting anyone go anywhere.
