You answered your own question. Hand clap does no damage and it makes no sense to have a universal damage set in it.|

The damage aspect of an enhancement 'enhances' damage, it does not 'add' damage to the power. So a power has to do damage before you can increase the damage. And a universal damage set is meant to be used only in powers that do damage.
Hand Clap doesn't take Universal Damage because it doesn't do damage.
Better question: why is there a KB -> KD enhancement in a damage set, but not in a knockback set?

Because then the Chance to Knockdown proc would be useless to people who want to add KD to their non-KB/KD/KU powers? And the set (if a Knockback set) would be useless to many characters, while as a Universal Damage set, it's useful to every character.

Presumably, if it could only be slotted in knockback powers, it wouldn't need the knockdown proc.|

I'm not saying "remove Overwhelming Force and replace it with a knockback set". I'm saying there should also be a Knockback set with a similar enhancement.
Hand Clap is an awsome power.
Dont blame the power if you are to lame to learn to use it.

"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
I couldn't find a thread on this, so I thought I would just post my own.

I know it doesn't actually do damage, and I don't think this enchantment should add any. However, I so want to use the KB > KD enchantment on this power.
And in it's current form of knockback hand clap is pointless. No one in there right mind gets it.
This could at lest make it viable.
I doubt it will be changed, but I thought I would add my 2 cents. Anyone else agree?
