1) Slow and -recharge resist.
2) Endurance drain resist.
3) to-hit debuff resist.

out of those three I would go for 2.

KB2KD conversion.
I'm annoyed that we need an event random drop IO for it to begin with - having it as a set bonus would help, I guess.
They're probably going to do it set by set based on what the set already has.
For example, you can't just plug more max endurance into everywhere there is Debt protection, because Eradication has max end already.

Literally any other type of existing bonus.
A great many types of non-existing bonus.

But one can always wish.
I really should do something about this signature.

Possible in the new IO sets though.
Edit: Maybe not, and they appear to be a targeted AoE with a -res proc, resistance with a +max hp "proc", defense with +res, and healing with +absorb.
I really should do something about this signature.
Here are some worst-case scenarios, so that if the changes don't live up to your hopes, you still won't feel *too* let down:
1) Increased debt. (High Pain Threshold has never been easier!)
2) +2% damage, but only against Underlings.
3) A 5% increase to your defense hard cap. Tankers, languish at 225.05% defense no more!
4) +3% resistance to unresistable attacks. Unfortunately, since they are flagged Unresistable, they ignore the resistance from this set bonus. But if you ever get hit by an Unresistable attack that is resistable, you're golden.
5) Stealth debuff resistance.
6) Increased hostage/kidnap follow radius. Actually, this one might be nice to have.
7) Increased crash strength (-90% health from Unstoppable? How about -91%?)
8) +5% jump height (but not jump speed). With this extra .2 feet, you'll be moving up in the world.
Now, no matter what the replacement set bonuses are, your disappointment will be tempered, knowing how much worse it could have been.
8) could be useful, in conjunction with something like Beast Run or CJ (for jumping up to higher positions). Make it +20% and you're rocking.
I really should do something about this signature.
+20% jump height would be .8 feet. Base jump height is really short.
I thought they implied that they're replacing the bonuses with resistance, and that whatever they're doing, it's already decided.

Get you up some of them ledges though. It's a set bonus, stack it 5 times and you get 4 feet. That's taller than a 10 year old!|

I'm sure some of those Olympic people would kill for +.2 feet.

On the other hand, I'd MUCH rather have it as an easily avoided proc than as a set bonus somewhere in the middle of other bonuses I'd actually want.

Didn't Synapse already list what would be put in?
My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor

% of debt incurred transforms into absorb HP on rez.
No, but really, pretty much anything that isn't debt protection is OK.

I haven't cared about debt since somewhere around Issue 10. Debt protection matters as much to me in-game as "Protection from Pies" would. Probably less, since having "Ultimate Pie Protection" in my set bonus list would be kind of awesome.

Does anyone know when Protection from Pies goes live? Is that i24 or i25. Glad the Devs have finally switched Debt protection out for something useful. Has anyone seen the Pie Protection on Beta? Does it work well?

I would be happy with more Damage Resistance and/or Defense.

They should replace the debt protection set bonuses with a small vanity pet pony that follows you around. Since it's a set bonus it wouldn't count against your limit of vanity + buff pets.
