I need IO help 

I just respeced my elec/elec at 35, and I'd like to totally re-slot for IOs. Here's a list of powers and the slots available for them. I would like suggestions on which IOs would be best for which powers, as the Invention system is immensly confusing to me. Please help.

Primary
6-Charged Bolts
6-Lightning Bolt
5-Ball Lightning
3-Aim
5-Zapp
3-Voltaic Sentinel
3-Thunderous Blast

Secondary
1-Electric Fence
3-Build Up
2-Lightning Clap
2-Thunder Strike
2-Havoc Punch
1-Power Sink

Fitness
1-Swift
3-Health
3-Stamina

Flight
1-Hover
3-Fly

Speed
3-Hasten

I'd like to fully kit out my toon with IO's to focus on damage dealing as much as possible. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

RE: I need IO help 

Once you play around with the sets a little bit, it's not that bad. At first I was totally lost, then I messed around a tad and figured it out within a little while. It's a lot simpler than I made it out to be in my head.



City of Heroes/Villains
Onion - L50 - Katana/Super Reflexes/Body Mastery Scrapper
Scotch Bonnet Girl - L50 - Fire Aura/Fire Melee/Pyre Mastery Tanker
RonJ73 - L50 - Stone/Energy Aura Brute
Aurora Australis - L50 - Willpower/Energy Melee Tanker

RE: I need IO help 

There are a lot of different sets that include an overall damage increase as one of there bonuses. Just look for what particular sets with work with your powers. Nasali created a IO set power table a few weeks back, you can find it HERE.

And by accident I discovered something rather interesting. If you only use part of a set and have some of your other slots filled with just regular IOs or even SOs, you can up the damage to over 100%. One of the sets I’m working on, I only have 3 parts slotted at the moment and 2 of my other slots I have normal damage IOs and I have a 101.8 % damage increase.

Ah yes... very nice. And that is over a 100% WITH the enhancement diversification?

RE: I need IO help 

I thought that Enhancement Diversification just reduced an enhancements power. It didn't cap the total amount of enhancing.

I have one power at 106% of damage with 5 SO Damage Enhancements (working on reworking the enhancements right now to find something that I like better). It's...well...rather futile to stack 5 SO's because you're basically only getting a 5-6% increase out of a power, as opposed to a 30% boost in another aspect of that power, but that's your choice entirely.
