Frankenslot

  1. Slotting a power with a diverse mix of multi-aspect Set Invention Origin Enhancements, as well as possibly Common IOs and/or Hamidon Origin Enhancements, purely to maximize the basic enhancement bonuses to that power with no regard for set bonuses.
  2. Slotting multiple partial sets of Set IOs into one power to gain early set bonuses multiple times.
Presumably, the origins of its name refers to Frankenstein's Monster (a monster made from several different body parts of other humans) and Slotting.


Examples

Using Fiery Aura: Burn as an example:

  1. Slotting 3 "Damage/Recharge" IOs from 3 different sets in Burn to maximize damage and recharge percentage. No set bonuses.
  2. Slotting 2 Cleaving Blow and 2 Armageddon in Burn to maximize +recovery set bonuses.


Using Omega Maneuver from Crab Spider Soldier primary as another example:

Slotting the following:
Positron's Blast: Damage/Recharge
Detonation: Damage/Recharge
Air Burst: Damage/Recharge
Stupefy: Accuracy/Stun/Recharge
Rope A Dope: Accuracy/Stun/Recharge
Common IO: Damage
This will give one level 50 IO's worth of Accuracy and Stun, and ED-capped Damage and Recharge, basically resulting in eight IOs slotted into six slots.
