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.

Using a standard single target hold. In holds you usually want to maximize the accuracy, the recharge, and the hold aspect of the power.

Assuming level 30 IOs:

Paralytic: Accuracy/Hold/Recharge gives 17.4% to all aspects

Neuronic Shutdown: Accuracy/Hold/Recharge gives 17.4% to all aspects

Essence of Curare: Accuracy/Hold/Recharge gives 17.4% to all aspects

Essence of Curare: Accuracy/Recharge gives 21.8% to accuracy and recharge

Basilisk's Gaze: Acc/Hold gives 21.8% to accuracy and hold

Basilisk's Gaze: Rech/Hold gives 21.8% to recharge and hold

This gives a total value of 95.8% to accuracy, hold, and recharge, basically resulting in nine IOs slotted into six slots.
