Definition

Frankenslot

Frankenslotting is a term which has several definitions:
  1. Picking and choosing Invention Origin Enhancements to slot from multiple invention sets to get the most percentage in the least amount of slots, without worrying about set bonuses.
  2. Slotting different enhancements from different or same sets, in order to fit more than the equivalent amount of enhancements in slots.
  3. Slotting multiple IOs from multiple sets to gain a specific set bonus.
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.
