Enhancement Diversification

Overview

Enhancement Diversification, usually abbreviated ED, is a system of modifying the effects of enhancements when the total enhancement is above a certain percentage. Enhancement Diversification became effective on the production servers as of the release of Issue 6 and City of Villains.

Enhancement Diversification is based on a system of dimishing returns on enhancements slotted to raise bonuses to a very high level. It primarily affects Single-Origin Enhancements and Hamidon Enhancements, though it is possible that enough slotted Dual-Origin Enhancements may be affected as well.

Schedules

What Enhancement Types are what bonuses (schedules)? The percentages in parentheses represent Single, Dual, and Training Origin enhancements, respectively. The numbers also assume that the enhancement is equal to your own level. An enhancement that is one or two levels greater than your level will work a little better; one or two levels lower than yours will provide a little less than these percentages.

Schedule A Enhancements (33.33%, 16.66%, 8.35%) are:

Accuracy, Confuse, Damage, Defense DeBuff, Drain Endurance, Endurance Discount, Fear, Fly, Heal, Hold, Immobilize, Intangible, Jump, Recharge, Recovery, Run, Sleep, Snare, Stun, Taunt, To Hit Debuff

These bonus types start to see reduction when the bonus is 70% or more, and a severe reduction at 100% bonus or greater.

Schedule B Enhancements (20%, 10%, 5%) are:

Range, Defense Buff, Resist Damage, To Hit Buff

These bonus types start to see reduction when the bonus is 40% or more, and a severe reduction at 60% bonus or greater.
