'''Archetype Enhancements''' are sets of all-[[unique]] and [[attuned]] enhancements, one set per standard archetype and [[Epic Archetype]]s both having one set for both archetypes. Each set contains a special enhancement tailored to that AT's role ([[Stalkers]] have a placate, Kheldians get a changing bonus based on current form). Archetype Enhancements are also called Archetype Specific Enhancements (ATEs), Archetype Origin Enhancements (ATOs - note this is technically a misnomer), or are referred to by the actual archetype (for instance, Blaster Enhancements).

Each enhancement has a level 10 minimum requirement, but as an attuned enhancement, the enhancement portion will increase as the character's level increases. The enhancement portion is affected by [[Exemplar Effects on Enhancements|exemplar]] as normal. Set bonuses will operate down to level 7.

Standard and Superior enhancements of the same set and type are mutually exclusive; a character cannot slot both Blaster's Wrath: Accuracy/Damage and Blaster's Wrath: Accuracy/Damage (Superior).

Note that the set bonuses for the standard and Superior versions are different; the Superior version grants higher bonuses.

Revision as of 05:17, 1 January 2012

The features discussed here may be implemented in future issues and are subject to change before release.

Overview

Archetype Enhancements (ATEs) are sets of all-unique and attuned enhancements, one set per standard archetype. Epic Archetypes have one set for both archetypes. Each set contains a special enhancement tailored to that AT's role (Stalkers have a placate, Kheldians get a changing bonus based on current form). Archetype Enhancements are also called Archetype Specific Enhancements (ASEs), Archetype Origin Enhancements (ATOs - note this is technically a misnomer), or are referred to by the actual archetype (for instance, Blaster Enhancements).

Each enhancement has a level 10 minimum requirement, but as an attuned enhancement, the enhancement portion will increase as the character's level increases. The enhancement portion is affected by exemplar as normal. Set bonuses will operate down to level 7.

Note that Archetype Enhancements do not need to be crafted; once claimed, they appear in the character's enhancement tray and are ready to be slotted if they match the character's archetype.

Availability

Archetype Enhancements are available rarely and very rarely in SuperPacks, and also from Reward Merit Vendors and Incarnate Merit Vendors.

Superior Enhancements

While the standard Archetype Enhancements are attuned but not Account Bound, there are Enhancement Catalysts which will make the standard enhancements into account bound Superior versions with higher enhancement values, bigger set bonuses, and a better special enhancement bonus. However, catalyzing an ATE will increase the minimum level requirement to 50, similar to Purple IOs.

Standard and Superior enhancements of the same set and type are mutually exclusive; a character cannot slot both Blaster's Wrath: Accuracy/Damage and Blaster's Wrath: Accuracy/Damage (Superior). This means that set bonuses are limited; a character can get the first and second set bonuses twice (by slotted three standard pieces and three Superior pieces), or the first set bonus twice and the second and third set bonus once (by slotting two and four pieces), but cannot get the third, fourth, and fifth bonuses from both sets. Note that the set bonuses for the standard and Superior versions are different; the Superior version grants higher bonuses.

Enhancement Listing

The following table lists each archetype's enhancement set, and includes the archetype-specific bonus that the special enhancement grants. The final column is the average times per minute the proc chance has to fire (Procs Per Minute, or PPM); if nothing is listed, it functions more like a global.

Archetype Enhancement Set Name Special Enhancement Bonus PPM
  Blaster     24px Blaster's Wrath     X [X]* fire damage by the slotted power     4/min [5/min]*
