We are introducing not one but two, first-ever of their kind, new Attuned IO Enhancement set categories. Both Witchcraft and Return From The Grave pioneer these new categories, allowing players to create unique builds and take their gameplay to a new level of customization.

Witchcraft, being the first Universal Debuff set can be slotted into any power that can accept To Hit Debuff, Defense Debuff, Accurate To Hit Debuff, or Accurate Defense Debuff.

Return From The Grave brings Rez powers to the front and center.  This Attuned IO Enhancement set can be slotted in any self rez or ally rez power.  Its signature Rez Effects enhancement type allows it simultaneously enhance any ability that the rez power it's slotted into has!  Additionally, anyone willing to invest in slotting the full 6-piece enhancement set will be granted the special ability, Mass Rising.  Mass Rising releases a PbAoE ally rez around the cast whenever they use the rez power that is fully slotted with Return From The Grave.

Additionally, look forward to collecting all of the new rewards in
