Focus items.

I have a request for focus items.
You know the items that when equipped in your primary offensive slot give you a "6.5% chance to add an X effect to Y powers".
For starters, these items have crappy stats and really should be on par with other primary offensive items.
Secondly, the reason no one uses them is because 6.5% is not even worth mentioning.
I purpose a change to these items that would raise the percentage to 100% but lower the damage of the focus effect.
For example:
Malignant Lightning
+14 Endurance
+5 Recovery
+3 Constitution
+4 Physical Defense
+4 Energy Defense
+2 Offense
This item has a 100% chance to add a Toxic effect to lightning powers.
(also adds a toxic visual to powers when used)
50 Toxic damage for all non-energy building powers.
25% chance to lower targets defenses for 20 seconds.
This is INFINITELY better than the default...
Malignant Lightning
+2 Endurance
+2 Recovery
+1.5 Physical Defense
+1.5 Energy Defense
This item has a 6.5% chance to add a Toxic effect to lightning powers.
(also adds a toxic visual to powers when used)
250 Toxic damage (once in a blue moon...)
etc. etc. etc.
This will do 2 things:
1. Offensive items will become sought after and actually be useful.
(while adding a nice enhancement to those of us who like to build characters around a specific concept. like my darkness warlock whom I want to have a hellfire effect on his darkness powers without having to purchase both a fire and darkness powers.)
2. They will be traded and inject the non-existent game economy with some life.
It would also be nice if we could get focus items like these for more than just offensive based powers. Id love to see some primary defense and primary utility slot items that granted similar bonuses to defensive and utility powers respectively.
Just some food for thought Cryptic
