Temporal Fragmentation Set - 2 Piece Bonus Question

Apologies if either I'm being dumb or if this has been asked before, but I have a question about the 2-piece bonus on the Temporal Fragmentation set. Basically, I have a Paradox (so I have the Temporal Rift Stabilizer) and I have a Mobius (so I have the Manheim Device), but I don't have the Wells, so no Tipler Cylinder. According to the detail on the set, the multi-piece bonuses are as follow:

Set 2: Fragment Time - Adds Fragment time to Tipler rewind ability - All nearby foes become held and untargetable.

Set 3: Temporal Acceleration - 10% Reduction to Science Bridge Officer Ability Recharge Times, 50% Reduction to Temporal Console Ability Recharge Times

Can I therefore confirm that having two pieces gives no bonus whatsoever unless one of them is the Tipler Cylinder? As far as I can read, all that having the Manheim and TRS would do is add a Fragment Time function to an ability I don't have? Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other 3-piece sets where you have to have a specific one of the pieces to even get the 2-piece bonus, so is this just an oversight on Cryptic's part or am I missing something somewhere?

    Correct. That's because when the 2-piece bonus was created, there were only 2 items in the set so you'd always have the Tipler in it.

    The Elachi set, the two piece affects only the console from the Escort. The Xindi set, while you do get some stats out of it...the main buff is to the console ability of the Reptillian Escort. The Dominion set only offers buffs to the Dread and HEC consoles...so if you have the Bug console it doesn't get buff.

    ^^ umm irrelevant post is irrelavent? ^^

    To answer your question the 2 piece would give no benefit if you weren't using tipler.
