Introduce Set Items (similar to D2) in Patch 0.4.0

Set items is pretty much always a terrible idea.

All it does is narrow down build diversity and force you into wearing full sets instead of experimenting with mixing pieces.

I'd love to see some sets in the game but ggg isn't competent enough to design and implement sets with meaningful and balanced bonuses that wouldn't make people feel they're forced to use the sets

GGG could take inspiration from sets in D2, which were well designed and balanced. It can be done, just takes some effort.

ggg has been trying to copy d2 for more than 10 years and look at where we are

Set items or Unique items should have at least 6 modifiers + 1 with special use otherwise it's just a rare item with 1 special modifier use.

When I'm wearing a Unique item in my gear i want to feal that besides the special use i forfill all my needs in lack of defences or significaly boosted damage.


For example when i get a Unique ring the modifiers if i exclude the special one that changes rules, are the worst I've seen in last decade in games. These modifiers should be 30% better from a ring that has 64 level.

I agree that unique items should have at least 6 mods +1 with special use, whereas set items should have few partial set bonuses and one full set bonus.

You clowns keep regurgitating "uniques should be useless" but can't comprehend how actually farmable leveling sets make lvling a lot more enjoyable

Its not bis sets or nothing, what

Grim dawn is a good example

Another really good thing from grim dawn would be monster weapons with actual interesting implicits

A set item is just a janky broken down unique. Nothing more. Dropping a part of a set item is not fun, since it sucks until you find the other one 3 weeks later when you are already in endgame.

I would much prefer to be able to craft a unique property onto another unique with the recombinator. That would create a whole lot of unique build to chase. I would make sure that the item becomes account bound once it's done thought.

Farmable leveling sets would be a great addition to the game, and no they would not be bis if done correctly. I don't really understand the hate for set items.

Sets = All playing the same build & wearing same gear !

Worst idea ever !

No TY.

Just do it like Nioh. Each set had X bonuses, lets say for example on one is 4 bonuses. You got 1st bonus if you used 2 items of the set (any 2) , 3 bonuses if you used 3 items of the set.. and the 4th bonus only if you used the full set. So people will use different parts of the set for different builds.

Before thinking of adding set items, maybe they could buff the current uniques that are in the pool by 300 %, and then, maybe only then they would see use.

The game is completely bloated with absolute hot trash when it comes to unique items. You could literally remove all the drawbacks that come with them and they would still see no use end game.
