I thought the final better will be a tough one, but hell turn out easy like crazy. I take down the divine in 1 or 2 thousand strike, zandalor with 1 thousand strike. Its just too ridiculous easy after fully enchant and charm.
The ending is bit surprise too. Hope the expansion or d3 will be coming very soon. Overall a good game.
And bout the 3 sets 10 pieces set armor, the bonus and stats is kinda crappy in my opinion. From what I see only ulthring set is worthy to use. No matter what class one plays, I think reaching the requirement to use Ultring set is quite easy with help of charms and stats from accessories.

If you didn't notice, 3 named sets for 3 different classes: mage, warrior and archer.

If you didn't notice, 3 named sets for 3 different classes: mage, warrior and archer. I do know all 3 are cater for different class, but with help of charms, its easily to reach the requirement to use all the set armor. I playing as dual wield warrior type and able to reach 90+ str and int and 60 dex with help of charms and gears with good stats. Well I actually collected all 4 sets and try all on, but from what I notice, archamge and ranger set is kinda poor even having full set on. The resistance they provide are extremely weak compare to the elite champion armor i using that time, which provide me 50%+ melee resistance, 46%+ range resitance and 50%+ magic resistance. Beside those 2 set armor only had 1 enchantment slot, as compare to the warrior set and ulthring's set which had 2 slot for armor parts, ulthring even had 3 enchantment slot for the helmet. And those accessories that come with warrior, ranger and archmage set actually having quite some bad stats bonus on them, as compare to those I bought legendary(yellow) ones which I bought from merchant in aleroth. Below are 3 screenshot of the necklace I using comparing to the necklace from the warrior, hunter and archamge set. Even with additional green stats bonus from the set one, I dont feel its any better than my one I using, especially all my accessories has a minimum of 2 to 3 charm slot, where those set had only 1 charm slot or none. ![[Linked Image]](http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/5803/87077954.th.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6499/27169369.th.jpg)

But isn't it a logical thing the armour set of the Warrior have more "% Protection" because a warrior most of the time fight close by enemies so he have more chance undergo strong hits by enemies like Black Ring Members with a big hammer  ! A Ranger or Mage most of the time attack enemies from a distance! Maybe the armour set of Ranger/Mage have other good stats like + points to intelligence or dextery?? Or a + points to a Ranger or Mage Skill? But I don't know ... just thinking about that when I read the post of ACSS
On 7th of february 2015 : I start a new adventure in the Divinity world of Original Sin, it's a Fantastic Freaking Fabulous Funny ... it's my All Time Favorite One !

Or a + points to a Ranger or Mage Skill? But I don't know ... just thinking about that when I read the post of ACSS Yes its normal for warrior set to have more melee defence, mage set to have more magical defence, but still all 3 types of defenses need to be take into consideration. By using my non set champion series, I can manage to have 2 resistance over 50% and 1 at bout 46%. When I change to for example the archmage set, only the magical resistance maintain over 50%, melee and range resistance drop till 20%+ to 30% range, do you still think its a good choice to swap like this? The warrior set is still ok in my opinion as the 4 armor parts had 2 enchantment slot, but mage and hunter set only had 1 enchantment slot on each of its armor part. Playing a ranger doesnt mean you dont need melee defense, as there no guarantee you kill all that approaches you in time before they reach you, same goes to warrior need range and magical resistance as well. You will find out what additional bonus you get from using full sets once you reach the part in game. But I can overall tell you what a ring from the 3 different set add Scorpion ring (warrior):+3 spirit, +1 firewall,no charm slot, 1 enchantment slot Hunter ring: +12 heightened reflex, 1 charm slot, 1 enchantment slot Aleroth Archmage ring: +3 dex, no charm slot, 1 enchantment slot 1 of the ring I using (legendary): +3 int, +3 str, +7 magic armor, +1 wisdom, 2 charm slot, 1 enchantment slot. Ask yourself which you will choose then

Well I actually collected all 4 sets and try all on, but from what I notice, archamge and ranger set is kinda poor even having full set on. The resistance they provide are extremely weak compare to the elite champion armor i using that time, which provide me 50%+ melee resistance, 46%+ range resitance and 50%+ magic resistance. Itmes in D2 has random stats, generated like in DD1. So, you always can back @ the end of the game and collect all sets with twe stats you like. Do not want a sword with poor magical dmg? Reload and reopen a chest again. That's is.

Sword can become bow vice versa.

Reload and reopen a chest again. That's is. Well as Xardas pointed out, all set armor stats are fixed. Beside that those specified drop by mind reading, example laiken sword also had fix stats, no matter how you reload, it will still be the same. Random item only happen on locked chest. From my experience, non locked chest items is all the time same. That why I said that the set armors are kinda poor, beside the ulthring set, which has more balance bonus, enchantment slots and wont interrupt my accessories choice. Beside I find weapon drop by Baal is far more superior compare to those in the set item, at least all come with 3 enchantment slots. I got total of 6 enchantment slots through weapon by dual wielding. I just tried the final battle in hard mode, still the divine being chop down in 1 to 2 thousand strike, where he still the 1st one laid dead compare to his minions, follow by Zandalor  . All is done solo without any creature or summon.

You do get extra bonuses from fully equip set items, but those bonus in my opinion cant overcome the lousy stats on those warrior, hunter and archmage 10 pieces set, since the default stats on those equipment are kinda crappy. For me only the ulthring set worth using, since its just consist of 4 parts, and come with quite good enchantment slots and stats on it, bonuses of the set also quite good. If not mistaken, wearing 4 piece together get extra +15 melee, range and magic resistance with +12% hp more. 3 pieces of the gear come with 2 enchantment slot and the helmet even had 3 enchantment slot and overall each piece had a free charm slot on it as well.
