what is the point of set items then. that was the whole reason set items were created in diablo 2 in the first place. this traditional idea of the set items continued in dungeon siege - legends of aranna. that made the goal of pursuing the set worth doing, otherwise, they aren't special, dump them if they don't beat your other stuff.
the idea behind set items as i understood it was that each item was significant in its own right, but when the whole set was collected together, the collection completed had its own benefits, and was created as such by whatever magician or inventor needed the benefits to have made it in the first place (in the gaming universe). so, set items that are a set in name only, until the name goes away are completely and totally superfluous and spurious.
.:heh:.
