Update 3 Armor Set Bonuses

Crimsonorion

So I've seen in Zone [Amoung the trolls and small children] talk about Set Bonuses being redone in..I'm guessing Update 3. Adding 3,4 and 5 Set bonuses. Anyone got a link where this is talked about? My Blacksmith is a good month or so away from being able to do 8 Trait sets [Damn you Research time!] and I'm curious what I have to look forward to.

It looks like @Matuzes‌ posted over in our Public Test Server section with some information and screenshots on this topic: 1.3.0 Armor and Weapon Sets. You may find many (or all) of your answers there!

All sets special bonus has been moved to 5 trait. So the super popular warlock set that people got to have Magicka Flood now need 5 items instead of 3.

The other one lots are talking about is Willow's Path set. It used to have a 3 trait of 5% spell critical. Now its nothing be regen (health, magic and Stamina)

So those mana heavy casters using Warlock and Willow's path set are going to have to redo their armor when patch 1.3 comes out

how about templars now? warlock set was our only way to get decent magicka, now heavy armor is useless for us.

Quickly pick up the other two pieces before the price goes through the roof after patch 1.3
Time to farm the first boss in Trials again

@ZOS_AmeliaR
I would like to Test these sets on the PTR but there is no way to do this with the templates given. Or is there?

Yeah, at least Warlock will have part of its set on jewelry though. I run the necklace, head and shoulders now and then five heavy, so I can always add the other two rings later. So magicka users will still have the option of having two five piece sets thanks to the jewelry availability - not something every set wearer can say.

Oh Noes, I haz deconned one of my full pick-up sets (it was actually 4 levels under my character and seemed like a waste of time to keep).

I've been keeping all the gear and seriously considering deconning them or using them for Trait research. In all seriousness, my reasons for deconning still apply. This just gives me reason to wear them rather than bank them before decon. I still don't quite understand why they didn't make Armour Set Leveling into a Money Sink by allowing the Merchants the capacity to re-level them.

I just finished some overly-simple analysis of some possible new set combos, depending on your goals. Its still rough, and likely has errors. But may give you some ideas.
