Am I the only one unhappy with the nerf to set bonsuses?

Because that is exactly what it is. I am really disappointed that all sets that gave their good bonus after 3 now require all 5. Why was this needed?

    Because their was no incentive to get a full set when the best bonus was only at 3 pieces. That seems like a no brainer

    Probably a balancing issue to make it fair that all sets require 5 pieces? also probably to stop people using combos of sets to get massive bonuses rendering lesser sets undesirable?

    I don't feel like it is a nerf, though I don't get 2 full set bonus from gear I now get much more crit and much more stats which I can personalize and build my character more along the lines of what I like to play. Much better now IMO.

    Can't say that I'm upset at all about it. Any changes that Zenimax makes which forces players to actually think about what they're doing while building their character is a welcome thing to me.

    You now choose one set for its 5 piece and choose a supporting set. Working much better I would say.

    I'm not happy with a few of the choices for some of the sets.. others were needed
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    A common-sense change. Yes you are the only one among 750,000 players.

    From my calculation, you can still get 5 piece Warlock + 5 Piece of another. I really like the 5 set bonus for seducer + warlock for say healing.

    There still isn't!!

    With current gear setup, I am stronger as 3/2/2 or 4/3 than as 5/2. I will probably never wear a 5 piece set again.
