Some sets have become completely useless? I wanted to make this thread to throw down sets you believe have always been useless, and or useless after a nerf?

Its so easy to accumulate stuff thinking "one day, this will be great" when it will never be great. Other stuff looks awesome on paper (like Essence Thief), but after researching it, its just not.
The reality is that if any of this becomes meta, you can always go back and farm it. No need to clutter your inventory with it, just in case.
@El_Borracho I think the only set in your list I personally disagree with is Knight-Errant mail.
That's an awesome set for tanking pugs. It heals and increases the tanks damage. My sorc tank gets almost 20k dps which at times is more than 50% of a pug's group dps.
I would be bad if you only run with good players though.

Just because someone can't figure out how to make a set work with a build doesn't mean that set is useless for everyone.
It really just means that person couldn't figure it out.

Thank you for pointing out my lack of insight in this area. To all, especially the OP who asked for others’ thoughts on this subject, I apologize for wasting your time with my replies. I should have known the only appropriate response to the OP’s query is “such threads are completely useless.”
In the future, please forward all questions on this topic to Sir Andy. I’m sure he has very detailed and proven builds using sets like Spelunker where he can bust out 45k DPS no problem.
Oh, and be sure to find out how he stores all of these sets he has figured out how to use effectively. Both are well beyond my intellect and I dare not embarrass myself further.

My pet Sorc can do 40k+ skeleton parses with 5x Netch's Touch and 5x Spider Cultist, but yeah, all trash ...
aww man I thought that Destruction Mastery was one of the good ones.
