Gear sets are getting boring

How gear sets work in the game has been very much the same since vma being introduced. It’s becoming more and more boring. 2h counting as 2 pieces changed it a bit, but that’s not enough, there should be something that’s a bigger meta change and more exciting new gear.

The first problem is the why only head and shoulders can have special sets? Why not hand and feet too? Two piece sets that can be used alongside monster helm can be very interesting.

The second problem is why only unique weapon buff weapon skills? Why not body pieces buff class skills? Would be very interesting to see some set that gives warden a red netch which restores both stam and mag.

I’d like to see if others are feeling the same, and any other ideas on how to make it interesting again.

    Maybe some proc sets would liven things up, look forward to them in next update! *rubs hands*

    The armors are not very TES like. They should give some bonuses yes, like run speed or ability (as a skill) to cast fireballs or some extra stamina. But not proc damage or other ***.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Interesting idea. Though, I'd rather have monster weapons. Using a stamina DPS for an example, you could have 2 daggers of Selenes (or Stormfist) on the front bar and a bow of Velidreth on the back. Basically flip the 5-5-2 build.

    Dang, that would be a lot of fun...

    Personally hate being pigeon holed PvE wise to vMA bow and destro staff for optimal DPS. There should be more diversity with less gaps using different synergized gearsets.

    A big part of the reason. The more of those 2 piece sets you have the more balancing you have to do.

    Can you imagine stacking say Head/Shoulders, Chest/Legs, Feet/Hands all different sets with ifferent bonuses. That would be absolutely nuts.

    @DMuehlhausen I was thinking the same thing, but then I wondered if it would be feasible without the two 5-piece stat/buffs you get on a normal build. If you could get the sustain and/or stats you need, that would be wild
