Itemization suggestion: Head and/or shoulder for 3-piece sets

Adding heads and/or shoulders to the three-piece sets would allow you to run 2 three-piece sets simultaneously. It would add a lot of new build options going 3/3/5/1.

Also, they could give the head/shoulder pieces unique models like monster sets, adding a bit of aesthetic diversity as well.

    I like the monster sets the way they are. If you wanted some other three piece sets for some variety, that’s fine.

    Because what we really need is for characters to be even more powerful? No thankies.

    I guess a 1pc monster set.

    But, I mean, I'm struggling to think of a pair of 3pc jewelry/weapon sets I'd actually want to pair together. Maybe Eagle Eye and Agility or Grace of Ancients and Willpower, but... why? Those sets aren't really that appealing.

    I agree on both points. I just do not see a worthy purpose for it for Zos to spend the energy on adding the additional pieces.

    My guess is an arena weapon on the back bar.

    That's 2pc. 2h Weapons count as two pieces now, and have since Summerset. I was sitting here trying to come up with an ability altering weapon option that would make sense, but there isn't one. In cases like that you'll either run 5/5/2 or 5/3/2/2. (Or, 5/5/2 with 5/3/2/2 on the back bar.)

    Yeah, that’s the only 1pc set I’m aware of. But the request is for 3pc head and shoulder pieces, implying they would not be using a 1pc Monster Helm in either of those slots.

    I guess it could be something like a 3pc set with Weapon and Shoulders, a different 3pc set with jewelry, and a 1pc helm, but that doesn’t sound very effective.

    Yeah, that was the only possibility that tracked for me, and you're right, it doesn't sound like a good idea.

    All the 3 piece sets are extremely stat dense. It's the fact that you can't run 2 of them kind of keeping them in check.

    Or just make these 3 Piece sets 2 Piece sets... Like an alternative to Monster Sets.

    This was my thought, running 2 of them would be pretty strong power budget wise.

    If head and/or shoulder pieces were added to the existing 3-piece sets, the distribution I'm considering would look like:

    Ring, ring, neck: 3-piece set A
    Weapons, head: 3-piece set B
    Shoulder: monster set piece (one piece bonus)
    Chest, hands, waist, legs, feet: 5-piece set

    Not enough to justify giving up a second 5pc bonus.

    I mean, why run Grace of Ancients + Willpower when you can just run Crafty Alfiq instead? Simultaneously actually getting your bonuses from your head and shoulders.
