How does Dual Wield count to set bonuses?

I have a question if someone has tested this. If I would run for example

5 Magnus, 3 (2+weapons) Julianos, 3 Willpower jewelry on my mag character.

And If I would have on my main bar Dual wield and one of the two weapons would be Julianos and the other one Willpower, how will it count to set bonuses?

Will it not count to both sets, so that it will be then 5 Magnus, 3 Julianos, 4 Willpower?

Or do the dual wield weapons have to be BOTH from the same set, to count as 1 piece to the set bonus count?

    wait, so is it correct?? that with dual wield, I can achieve 5 Magnus, 3 Julianos, 4 Willpower??

    When one of the dual wield weapons would be Julianos and the other one Willpower? Thus the set bonuses are both present with dual wield??

    @ZOS_GinaBruno , could you please confirm this?

    Yes, each weapon counts as 1 set piece, but I don't see why you would run 4 willpower when it is only a 3 piece bonus.

    OK, so other setup,

    If I would go 5 Magnus and 2 armor Julianos and 2 dual weild weapons Julianos (+ 3 Willpower), it will then count as
    5 Magnus, 4 Julianos, 3 Willpower, right??

    With all possible respect, why it's so difficult to understand that a set has bonuses based on pieces, not naming or anything?

    Regardless if they're of the same piece, each piece is an individual piece and thus counts towards to the set completion (or as much as wanted)
    I am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.
    I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).
    My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian, I am the very model of a Scientist Salarian.

    I was just wondering, that if it would really count as 4 Julianos bonus, why did I never heard this in any build videos? Or might be that I have just did not notice that :)

    thank you for your respect, I am expressing the same towards you, but sorry, I am not a build theory crafter at all, but the opposite, a total newbie in terms of set combinations, so I just had to be sure about that what came to my mind today :)

    Keep in mind you'll only get that julianos 4 pc while on that weapon bar. So when switching to the other bar and say it's a julianos destro staff (just an example) you would then only have the 3 pc bonus while on that bar. Make sense?

    yes yes, I know that ;)

    but still, having my DW bar as my main bar, it seems an awesome discovery for me :)

    but you can run an extra Magnus pieces instead for the 4 piece bonus of that set

    well, I don`t know the people who replied me to this thread, so I can not tell. But I know that there are many people on this forums, who are really expert theory crafters!!

    That's what the game is all about learning and practicing. It won't be the final build you stick with you'll learn as you play more what gear sets will improve your specific playstyle and role more. I've been playing for a little over a year and to this day builds get tweaked. It's what keeps the game interesting
