Crafted Sets Apparently Getting Buffed?!

So I've heard that crafted sets were getting a big buff to their 2, 3, and 4 set bonus. Is this true and will any of the crafted sets become more viable and able to compete with other "Best in Slot" if this is the case?

    Read the patch notes for yourself! It's never a good idea to rely on what you hear is getting buffed/nerfed. If you do that, you'll be (a) occasionally misinformed (as in this case) and (b) perpetually a step behind.

    If gilliam and alcast are right, then next patch is likely to be 5 crafted + 5 dropped + 1 monster. Its not going to be worth having any monster sets in 2 pieces, just one piece for the stat boost.

    Most decent setups will be either Julianos, Hundings Rage, Night Mothers Gaze, Torugs Pact or Seducer based.

    That's because it has nothing to do with crafted sets, just Julianos in particular, in the form of a buff to crit set bonuses. Will be a buff to sets like Infallible Aether as well.

    Universally adjusted the values of some 1, 2, 3, and 4-piece bonus stats for all Item Sets:
    Max Health, Magicka, or Stamina has been increased by 13.3%
    Weapon Critical or Spell Critical rating has been increased by 55%
    Physical or Spell Resistance has been increased by 13.8%
    Physical or Spell Penetration has been decreased by 22%

    Physical or Spell Penetration has been decreased by 22%

    So basically any set that gives more resources, more resistance, or more critical are getting buffs. Critical getting a major buff.

    Conversely sets giving more penetration are getting nerfed.

    While Julianos is getting a major buff, I don't think the Healer meta will change much. SPC/Worm's/Healing Mage 5 item bonus is still probably more preferable.

    I believe there was also mention of major/minor (dependent on perspective) nerf to Plague Doctor and Green Pact.

    There's a couple sets getting nerfs. Mostly sets that allow the player to have high mag or health pools. Some sets are getting a buff to their fifth piece too.

    Last time I checked, they werent changed and its an indirect nerf: regular +stat bonuses are getting buffed, and willpower/agility stays the same.

    Nothing about 5th set bonus adjustment, unless specifically mentioned like Plague Doctors and Necropotence has been mentioned.

    Don't know about you, but since I'm dual wield, I can do 5pc Leviathan, 5pc Hunding's, and 2pc Monster (Selene) no problem...Which will soon be my Warden's current set once I replace Red Mountain with Leviathan.

    My Warden has identical set as yours, but he's usually a tank. It's my spare DPS set for questing and stuff. Incidentally I have been keeping Leviathan set and accessories so I was planning on replacing Red Mt w/ it as well.

    For added fun make each set piece a totally contrasting color from the other pieces. This sounds like it is going to be fun making things again!
