Damage, sustain, protection sets

Quick question, is there any resource out there that breaks out the sets by these general archetypes by chance?

If not, any quick rules of thumb that really define the consensus on what makes a set a principally damage, sustain or protection set?

Thanks.

    Don't think a resource like this exists but it's kinda self explanatory.

    Set bonuses like weapon/spell damage, penetration, damage procs are for damage sets. Sets with mag/stam recovery, cost reduction, resource return procs are sustain sets. And sets with bonuses like resistances, shields, defensive buffs like evasion or protection are defensive sets.

    Yes I get that, and appreciate the feedback btw.

    But what I'm looking for is whether someone has already divvied them up by their respective categories. There are a ton of sets, and being able to comb through by type to speed up build research would be helpful.

    You can just look at what they bring to distinguish what they are

    Not exactly what you need, but there are pre-made and custom filters

    UnfifiedGaming did a decent job categorizing the sets for stamina and magicka into damage, sustain and tank sets in the following two videos:

    Came here to point to those videos. They aren't 100% comprehensive, but they do a decent job.

    Sustain and damage are basically interchangeable since you can typically exchange regen for damage and vice versa through glyphs, mundus, and race.
