=Item Set Failings=

Item Sets were meant to be one of the coolest features of Diablo II. There were going to be noticeable effects when the whole set was equipped, including different graphics on your character in the game, and of course huge secret bonuses.

Unfortunately, as Blizzard has admitted, this very cool concept isn't implemented all that well in Diablo II. Set items aren't good enough to wear on their own in 95% of the cases, and the set bonuses aren't that good either. But there are improvements in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.

==D2X Improvements==

[[Image:x-taebaeks-glory-txt.jpg|left|frame|D2 Expansion, Elite Set Item]]Item sets are hugely improved in the Diablo II [[Expansion]]. In D2 Classic, item sets were all comprised of normal items, none of which were especially worth wearing. There were no partial set bonuses, and even the full set bonuses weren't very good, and certainly weren't good enough to be worth tying up 3 or 4 or 6 of your inventory slots.

In the expansion all the original 16 item sets are much improved by the addition of substantial partial set bonuses. The item types are still all regular and none of those old sets will serve a combat character into nightmare or hell, but they can be useful for a spellcaster.

The expansion pack also added 16 new item sets, and those are much more viable long term. See the [[:Category:Set_Items|individual item set pages]] for full details, stats, and equipment recommendations.
