I am returning player to D3 and I have had a problem using set items. As soon as i equip 2+ more set items from the same set activating set bonus, my dmg is reduced a lot. I do not mean stats. I am currently on T10 playing comfortably. If i was to use 2 or more items in set, It would be like a lvl1 walking into a lvl100 zone.
I know a lot of players use set items so I want to know what am i missing. Do I need to wait and use the full complete set to not have this happen?
I have only been playing with legendary items and i have been progressing fast. I would like to use set items though in the current state for my experience i would need to basically need to return to T1 or so from T10 my current.
I can’t imagine this experience is normal as I know most players want to speed through T lvls and have max dmg…
Your Legacy of Dreams gem power is inactivated when you have a set bonus active. This gem is giving you a big damage bonus, and so if you equip 2 pieces of the same set and gain a set bonus and lose the gem power, your damage goes way down.
Yes. Keep using Legacy of Dreams without set bonuses until you have a full 6p set to switch to.
It also depends on what you have equipped before you add a set and whether you’re getting comparable bonuses. For example, if you have a skill like say, seismic slam, and are using Fjord Cutter, Bracers of Destruction, and Girdle of Giants and then swap out the belt and whatever boots… you might find yourself doing significantly less damage as you no longer get the synergy.
But, yeah, Legacy of Dreams is great until you have a set you want to use (technically you only need 5 pieces if using/Cubing the Ring of Royal Grandeur) or deciding to F it and keep on using the gem instead.
Thank you for the response. I was not aware activating a 6p set bonus would make the legacy of dreams inactive.
Not SIX-piece bonus, ANY set bonus will invalidate the LoD effect.

2pc bonus deactivates it.
I am also using the 2pc rings that increases Ancient legendary by 750%. I have not had the massive significant dmg loss with that. It was why i was confused and needed to ask. I am only wearing about 3 Ancients at the moment, so. Thank you for the responses. I know it was a newbie question, sorry lol
No use using LON gem and those two set rings together. If get the bonus of the two set rings that overrides LON gem as well, they do not stack. Either use another gem or use two other rings that give way more damage like convention of elements and another to give you some def, cd reduction or whatever you like.
There are some good guides on Icyveins and Maxroll if want more information about game, while not directly look up strongest possible builds. (Although those are there as well ofc. :P)
