Season 21: Sets Abound

Make season 21 the season of cubing set bonuses. You have to sacrifice the appropriate number of pieces to the cube, but you can now select set bonuses. In order for you to have the 3 (or 4) piece bonus, you must have the 2 piece bonus either worn or selected in your cube. If you want the 6 piece bonus, you either have to wear enough pieces of it or have the 2 and 4 piece bonuses selected in your cube, mix and match style. Sets in the cube count against LoN/D. RoRG only works on sets you are wearing.

Wanna use two 6 piece sets? Go ahead. Want a bunch of 2 piece options like rings and amulet sets or 2 weapon sets? Got you covered. You got the 4 piece bonus and 1 worn piece plus RoRG? 6 piece bonus.

Will it make things crazy easy? You bet. But you’re already hitting GR 100+ and the most dedicated are reaching 130+. And it’ll be over in 3 months anyway.

Don’t bother with my profile here. I’ve moved to the Switch and haven’t played PC in like 2 or 3 years.

well, can we just go ahead and close this thread then? we have enough trolls here

Imagine being this close-minded over something so trivial.

Actually, this may not be a bad idea.

I’d love to see things reversed where we wear legendaries and need to ‘extract’ all 6 pieces of a class set into the cube to get the set powers.

The cube can have four slots…

  • one for picking your class set
  • one for other armour sets incl crafted ones
  • one for weapon sets
  • one for 2pc jewellery sets

Imagine how creative builds would be if sets were from a passive tree like they should have been all along!

Imagine the power creep though.

First thing that came to my mind would be a grenade DH build that uses 2 piece Shadow with 6 piece UE. Just spam Grenades all the time, the 6000% damage bonus from the 2 piece, alone, would knock every single other build out of the water immediately.

It is a nice idea, totally overpowered though. Even with one set in the cube would offset everything.

Unless the season lasted two weeks :smiley:

This idea is good for some classes but I don’t think it helps others. (Which going off s20 theme blizzard is fine with)

For example wds would run arachr/helltooth firebats and be insane for the season. Yay fun.

Necros would make some sort of Lance build that is more powerful then current Lance builds

I’m not sure what Barb’s would do. Maybe ik charge thingy

Wiz will probably be an reverse archon build.

Monk would use bells with Inna/woko combo

Sader I have no idea on

But dhs would do n6m6 and cluster farm everything. I just don’t see anything stronger. Unless you can ue6/m6 combo.

Or…
Cube a set and make a LoD build.
Cube a set and use the smaller ones, like Blackthorn’s and the crafted… The ideas are unlimited, the power tenfold so.
I have a hard time believing it would come true.

Probably would not be any, they would have balanced legendary items all along which is what they should have done from the start!

I would prefer that S21 theme that has built-in Nemesis, Glove Shrine and Flavor of Time effect for your character and buff the shrine/pylon power by double.

So your character doesn’t need to wear Nemesis Bracer and Flavor of Time when pushing GR at S21.

hardly. if you’re not playing on PC, especially in 3 years, then you shouldn’t be posting on PC forums. imagine being so closed-minded that you can’t distinguish that.
