Are there any sets in diablo 3

In general, dual-wielding aids fast attacks, resource generation, abilities that have a chance to trigger on hit, attribute bonuses, and gem socketing.

Two-handed weapons empower high weapon damage attacks, critical hits and area of effect attacks. Not every weapon or piece of armor is right for every hero. Most equipment is restricted by level. For example, a level 3 Barbarian cannot wield an axe that requires level 8. Similarly, some equipment is restricted by character class.

For example, certain ranged weapons are usable only by Demon Hunters, and massive mighty weapons can only be used by Barbarians.

Each hero has unique, class-specific equipment. Each piece of equipment also has a durability rating: a measure of how much damage it can take before it breaks and is no longer useful. As you use a piece of equipment, its durability decreases slightly; when you take damage, the durability of your equipment decreases more noticeably, and, when you die, the durability of all of your equipped items drops significantly.

When an item runs out of durability, it no longer provides you with any bonuses, even if you still have it equipped. The merchants who hawk their wares in town can repair damaged items for a price. Every item in Diablo III has a quality level, indicated by the color of its name and accompanying text.

Newly discovered set and legendary items must be identified to reveal their properties. You can identify an item by right-clicking on it or using the Book of Cain icon on your minimap to identify every item in your inventory at once PC or by selecting it in your inventory Console. Beyond straightforward attribute bonuses, there are other properties available on equipment: weapons that leech the life of monsters, boots that increase your movement speed, armor that improves your rate of health regeneration, and many more mysterious abilities.

Some of these items can be purchased, while others are rare and must be found. Here are a few examples of these limited-use items:. Potions are mystical draughts that provide you with quick healing, restoring a portion of your Life. More powerful versions of healing potions, able to provide you with additional boons, are also rumored to exist. The powerful magic of potions prevents them from being consumed in rapid succession; after drinking a potion, you must wait for a cooldown period before using another one.

Dyes are used to change the color of your armor. Gems are valuable and rare stones that litter the world. Once found, they can be set into equipment with sockets, providing a variety of benefits, including increased elemental damage and resistances, increased chance to find magic items, armor bonuses, and more.

Rare quality items are superior to Magic items and often have more enhancements to your stats than blues do. The next two qualities are roughly at the same power level.

Set items also known as green quality items and Legendary items also called orange quality items are considered the best gear available. Unlike Legendaries, which are powerful items in their own right, part of the power of a Set item is that when worn with other pieces of the same set it will grand a greater bonus.

These Set Bonuses are often highly sought after because they can enhance a playstyle, as in the case of the Wrath of the Wastes set which buffs Rend and Whirlwind and rewards a Barbarian player who is using those two skills.

Legendaries are more stand-alone items, such as the Burst of Wrath. Most sets tend to be armor pieces, but not all — there are weapon sets, ring sets, ring and amulet sets, and even sets that include armor pieces and weapons such as the Immortal King set. Both Set pieces and Legendaries have three variations. There are the standard Set and Legendary items, then Ancient Set and Ancient Legendary items which are stronger, and finally Primal Ancient pieces which are even better still.

You will only find Primal Ancient pieces from solo Greater Rift 70 and above, which Ancient Set and Ancient Legendary pieces have a chance to drop on Torment I and a higher chance on higher Torment difficulties. And that wraps up how gear works in Diablo 3. Always pay attention to the DPS on weapon drops, the armor value on armor pieces, and the stats on rings and amulets.
