Are sets just garbage?

yes, most sets are garbage. by the time u finally found a complete set(if you didn't trade) you would find better su's already/crafted gear already

Sets are garbage, by the time you find them, they are garbage.

They are supposes to be bridge items to let you transition from TU to SU, but you cant find them when you need them.

not all sets are garbage. like @Battery said, they are supposed to transition you from TU's ---> Sets ---> SU.

They just need to see some kind of rework... They wasn't really touched anyhow since they been created (not counting some nerfs). And need to have some low-lvl area where you can easy get sets but not S/SSUs. By now they're not that bad but they're still absurdly annoying to gather and you will get S/SSU/craft equip equal or almost equal to set (if not better..) alot faster.

but for now the transition is TU's>Craft's>SU's.

I personally think it could be cool if they make sets that made farming a certain area easier/faster if you collected it

Example: i play hammerzon if i Got a set that maybe gave me 200% more dps and unlocked purify and more movement speed While in Duncraig and only in duncraig

But dont know if its possible at all

As some people already said, they'd need to drop earlier to be useful.

Sigma changed base types to make most drops more frequent.

I would love if sets were level 70 gear, starting to drop in circa Act 2 Nightmare at a tangible rates.

Right now green items are signet fodder 95% of the time. Sometimes you find a good base item such as Witchhunter's Hood which is great for replacing your TU or RW. But these are few and far between. Most set items have disproportionately high requirements (strength, rarity) for their affixes. And getting a full set playing ssf isn't very feasible. By that time you will have some SU's, perhaps a great rune too. And crapload of shrines to come up with something better than sets.

I think they dont need to drop much earlier because then TUs etc. are good enough ..... they need to be better ..... my opinion
