Do all end game builds in Diablo 3 use set items?
I am using set items now and the difference between with and without is HUGE.
Does all end level game builds in Diablo 3 use set items?
Is it possible without set items?
Background:
I used to be a level 180 Diablo 3 barbarian. I used barbarian because I want to leech. I just want to survive and let someone good deal damage. I've been playing for a long time and never got past torment 3. Before RoS I did less than MP 3.
Then, long story short, I tried set items.
Now, I can solo torment X easily.

That depends on your definition of set pieces.
Every single viable end game build uses some set pieces. Most of them rely on a full six piece class set. However, there are a few builds that don't use the class sets. These, invariably, use the Legacy of Nightmares ring set, which gives both a damage boost and damage resistance based on how many ancient items you have, but only as long as you don't have any other set BONUSES (you can have other set pieces, but generally you'll want legendaries with beneficial affixes).
The set piece bonuses are just too good to have any competition from ordinary legendaries in the absence of the LoN rings.

Are Set Items good in Diablo 3?
Set Items are special items introduced in Diablo II and continued on into Diablo III. They are like Unique Items, in the way that every time you find the same item, it has the same attributes. However, in general, Set Items are a tad weaker than Unique Items, or so called "Uniques".How do I get the endgame gear in Diablo 3?
Set items do count as legendary for LoD. And yes, as long as you don't activate their set bonus, you will benefit from the gem.Diablo 3 What To Do After 70 \u0026 How To Get Better Gear - Season 26
