Armor set bonus

Overview

Under Armor 3.0, each armor set has set bonuses that replace the older origin traits. The first bonus activates when you wear two matching pieces from one set, and a stronger bonus activates at four matching pieces.

Builds

A common setup runs four pieces of one legendary set plus one Exotic armor piece. You can also mix two separate 2-piece bonuses from different sets with one Exotic.

Examples

Dreambane has a 2-piece bonus, Nightmarish Power, and a 4-piece bonus, Nightmarish Resilience. Set bonuses are passive and do not need to be activated.
