[Idea] New item sets

Grim Dawn Ideas and Feedback
1

I know, I know, FG is comming soon and it will feature a ton of new sets and uniques. But I still wanted to share my set ideas with everyone and dream that maybe some day after FG is released my sets will be added to the game. I have a few ideas in mind and I’ll post them when I have free time.

With that said, I would like to introduce my first set - Mad Clown’s “Circus of Insanity” - chaos based melee conjurer set.

The story behind this set is simple - one of the rifts pulled one of the circuses (which I assume existed in the world of Cairn before Grim Dawn) and tainted the things inside with chaos energy - including this very set.

So recently I have tried to make a build that uses the Acid Grasping Vines (check it out if you are interested) as it’s main source of dealing damage. It didn’t go as bad as I’ve expected, but I’ve come to a conclusion that this type of a build needs its own dedicated set. Here are my thoughts on how this kind of set may look like:

Update. Added a Shaman/Occultist/Nightblade set that focuses on acid Grasping Vines.

I hope to see a Poison Ivy set… I have a Poison Ivy characters and built her around the weapon Misery, but still cannot utilize Grasping Vines effectively.
