Diablo 5 Is Bringing Back Set Items, But Wants To Avoid Their Biggest Problem
One of the most satisfying things about the Diablo games is their loot grind, and in Diablo 5 , Blizzard has plans to keep you clicking enemies to death for a long time in pursuit of an elusive piece of armor or weapon.
AI Summary
Blizzard confirmed that Diablo 5 will reintroduce gear‑based set items, restoring the classic loot mechanic that lets players chase specific armor or weapon pieces. Diablo 4 launched without set items, relying instead on the Talisman system to grant passive bonuses, set effects and unique powers without swapping gear. Executive producer Matt Zitterman said the team is drawing inspiration from Diablo 2, Diablo 3 and the successes of Diablo 4 to create a game that feels familiar to fans of any previous entry. This set‑item return aims to blend past designs while avoiding the issues that arose from their earlier removal.
