Mix-n-match PvP set?

For the Grim PvP set, I noticed that you can have 1 Bane piece & 1 Diabolist piece and still hit the 2-piece bonus. Same stands for the 4-set bonus I'm assuming. Is this a bug or intended?

I guess this means I can't double dip into the 450 ArmorPen with 2 half-sets. Unless I use T1 for 400 ArmorPen :(

    It seems to be intended. I'm using half t1 half t2 currently however I'll be working towards t3 bane to replace my t1.

    The 4 set bonuses are usually better than having 2 lots of 450 stats. the stats give a small % bonus to whatever you choose to increase but a 4 set bonus can give you much more survivability or dmg depending on what it is.

    Well as I stand right now I get 3.5% more pen from the 450 AP. On the other hand 7% sounds good but it's only when they are under 20% health. It's "okay" however against anyone with a proper PvP build they will not be sticking around you with under 20% health. For something like HR on the other hand the 4 set bonus makes you a lot tankier due to so many heal ticks coming in due to high deflect chance.

    I'm inclined to agree with Mr Hinky... if they're below 20% health, they're most likely dead anyway. Especially if you use Killing Flames, and you don't try to be a yolo solo hero 5v1 :p

    The warlock bonus is just +7-9% more damage vs targets below 20% health. Not too much to write home about.

    Seems like a worse version of the Tiefling passive. Imagine if HR's 4-set bonus gave +5% Crit Severity ala Half-Orcs :eek:

    And GWF's 4-set bonus would give 3 more heroic feat points? :O
