wtf Set bonuses?

I am making two G15 second cast armor sets. One is a complete HA set fo rmy BM, Barb, and Seeker. The other is partial, for my Sin and Archer.

So far, I have two pieces of each. Wrists and boots HA, hat and pants LA.

I'm getting a set bonus if I have the boots and hat equipped, IE, LA hat and HA boots. I also get the same bonus if I have the wrists and boots equipped. Or, the hat and pants. If I equip all 4, I don't get anything else, just 5 attack levels.

What's going on? Did set bonuses for Second Cast stuff get broken recently, or is all second cast really the 'same set', even though they are titled as being different? This is rather annoying, as on my BM, I'd (for now) like to get both set bonuses, IE, +10 attack levels.

>_> This is just lame D:
101 Sage Sin*/Archer
100 Demon BM*/Barb
96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
95 Demon Wiz/
94 Sage Veno
85 Psy/80 Mystic
And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    all TT 2nd cast bonus are the same
    all Lunar 2nd cast bonus are the same also

    you could have 2 la 2 ha and 2 aa 2nd cast pieces and you would still get the 5atk/10def/3def for the 6/6 bonus as long as all of them were of the same gear base.
    only way to get 10 atk lvs with that is to get 2 TT and 2 lunar 2nd cast.

    It's five pieces for +10 defense levels, not four (and not attack levels). That has been that way since Nirvana was implemented.

    I did a little pwcalc fun just to see what you were talking about. I went Lunar because I could not for the life of me remember what the TT-based Nirvana was called.

    On the Calc, it does state that you do get 10 attack levels for the two set bonuses. Please Screenshot and submit a ticket of your gear screen and player screen open, showing the only 5 attack levels for all four pieces being on.

    That is the best I can say.

    I can also say that I have too much time on my hands.
    That link is me putting six lunar nirvana pieces on one blademaster: LA pants and boots, HA chest and bracers, AA hat and cape. Why you would want to do that? No idea. Maybe you like attack levels? *shrug*

    Why the rage? It's a draining emotion.

    The panda would point to Decus as having the right answer here. It is indeed 5, not 4, pieces needed to recieve the extra +10.

    Not looking for 10 def levels, looking for 10 attack levels. >_>

    Eh. Maybe I'll make G16 HA instead, or something.

    I don't know, maybe because I've never made two sets of second cast?
