Item Sets
These sets have a variety of complicated small benefits usually added to a variety of items, making them hard to evaluate usually. I’m going by RAW for the color evaluation that you do not need to wield the weapons while describing why in the text wielding weapons is either good or bad — they merely need to be worn as per Adventurer’s Vault 2, page 92. If you do need to wield weapons, I give the color rating.
Colors:
Gold - A must have. You're literally hurting your character if you don't take this.
Sky blue - "Very Strong" - An exceptionally strong choice.
Blue - "Strong"- A solid choice but nothing awe-inspiring.
Black - "Average" -This is generally a fairly mediocre choice, or an otherwise good power with a noticable drawback. Optimizers will try to avoid these, but in most games you won't notice a discrepancy in power level if you go with a few of these.
Purple - "Weak" This option is weak, underpowered, or very situational. These choices won't show up in most optimized builds.
Red - "Very Weak" - Either totally overshadowed by another option, or just completely bad. These kinds of choices are generally avoided.
Green- "Too variable to rate"- Sometimes something is so variable that giving an overall rating is impossible or misleading.

DraXXX = Dragon Issue XXX
