Updated for Game Update 4.0!
(This is based directly on Chill’s original post, that was subsequently updated for the set bonus changes introduced in Game Update 2.0 and updated in Game Update 2.7, and further updated for the changes in Game Update 3.0)
It seems every time I look for one of these online I end up with a dead link or a random reference that doesn’t help. So here they are.
In Game Update 3.0, 2-piece, 4-piece and 6-piece bonuses were introduced. This means that there are now 7 item slots (head, chest, hands, waist, legs, feet, wrist) with gear that can have a set bonus.
Also in Game Update 3.0, the set bonuses for PvE and PvP were made the same. However, the sets do not mix and match; 3 pieces of PvE Vindicator and 1 of PvP Vindicator will not give the 4-piece bonus (instead, only the PvE 2-piece bonus will be active).
In Game Update 4.0, there were no major changes (still 2-piece, 4-piece and 6-piece bonuses, and PvE and PvP bonuses are the same). However, there were some minor tweaks to the various bonuses.
The 2-, 4- and 6-piece information below is from information found in-game, and is copyright BioWare.
