Armor set

Class Sets

Every class (excluding Death Knights, who do not have a dungeon set) has "dungeon", "raid" and "PvP" equipment sets available to them. These sets are typically head, shoulder, chest, wrist, hands, waist, legs, and feet items (8 pieces altogether), but set composition can vary dramatically.

Theoretically, these sets benefit the activity one engages in to acquire them: PvP sets are best in PvP situations, raid sets in raid situations, etc., but some players have found it more beneficial to mix and match.

All sets give extra bonuses when wearing multiple pieces of the set.

Non-Class Sets

Non-class sets are not restricted by class. Any class that is qualified to wear the armor type can wear the set.

However, some sets, including all Dungeon 1 and some Dungeon 3 sets, are aimed at specific classes due to the bonuses on the sets. All non-class sets give extra bonuses when wearing multiple pieces of the set.
