LGS set bonus questions

I was tempted to go for the 5 pieces bonus but the wikia doesn't explain too well what you actually need to accomplish this

Quote:
5 piece set bonus appears when you have both 2 and 4 piece bonus active.


And says nothing on how to get the material or ethereal version (what if I have a piece with 2 material and 1 ethereal?)

If I have 4 pieces on, obviously, I also have 2. I must be missing something. Anyone figured how this works and cares to share some light?

Also, In terms of survivability, what do you think it's best to go for?

On one side I wanted to make 2 items with DOM/DOM/OPP just to get the 4 pieces DOM (14% sp) and the 2 OPP (10% hp) since I can't simply go for raw hp/sp tiers as they count for ESC and give dodge that I don't need so, I figured to get some more insight from someone who has tangled with LGS more than me. I only got the materials to start crafting one now after the "vacation" I took years ago.


PS: The LGS greensteel is confusing AF. It could have been a chance to streamline it a little bit compared to the heroic one but they really dropped the ball on it. And I need to be in epic shroud to craft it too? Sigh......

For 5 piece sets
Material/Ethereal are exclusive.
Dominion/Escalation/Opposition are exclusive.

You get the 5 piece set as a cross. E.x., ender is material opposition.

2 piece opposition for HP is standard for all builds. You can swap on/off more opposition for DPS or survivability if your gearing accommodates swaps.

2 piece dominion for SP is standard for casters if they make the accommodations (example). Generally you want the SP bonus to go in the same spots as an HP bonus set so you can switch as needed. The two sets are exclusive.

There is a way to get the general SP item with an HP bonus but AFAIK its the only way to mix sets. That may be what's confusing you at the moment.

Thank you WFB. So far the thing that pisses me off about LGS is that you have to put stuff you MIGHT not want in order to get the set you want. EX

HP/SP count as escalation and the escalation set is not HP/SP related so you have to swap on spell crit damage (and I'm playing a caster right now so no biggie) or +2 quality saves/17 quality elemental resistance/more unconscious range.

Not saying they are useless but for the purpose of making a more "universally" useful LGS..well, they kinda are. I like the heroic version better but hey. I'll manage.

I'll make the ESC set with hp when I play a rogue/ranger/monk, it looks like the only way to benefit from everything at once

I’m finally going to get my ass in gear and make me some LGS. Do weapons count in the set bonuses?  Or just accessories? It reads like it’s just accessories but I wanted to check before making anything significant.
