Thanks for your reply.
I'm from the era of game that your describe. I remember SO's being the thing everyone was after. But since coming to Homecoming around Christmas of last year, it seems sets are what everyone suggests. I have a couple of 50s fleshed out in level 53 SO's but they just don't compete next to other players. They are still fun to play. However as a person new to Sets, I tend to rely on other players experience and use their guides. I just found most of the Regen tank builds, I looked at, used Workbench Inventions instead of named set pieces. Kinda felt under gunned when compared to Ice armor tanks or Earth tanks.
