Equipment that works together

A sword and shield can beat a two-handed weapon even when neither piece is an upgrade on its own. Set pieces can also become worthwhile only when worn together. Equip best previously rejected these combinations because it compared one item at a time.

The manual button now checks coordinated hand choices and groups of matching set pieces after comparing individual upgrades. It can also equip an offhand that becomes useful after the weapon changes, in the same click. The previous equipment stays in the backpack.

Favorites, class and level requirements, ownership and backpack space remain protected. A combination is applied only when every selected piece fits and the complete result improves the estimated build score. Automatic hunting keeps its existing equipment policy.

The search is limited to six candidates per hand and the strongest individual copy of each set slot, including groups of all available matching pieces. It is a bounded build heuristic, not an exhaustive search or a measurement of combat DPS.
