I'm a hipster so I don't use the Skull Helm. Also fights are too RNG anyways. All that matters is who goes first or crits most of the time.

Some of the sets can be seen here also (I think maybe just ones with set bonus?) I think Aurum made it: List of Unofficial Sets
On somewhat related note: Interestingly, official sets, while recognized as a set ingame, don't give any set bonus.
Huh, that's true, I never actually never noticed or thought about that. When Observer was made a set, did you ask specifically to have a set bonus? Could be why that started. CK should give those official sets bonuses 
Agreed, all sets should have something. No doubt there was a reason at the time, but don't recall

Any idea what you'd want to change about that, if you could?
I think they're not as bad as they seem, but could do with tweaking.
For instance, we do have Defence stat as well, which acts like shield.
When we mess with the level caps, items will become more of a differentiator, and I'd like people to be very particular about the ones they're using. Perhaps we need to amplify the effects of all items. I can rebake the attribs automatically when the upper bounds are changed. Needs some proper testing. Perhaps we should have testing days were we can vote for whether a change is an improvement.
Also related: special effects (burn damage, poisoning, etc.) which items could have as a % chance of being applied, which would be like a negative skill buff and would last outside of the attack.
Unfortunately I don't pay attention to fights or check attack log to see if I ever lose an attack against someone in my swift kill list. Just when I attack Jackk. So my experience is trying to beat Jackk. I certainly overstated the RNG. But it is there, which is good. I could potentially beat Jackk, despite his power over me, but I have to rely on that RNG which has not happened in a long time. But it could happen, and has happened, so it's working well right now. Speed does end up playing the biggest factor when it comes to fighting people around your level though, as fights are fast. We might be doing too much damage in PvP. Some stats, like attack, could be lowered in a PvP fight to change that, and make fights slightly longer. That would introduce more chances for RNG stats to work. Speed could even potentially just be removed, and make who goes first completely random. But I dunno, power balance is a hard one in games. Changing one thing with combat or stats is going to change another part of it.
