As I recall from the stuff i've read on gear sets is that items that are in a gear set wont be able to be tied to another gear set and will be taken out of your inventory. and that you can't swap out individual pieces because of the same problem. if for example I have a gear set that is my full blm af and I equip that set I apparantly can't then swap the body for a militia robe because it will unequip the full gear set because of how the sets are stored. A set can only be equipped or not equipped. To be selective it seems I would have to take all the gear out of the set and equip it piece by piece from my inventory. the same restriction that is preventing 1 item being used in multiple sets.

and then people have mulitple sets. warriors may have a set of gear for berserk a set for rampage. whms have a set of gear for healing and a set for enhancing. blms have high damage and high acc sets. plds have hp builds emnity builds etc. and not to mention swapping out 1 or 2 pieces here or there. blm in particular if i find i get a couple of resists i wont just swap to a high macc build i might just swap one piece of gear and see if thats enough first.

it seems to me a much easier solution would simply be have an inventory tab dedicated to gear and let us write macros big enough to equip a full set in one macro 18-20 lines or something. no issues of needing multiple items or using mixmatching pieces.
