I don't think you understand what unique means. If multiple pieces give multiple buffs, each buff becomes LESS unique.

I don't think you understand.
As of now there are a few armor sets, with this there will be hundreds of potential sets.
Sure the buff will no longer to be specific to that set but it creates so many new sets that it doesn't matter.

Summarizing what you just stated:
"quantity over quality"

Don't put words in my mouth.
This gives both quality and quantity, you make your own set instead of having to deal with a pre made one.

Well, that's a call that needs to be made by a person with a special job: a beta tester.
I'm not a beta tester, so I just used my gut. But something tells me that cutting the bonuses into three equal pieces won't work for every armor set... then again, I'm not a beta tester, so what do I know?
If this suggestion gains support to the point that we'll actually have beta testers testing it out, then my cup runneth over.

I like the general concept of this, but it would require careful rebalancing as to make sure it was okay. Right away, I can see one I'd like to use: a combination of Palladium/Spectre Hood/magic Chlorophyte to give myself a high damage stat while still allowing for rapid healing.

Unsatisfactory. You cannot simply say that "you'll burn that bridge when you come to it". You change your suggestion based on early feedback.

The point of feedback is to get another point of view, ignoring feedback is a poor decision.
In any case maybe the full set bonus gets the highest amount of the effect? Just an idea.

I mean like 30:30:40 or something along those lines, not 0:0:100

Maybe have it default to the defensive one because it helps any class?
You're asking me? Actually I didn't think that far ahead.

You know, I always had a feeling in the back of my mind that set bonuses in Terraria were restrictive, and I wondered what it would be like to have bonuses that were applied based on specific pieces of armor that could be mixed and matched. However, I also can't help but wonder if it's too late to change it to a system like this...

I'd say that Beetle or other similar situations should have a default set bonus that only applies when the non-special parts (e.g. the beetle leggings and helm) are combined with a different armor piece.

I'm afraid that something like that might have to be required.

I've wondered the same thing - I kept restricting my armours to full sets to get the bonus. But seemingly few sets have worthwhile bonuses. The ability to mix and match gives so much more flexibility and ability to customise your bonuses.
Plus, Terraria's "Social" slot (I swear, every RPG (if not, then every game) should have one of these) still lets you wear a full vanity set as you like. So you can have a hideous combination of armour for bonuses and still look nice due to the social set.
