Just wondering what best set items to upgrade in next patch?
I only really had laying of hands bramble mitts in mind, but I think they are already elite.
Maybe something in the angelic set can be upped to accompany ring and amulet combo?
What will be best will also depend on new set bonusses for at least a part.
Beyond that I would say all sets that are reasonably unusable since they have a low level weapon like Szasabi will be at least worth a look as may become way more usable, even if none will turn out to become OP outliers compared to current Runewords like Grief. They may well become very usable for late NM and early hell and if devs go overboard with set bonus on one of those it may well become close to Bis.
The list below will give you a general idea of the more valuable set items and whether they will be upgradeable with the new cube recipe:

However, included in the patch there will be actual changes to some of the set items, with new or improved bonuses. So the list above will likely change.
upgrading armor doesn’t do much anyways. Some more def, wow cool doesn’t do anything anyways.
weapons nowadays need not only dmg but also crushing blow and ignore def. If those mods are not on any set weapon, they still stay useless.
