Set Items
From Diablo Wiki
Set items are like Unique Items, in that every time you find the same item it has the same attributes. However, in general Set items are a tad weaker than Uniques. This is because Set items are each part of specific sets, and if you equip the entire set you get an extra set of bonus affixes, hence the name "Set items." Set items are denoted by their name appearing in bright green.
[edit] Partial Set Bonus
At first, you had to equip an entire set of items to get any bonus effects at all. With the Diablo 2 expansion pack Lord of Destruction, a Partial Set Bonus feature was added to the sets that include more than two items. For each item you equip past the first, there is an extra magic affix added, until you put together the whole set. This means it's no longer necessary to equip an entire set to get some very useful bonuses.
[edit] New Full Set Bonuses
Some of the new sets added in Lord of Destruction give particularly interesting bonuses upon completion. Many will give you bonuses that are not normally found on Magic or Rare items. One of them (Trang-Oul's Avatar, a set for Necromancers) will even transform you into a Vampire enemy, and give you three of the Sorceress' Fire Skills!
[edit] Class Sets
Each class in Diablo II has a set specifically built for them. Upon the completion of these sets, Your character will get a golden light shining around them, except for when using Trang-Oul's Avatar, your character will transform into a Ghoul Lord, and when using Natalya's Odium, your Assassian will appear faded.
