After the recent addition of the Gilded variants of the Gunsmoke Spiritual set, the thought crossed my mind of trying to bring in line some other weapon-based set effects. Namely, the set that saw a change to it's function in an earlier patch of the game, the Hayabusa set.
The general consensus seems to be that post-nerf, these daggers are largely less favored, given that their special effects are underwhelming and very niche in their function. This isn't a balance post, though, so I won't go into the details and logistics of 'this should be stronger' or so on, so forth, but I DO believe that weapon sets and sets in general like this have a good place in the game, and they should have some means of nudging them to be able to keep up with the obvious heavy contenders in the ring. Which is why I brought up the Gunsmoke Spiritual set, and how the Gilded variants allow someone to make use of the Double Dao skill while using two of one of the guns. While this doesn't save that set or make it suddenly 'broken' or what have you, it DOES succeed in making the set a more accessible option in more builds. The thematic of the set while mostly unchanged, is easier to bring to use in a way where it both fits your character, and isn't too hard a knee cap to yourself for trying to use it.
I'm essentially suggesting a Gilded(or something similar) option for the Hayabusa set, that either functions as a means of being able to swap between which main-hand abilities you can make use of, or outright giving the option to stack both Sun and Moon crests when using the 'Gilded' version of the set.
Set effects like these have a chance to be enriching to the game, either by shaking up a fight with something new and surprising, or by providing characters with means to more tangibly reflect certain aspects of their story in their builds and how they fight. I believe we should try to bring more of these sets into the limelight, not to make them as strong as their meta counterparts, but to at least give more players the option to try something new.

I wandered far, a lust for something new. I found myself, out in the expanse.
