I got my Ring of Royal Grandeur so with that I'm trying to figure out some of the better set combinations to go after. At the moment I'm figuring a combination of Zuni's, Cains, and Blackthorns would be pretty good, saving the Helm (Mask of Jeram), Glove (Tasker & Theo), and Ring1 (RoRG) slots. Are there any other notable set bonuses or legendary specials that I would want to be aware of? Essentially I'm wondering if there are any other fun ones out there that I could fit in with wanting at the least a full Zuni, Cains, and the helm/glove combination for pets.
Ring+Mojo are doable. Helm: Saved for Jeram.
Leaves feet+Chest.
Cains:
Helm (saved).
Boots.
Gloves (saved for Tasker).
Legs.
So that locks boots+legs for the cains as the two other pieces are saved for tasker and jerams.
That means Zuni's has to use chest+ring+mojo.
Meanwhile, Blackthornes is -
Neck (doable).
Chest (nope).
Legs (nope).
Belt (doable).
Boots (nope).
You'd never get to 4 set blackthornes... Or am I wrong?
All that aside, you have bracers+shoulders not utilised by anything. Look intohttp://eu.battle.net/d3/en/artisan/blacksmith/recipe/aughilds-search and matching shoulders.
I'd try and get Aughild's in there over Cain's, if possible. 15% elite damage is quite strong, probably stronger than 8% AS. Consider that MF works at a hugely reduced rate for Legendary finding, so killing the thing that drops legendaries 15% faster probably works out stronger than the tiny % increase to legendary finding you get from the 50% MF. So that could be... shoulder/bracer Augh, Pants/Am Blackthorn (good luck rolling a strong ammy though, belt could work here but belt slot works best with Harrington's or Witching Hour tbh) Boot/OH/Chest Zuni in that case. That leaves room for an SoJ in there for ring slot, too.

That's my take!
Why bother with blackthornes at all if you aren't actually going 4 set.
Also, cains is gloves/helm/boots/legs - the only part shared with aughild is helm, which is a no go due to Jerams :P.
And MF works at 10% of the effectivity on legendaries - so essentially cains 3 set means you'll find 5% more legendaries on average (10% in rifts due to the multiplicative nature of the buff if I have understood it correct). I am not sure anything can match that.
depends on build. Everybody is running pet builds especially on hardcore, I got my ring and a 3 piece jade harvest set for the 20 mana regen a sec. This allows me to spam bears. I have a Zuni ring so I just need one more piece of that for the 3 set Zuni bonus. But currently for hc I'm rocking 3 piece jade and 2 piece black throne with the rorg and I can pretty much spam bears on elites until they die. for bosses I use spirit barrage tho

Sure, but point was that if you're just getting the 3 set of blackthornes, you might aswell get some other nifty stuff that's far easier to get and comparatively strong (such as Asheara's).
I thought it was Zuni= chest, ring, offhand // Blackthorn= amulet, belt, bracer // cain = leg, boot // MoJ for helm, T*T gloves, RoRG as the other ring, and full set bonuses - or did i misread one of the item pieces?
I've considered doing asheara's set instead of cains as for that it'd be shoulder, leg, boots. the Demon Skin set would also be doable for the 3pc total bonus. I've also considered not doing cains so i'd have room for the amulet that makes you immune to arcane damage. There are a lot of choices, I'm just looking for opinions.

Afraid no such thing as blackthorne bracers exists, it's amulet, belt, chest, legs, boots.
