the lach set does suck, the damage on the weapon is too low to be good for vengeance, which is based off your wep damage. all the pretty elemental damages on it are nice, but it's still only as good as civerbs flail even at level 35 (req level for ammy, and without the whole set none of these pieces are good by themselves), literally no damage difference.
Gonna guesstimate veng boost to be around 350%-500% at this level.
CiverbsCiverb's wpn dmg @lvl35 = 8-114 = 61 average
350% numbers: 36-513 per element = 274 average
500% numbers: 52-741 per element = 396 average
Hit some high numbers due to the max, but your dmg is choppy and extremely variable due to the low min.
Lach set = 53 average with very low variability
350% numbers: 238
500% numbers 344
Puts the averages close, but is lacking a bit. That's where the +100-200 elemental dmg comes in. This bumps the numbers up significantly.
350% numbers: 338-448
500% numbers 444-544
Combine that with the +skills and the modest -resists and clearly Lach is a nice set. Are there better item combinations? sure. Lach is a perfectly fine one. Quite honestly, if you can't handle norm with the mods that Lach provides, you are going to have a hard time later in the game.
