Which are the top legendary sets for each class?

Question

In Diablo II each class had its class-specific gold set: the Immortal King for the Barbarian, Trang-Oul's Avatar for the Necromancer, and so on.

Is there something similar in Diablo III? If so, are the informations for all the sets already available?

Answer 1

Each class has two level 60 sets limited to them - one occupying the primary and secondary hands, and the other occupying 5 item slots (or 6 for the Barbarian's Immortal King set). Below is the list of them all. Notice that the larger sets only require 4 items (or 5 for the Immortal King) to get the full set bonuses.

Answer 2

Not sure if there is a user made compendium already but you could certainly just check the blizzard item data base. If you pick a certain armor type, lets say head you can then select for what quality you want to look for and then go for set.
