Do set bonuses work if I'm not holding the weapon

[samaynard]

For example if I have the viking set bonus for +20% final damage, does that mean all the weapons i use while that set bonus is active get +20% final damage?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think not.

Note that the chime and the card for the set re-appear (become 'active', I guess) each time you switch to the weapon that is part of the set. Also, normal bonus only applies to 'active'/'current' gear (eg, swap out a weapon with +5 max health and your health drops).

You can watch stats change by swapping with the 'c-menu' open; didn't notice if that includes set bonus, probably does.
