I came across a player in PVP who said go 1 lvl higher than your set. I said why? He or she said because it gives more of a set boost. Is this true?

More information on the player:
-A lvl 62 bear with orlok set.
-Stats going negative ( about 1000 or so I record from memory).

Sorry, can't give anymore details of him.

Please answer, any statement that suit this topic would be great!

Thanks, Thedexfalcon.
