What is your favorite set in game?

r34lian · February 2019

Galenwe for its looks

AbysmalGhul · February 2019

I rock Julianos. It has a little bit of everything I need, but not too much. It's a great base set to compIiment other sets. I've used it so long, I would feel naked without it

ShackleBreaker first and BSW second

tunepunk · February 2019

One of my favorites is "Storm Master", not because it's very useful. But because the sound it makes when you hit someone with it. Especially on a bow or DW char.

Wish it would trigger more reliably and not require a full heavy attack crit.

I'm using it on some alt char from time to time just for the sound it makes, and it's a good source of concussion for stamina users, especially with a charged weapon. You reapply concussion every other hit. But as I said, way too unreliable to trigger it to be useful.

meridia’s blessed armor for the trolling in duels and pvp and all the QQ afterwards.

i dont respond to the hatemail at first.
after a few messages i take the trolling up a notch and finally respond:

“the meridia set also caused your messages to *miss* , what were you going to say?”

Bloodspawn.

Non cheese, offensive and defensive at the same time and best looking Monster set out there.

Thanks to style pages i can use the look even when i dont have it slottet

Bright-Throat Boast.
For me it works a way better than Necropotence, it gives a great bonuses to both damage and sustain. Somehow I wasn't able to get balance between sustain and damage with other sets, and Bright-Throat made it so I have really great sustain and I can enchant all jewelry for spell damage increase.

As a magDK pvp:er, I absolutely love the shacklebreaker set. Gives lots of raw resources, as well as the much needed small extra stam regen on top of the regular mag regen for a magdk.

personman_145 · February 2019

I've been using the vamp lord set for vamp sorceror. I was shocked when I actually managed to run out of magic once because it almost never happens.

Adzer2 · February 2019

Spell Power Cure, still a very decent set and the sound it makes when someone gets the buff is class

Odovacar · February 2019

Burning Spell Weave WITH an Inferno Stave

VonSwaego · February 2019

Combat physician with prayer shawl, maelstrom resto staves. Barrier ultimate. My Templar has been running this since One Tamriel hit. I love all the bubbles, and it’s a great setup for farming hate mail.

You are only person I ever heard use prayer shawl successfully. How does your concept work? Are you using barriar to proc shawl with it's healing? Is the proc okay in small groups? How about big ones?

I’ve been told a lot that prayer shawl is broken, but it proc’s a lot for me. My healer is a crit build for better up time in maelstrom staves and combat physician. Group size doesn’t seem to matter for the proc’s, with the resto staff sheild in there besides it’s not uncommon for people to have 2 or three damage shields at once. Bastion in cp makes them bigger. I use barrier ultimate when I need to heavy attack some magic back or I see a big group one hit coming. Other than that it’s just the standard Templar spells, shards, ritual... etc.

Browiseth · February 2019

I'm very much looking forward to the new Deadly Strike next patch. My Stam sorc is a living DoT, so it should just make his already fun build better.

I use this on my tank/healer warden for vet dungeons when playing friends, is awesome!

ffyre · February 2019

I am very partial to Valkyn Skoria, even on my stam builds.

As far as gear, though, while I don't use it at all anymore, unfathomable darkness is always fun. Used to love going into PvP with it on just to see birds chase other players down.

I play 'no sound' cause 2 kids and cannot hear anything anyway..... But SPC one of if not my favorite set! Love it! Most(not all) of my setups are SPC + another set ;-)

Welkynar · February 2019

Siroria + Spell strategist + Zaan

redspecter23 · February 2019

Bahraha's Curse is probably my favorite underrated set. It's not min/max but the amount of survivability it adds to tanks is incredible. I keep a heavy set on each tank as a swap in for content where something like Alkosh would not really be necessary and I have a light set I use on mag toons when I'm just running around doing simple things and don't want to think about having to ever heal myself. I find it useful for Skyreach grinding and other content with a large amount of trash mobs. Combo'ed with Iceheart, it can make you fairly tough to crack.

Tan9oSuccka · February 2019

Fortified Brass.

Moonsorrow · February 2019

Shacklebreaker is what i seem to use most often on almost all of my characters at pvp as the basic set so i guess that. Crafting Shackle for new characters also with Training traits, nice while leveling too.

ScruffyWhiskers · February 2019

Stygian was such a great set when it first started dropping in Craglorn. They never did it justice when they tried to make it work after the great magicka and stamina sundering.

Honorable mention to spinners and Caluurion. Two great sets that go great together.

Joosef_Kivikilpi · February 2019

1. Embershield using a lightning staff for the fire shield that swirls around self.
2. Iceheart for the incredible icy shield around self. That set's aesthetics is what made me say screw it to any magic dps meta and make Frost mages into dps., that in combination with Winterborn.
3. Thunderbug and Storm Knight effects are dope.
4. Infernal Guardian for fire mortars.
5. Pretty much all the elemental sets that give awesome views. Illambris as one also.

VDoom1 · February 2019

Akaviri Dragonguard.

El_Borracho · February 2019

Selene's. Love when that bear comes out and mauls someone

Oreyn_Bearclaw · February 2019

PVE:
-Magic: It actually might be Siroria, and not solely because it's meta. Meta DPS sets have come and gone over the years, but I really like the mechanic of Siroria because it rewards good positioning as well as a good rotation.
-Stamina: Vicious Ophidian. It's not as good as it used to be, but for an all around stamina setup, its pretty hard to beat.

PVP: Probably VD, and I am not even a bomber. I just like watching Sneaky blow up pugs. Haha

BaylorCorvette · February 2019

Clever Alch, because I hate RNG damage buffs in PvP, plus the extra health is nice (for PvP).

Rygonix · February 2019

I absolutely love Jorvuld's Guidance set when healing in pve. Fun fact - it makes tri-pot effects last well over a minute. But the simple amount of breathing space the set offers is just outstanding. I also like the Asylum's resto staff too, though I'd much prefer the master resto staff if I could get my hands on it..

ZeroXFF · February 2019

Akaviri Dragonguard. Best tank set in the game so far.

Hunt Leader. Secretly the best NB tank set.

It wasn't released yet, but for tank builds that have high resistances from skills/passives (i.e. Nords of any class starting next week and Templars of any race), Stonekeeper is probably the best tank monster set yet.

I think you get the trend... Basically my favorite set is any set that has set bonuses helpful to tanking, helps resource management, and can be used effectively in the vast majority of fights and with any group composition and quality.
