Indeed. 8-trait set are really not worth researching after 1.3 goes live. They should be better than any 2-6 trait set imho.

Have the bonuses for 8-trait sets under the 1.3x patch been posted anywhere? I only see 2-6 trait sets listed in the first post of this thread.

Those are the Mages and Fighters sets.

The Arena (Craglorn), Fighters Guild and Mages Guild sets have been posted. The Coldharbour sets have not been posted.

Is Coldharbour still closed on the PTS? If so, it is odd that it has not been opened given the changes to the Coldharbour delves that could surely benefit from having some players test them.

I posted the coldharbour ones already... Spectre's Eye is in the middle of the drop set collage I created and is quoted in the OP , while Oblivion's Foe is here from me:

Thank you, @Attorneyatlawl

Too bad they changed willows. 5 set willows and 4 set Oblivion would have made a sick regeneration set.

This is great for the people like me that wear stuff for purpose and not to min and max because my guild told me too. Perfect rofl really to the people putting all their eggs in one basket. I have set pieces out of the arse that will be even more useful. Thanks lol!

I think he's referring to impen trait in pvp.

Less spell crit bonuses + more stamina friendly set bonuses = better overall for the game.

As it stands spell crit is loads easier to stack than weapon crit. There are 3 different sets that have spell crit as a bonus now vs 1 set with weapon crit. With these changes we get 4 sets that give bonuses to weapon crit and 1 that gives a bonus to spell crit. This evens out the playing field considerably when factoring in the spell crit bonus from magelight.

Just a quick comparison if you're stacking weapon crit you could get 37% with the medium armor passive, grabbing 4 pieces of Hunding's rage, and 4 pieces of Night mother's gaze.

If you stack spell crit then you could achieve 34% with the light armor passive, grabbing 3 pieces of Night mother's gaze, and equipping inner light to your bar. Factor in the spell penetration passive from light armor and it evens out pretty well.

Again, you are criminally underestimating the cost of two used bar spaces and 5% magicka reduction.

Max spell crit after these changes, with a huge cost of doing so, will only be 1% higher than max weapon crit, at little to no cost.

That sounds perfect!

Regarding Magelight, I dont have it because of the spell crit, I have it because of the detection radius. Id have radiant magelight instead of inner light, but radiant magelight doesnt work, its buggy and completely broken at times.

Most people min-max because they want to be effective, and it's fun to them, not because someone told them to .

Saying "people who prefer not to raid, lack social skills", is like saying "people who prefer not to hang out in biker bars, lack social skills".

There are some people I just don't enjoy being around. WoW's lewt dude raiders fall into that category.

In PvP ...just 3 pieces of impen at legendary negates 30% crit. Also... stacking spell pen with divines and sharpened smashes other players. It is also arguably better/equal to stacked crit in pve...better for sustaining dps

I've looked and cant find the Stygian set anywhere, anyone know what's happening to that set after the update?

It's in my set bonus picture in the OP.

Anybody know if Vampire's Kiss 5 piece bonus stacks, or is it only one at a time?
"Killing an opponent heals you for 336 over 8 seconds"

ie. you kill 5 guys rapidly, you gain 1680 over 8 seconds.

soupdragon10

Anyone know why there is a glaring hole at 7 traits?
i.e. no 7 trait sets?

olsborg

Theres a ninth trait coming with 1.3 I think, or an update shortly after. Wonder if they add more 9th trait set also. Most likely or why bother with adding another trait.

stewie_801

Has anyone seen a v12 piece of the warlock yet? I've seen the pic on the v1 version. Just wondering what the magicka recovery and max magicka go to on the v12 version. I know the current v1 piece gives 11 recovery for 5 pieces. And with the change it goes up to 16 recovery for 4 pieces. And 61 magicka increase.

p_tsakirisb16_ESO

Has anyone tried on PTS a "classic" stamina build with the new sets, on a Templar with the new set bonuses?

By classic I mean, full set heavy or medium, shield/2h or even DW. Etc.

Anomaly 2

Wait why does The Eyes of Mara set have spell damage on it? Weapon damage is what increases healing. Or is that being fixed? But as it stands... The seducer set will be so much better for healers. It looks as if zenni almost hit the randomize button for which sets get what bonuses. Putting a useless bonus on this set really breaks it. I could only see healers using the set so the spell damage does nothing. To my other healers, what sets are you planning to use. I'm thinking 5 set seducer and going 5 set warlock( 3 jewellery + 2 armour) and then pretty much anything can be taken for the last two pieces to supplement what you think your missing the most. I'd go for prob magicka or magicka recovery. Thoughts?

For a recap of what you get:
Seducer ->
(2)10 Magicka Recovery
(3) 78 Magicka
(4) 10 Magicka Recovery
(5) 8 Percent reduction in magicka cost for spells.
Warlock ( taken from Vr1 Set, can i get a confirmation if the set bonuses are higher at VR 12?) ->
(2)8 Magicka Recover
(3) 61 Max Magicka
(4) 8 Magicka Recover
(5) Magicka Flood, Once per minute if your magicka drops below 33 percent gain 522 magicka.
Leaves two slots open for another set bonus of your choosing.

p_tsakirisb16_ESO

Does anyone knows if the new Soulshine set, 5 part bonus will affect abilities like Puncturing Sweep or Blazing spear? Because at the moment it only affects eg Vampire Bane tick or the Nova.

Also does anyone knows if it comes in VR12 flavour?

Sotha_Sil

Sorry, Can someone confirm this please on pts server with a screenshot ? because I don't see anything in the patch notes about it.

on pts campaign (daggerfall), i noticed a reduced cost for pvp set now.

from 250k/650k at pieces to 33k/38k ap

is this real or only for pts?

Thanks

Braddass

Quick question for you number crunchers ... which would generally work out better ... the 5 piece seducer set (with 8% reduction) or the Warlock (with the 522+ magicka every minute)?

I am debating between 5 Warlock + 3 Willows + 3 Twilight vs.
5 Twilight + 3 Willows + ???

Laggus

As Anomaly 2 has posted a few posts up on the Seducer and Warlock sets, why not wear 5 pieces of both sets? and a 2 piece of something else, Mara Sword and Shield Board for a 2 piece bonus of +10 Magicka recovery for example. Theres a Build from Sypher and AsweetRoll called "Oblivion Battlemage" which recommends this setup.
