Best two crafted armor sets for NB magicka siphon tank?

Blackjak-33

Hi, as stated above I'm a NB siphon tank with my attributes currently 31 magicka/ 20 health. I was originally going to run with 5 pieces hist bark, 4 pieces whitestrake, but with hist bark dodge not stacking with Mirage is there a more productive combo or should I stick with this and just remove Mirage from my skill bar and utilize another skill? Thanks in advance.

Twilight Embrace gives you 10% extra healing each time you are healed, Willows path increase your in-combat regen

Does the Twilight's Embrace 10% extra healing work with self heals like swallow soul and sap essence? If so that's very interesting. The Whitestrake huge damage shield under 30% health sounds like a nice "oh crap" proc if you are low on health and low on resources...

Yup

Healing receive can be from a skill or even from an alchemy pot

Nice, thanks man.

if you can stand the effect the sanctuary set gives(that annoying 'chime-tone hum noise) u can use that (rings+amulet+2 light pieces) + 5 pieces of the twilight set for 22% healing(and 12% to others near you)

Eventually i had to ditch the sanc set because that sound effect was just a bloody headache and I could not find a (legit) way to disable the sound.

Right now I use 5peice twilight + 5 piece magicka furnace(would prefer warlock but some tool bought all the rings and reposted them for 30k coin each, 30k is a 'slight' high price for VR 1/2 gear lol)

That leaves 2 more pieces for a 2piece bonus for either red mountain(weapon dmg) or hundings(spelling, - + weapon crit dmg)

I use funnel health(would use swallow except i think the healing others near my is more important than 8% more healing), degeneration (mostly for the health chance on hit) sap essence(Again, best spell in game i think) and siphoning strikes(both bars) for nearly unlimited stamina/magicka. Use swords on both bars(i know i should use bow....) and blinding strikes on bar 1 , blood craze on bar 2. I have only had a few situations where the incoming damage is more than I can manage, and those are usually situations u would(or should) have a group with you anyways.

For my magicka nb funnel spam build i used 5 piece Magnus and 3 piece Torug Pact. Cryodiil Light ring set. It worked ok enough. Lol

I run 4 Alessia's Bulwark (the Armor is REALLY important), 5 Seducer, and 3 Healer Jewelry pieces each with Reduced Mag cost Enchants.
With around 1500 (with Drink) Mag Regen in 7/7 Heavy, 17.5k Mag, and Sap Essence being only 2k, You can just keep spamming Sap Essence until Siphoning Attacks activates, and you never really run out of any resources, as long as you keep your Armor buffed up.
Granted, to get the numbers I have takes quite a bit of investment, but even at my level there is still room for improvement with those numbers.
So, these are my 2 Septims.

Stannum

I use magnus(5) and eyes of Mara (4) as go with 1h&sh + warlock's bijouterie

Anyone know if Twilight's Embrace 10% extra healing received stacks with Swallow Soul's 8% extra healing received for an 18% bonus?

"Healing received" buffs are indeed additive.
