There are two differences from now for magicka DPS gear (Again... just in my humble opinion!...
1. All magicka DPS will now want to wear an undaunted set... Molag Kena / Nerieneth look as though they are going to be too strong not to. On live at mo it's only DoT builds / DK's that go for Valkyn.... everybody else just stacks spell power gear.
2. The lack of jewellery options will lead to most people using the jewellery mini sets... this is leaving just 5 slots of armor, and with the spell damage nerfs to 2/3/4 item set bonuses everybody will flock to the new 5 piece sets which give some kind of damage / spell power buff for the 5 piece bonus.
I can see a few interesting niche sets... maybe for group support and / or PvP.... but general PvE DPS... quite standard I think.
Everybody will be using their current V14 gear for some time though...... the one key truth from imperial city in terms of getting any kind of V16 gear...
THE GRIND IS REAL!!!
Thank you Xiana for the info! Are there images of the dropped sets?
Most sets in that list are droppable, even if it says 'crafted'. Don't ask which of them are craftable
