V16 StamNB Gear

Sunburnt_Penguin

I hit V16 not long ago and now have enough cash and materials for 3 legendary pieces so I'm looking to upgrade from my current V14 5 Hunding's and 3-4 NMGaze.

However, with the TG coming out soon and dropped sets (current and new), I'm concerned about wasting cash and materials on pieces that will/could be swapped in the near the future. I'm a bit lost so I'm after your help please.

What gear should I be aiming for?
1. Still HR and NMG,
2. HR & NMG with something else like a monster helm and/or dropped shoulders, or
3. Something completely different

How should I go about creating my gear?
1. Create each V16 legendary piece by piece and slot them in as and when [if this and option 2 of the previous question are correct, what priority should I be creating them to avoid wasting cash and materials?]
2. Create all V16 pieces and improve and glyph them as and when, or
3. Wait until I can have full legendary V16 gear before equipping any.

Any other advice is appreciated, thanks.

WOAH slow down are you insane?!? Don't waste gold mats on v14 gear.

@EsoRecon

Currently have purple V14 gear.. Wanting advice for V16 gear.

@Sunburnt_Penguin

Do you do mainly pve or pvp or maybe a little bit of both?

Sunburnt_Penguin

A bit of both but I'd prefer a weighting towards PvP whilst also being viable in PvE

Then I would go with 5 hundings, 1 kena, 1 bloodspawn, 3 agility or if its too expensive do endurance and go wep dmg enchants on all pieces. That is a great setup for dmg and sustain, its what I have been running for about a month now for pve and pvp.

If that's the case go the 3 piece Agility,5 Hounding 4 Night mother until you get monster sets.This will give you good crit and weapons damage.

You can also try 5 hounding 4 morkuldan not as much crit but same weapon damage and stam recovery.

Once you get monster set try for Blood spawn and molag kena shoulders.With TG am planning on running 3 agility 5 hounding Blood spawn head and Molag kena shoulders with 2 piece of Leki.

Thanks @EsoRecon

A few more questions if you don't mind:
1. Are you looking to switch any out when either TG comes and/or you get drops from that?
2. I only have one V16 character so any idea of the rough drop rate for Molag and Bloodspawn and is it worth holding out on crafting a V16 helm and shoulders?
3. I currently have 3 healthy agility.. Is it worth putting weapon damage enchants on these or should I wait until I can buy robust ones?

I'm just not sure what I should be pririotising really.

Get a robust agility neck they are cheap around 20k on xbox. I would put wep dmg enchantments on them. Just do the undaunted pledges everyday and you will eventually get the kena shoulders, and try to find a team for vet spindleclutch. No I am not going to switch my gear around when TG comes out. Though I would do what @Jaronking said above. Obviously don't craft v16 gear till you get the shoulder and helm. You can craft the v16 hundings though.

1. 5hr+3-4nmg are cheap and still good with agility bijuteria
2. 5hr+5briarheart+maelstorm weapons - will be better

Those setups are only good in pve though...

In PVP most people run Impenetrable or in the current meta magical so have access to a shield. So having a high crit isn't really useful right now.

I still use HR and NMG for my v16 gear but I want to change a couple of pieces for PvP.

I will still be using 5xHR but swap NMG for Ravager. Ravager will most likely be 2 pcs armor and jewelry. Ravager only scale to V14 so in this case it's ok to upgrade to gold.I want Engine Guardian helmet and shoulder as well.

Ravager armor is only heavy so you might loose some sustain if you're using medium.

Sorry didn't mean to necro this one - for some reason it showed up on top of my list here.

NM nothing to see here

For me shield breaker is a must have. When i open up on a magicka build and i get them to 10% health then they pop healing ward or any other shield for that matter...its nice to put them down.

You could go hunding rage and be like every other stamina build in game though.
