PSA: Vicious Serpent Alternative
Asata
✭✭✭
If you're really wanting the 5 piece Vicious Serpent for the stamina sustain, there is an alternative. A very cheap alternative: Vengeance Leech
Rather than just stamina, these are tri-stat restoring and only require 3 pieces. There's no cooldown on the proc. They also drop from PvP boxes, so they're very cheap.
Here's a screenshot from some random grinding:
Just figured I'd share, since they're virtually unheard of.

Fabulosity✭✭✭I loved using this set on my hybrid nightblade. The only downside to the set is that you have to get the killing blow to trigger the 3 piece bonus, whereas serpent also triggers from kills in your group or something like that.0 -

CasNation✭✭✭✭✭You can also use consuming trap for sustain in trash pulls. Similar mechanic, but is percent based so it scales with your stats. Also, the enemy just has to die. You don't have to kill them. Takes up a slot though.PC NA AD

✭✭✭✭✭BTW, VO does not need the actual killing blow, as weird as it is, it procs from the kill XP, meaning as long you deal 10% of the damage, it will proc. On the other hand, this requires the killing blow.0 -

Actually the resource return only works if an enemy dies AND you have empty soul gems lool0 -

False. You don't need empty soul gems.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I thought most people on use VO for the 3 piece and the 5 is just a nice bonus.
A lot of stam use it for sustain and the nice part of the 5pc is it still offer more than just stam return with a kill that also provides XP, the cost reduction and added weapon damage makes it all around a decent set. 8% cost reduction is sweet.0 -

I mean the last time I tried it, which was like December 2015, I didn't receive any resource return unless I had an empty soul gem with me.0 -

No, you absolutely do not need soul gems. That's silly. I use the set myself and I can 100% deny that. You do however have to land the final blow - that is true.how exactly do you get this set? ive been searching for it in the guild store and still havent found anything
I found plenty the other day in Rawl'kha and Elden Root. I didn't have to check much anywhere else because there were so many.
I will note however that the set items aren't always called Vengeance Leech. That is the set name and also can be the name of the items but they also come in different names like Covenant's Beads, Dominion's Beads, Pact's Beads, and so on. If you have Awesome Guild Store addon you can just sort by jewelry and add the text filter as "leech" and it'll still find them.

yea i know about the necklaces however i want the ring and i cant find that0 -
Asata✭✭✭Also, which box do you get this set's jewelry from?
I'm told that you can get it from the Unidentified Defensive Medium Armor crate from the Elite Gear Vendors, but I cannot confirm nor deny that. Though, I'd assume that would be blue rather than purple.
What I do know is that you can buy the Vengeance Leech set (purple) directly from the vendor in Bruma rather than playing the lotto. Your faction will need to have control over the town, of course. It's the one at the top of the map, so it's closest to Pact & Covenant bases. Covenant has it currently at the time of writing this on Trueflame.

✭Vengeance leech is really nice paired with VO btw.
The blue boxes only dropped axes but I think the purple boxes drop any one handed weapon and neck.
Which makes it good for magica builds DW bar leech neck leech rings willpower resto or destro staff willpower0
