new wep specific armor sets: automaton,sword dancer,spider cult

Mojmir

Anyone tested these for viability?
Automaton,spider cult,sword dancer
Was thinking of running them as secondary with penetration sets.

I tested sword dancer, not impressed.

the problem with these sets is that they only boost specific weapon/skill lines...so if you swap bars and have a different weapon then you lose out on any of the benefit as compared to just raw Weapon (or Spell equivalent) power that applies to anything you have slotted

Thanks for the reply,that's what I realized with sword dancer.automaton might still viable for stamsorc.

Automaton isg ood on a stamina sorcerer.
Rest is not good.

I completed my automaton setup (for storc) yesterday, and so far it has been performing quite well for the few duels I had. While i cant really test it properly atm due to some ping issues I have currently, just the stats alone seem better than my old ravager setup.

Sword dancer is just a worse version of automaton. Since all stamina weapons, except some bow skills, deal physical damage, there is zero reason to use it over automaton. (Especially cause bow doesnt even have its own wep dmg set lol)
