Wondering about the Vampire Cloak Set

Grizza709

So, looking at the set bonuses, it seems geared toward a tank. But, why is the 3 set piece bonus spell damage? I feel like there should be better stats to put there, like max resource or healing received, spell resist, etc. What's up with that?

is not a junk set. I use it and is very helpful when you have to mitigate skill from bosses that do huge damage. I would say this a complementary set, but not a main set for pve tanking.

This was one of the best in slot sets for blazing shield templars , as the Shields benefit from minor and major protection and the Spell damage was a nice boost for the templars Healing skills and resto ulti. However Blazing builds have died 2 patches ago , so now my goldened Vampire cloack set is collecting dust now. You can still use this set for some Shieldplar builds in PVE tanking if you want to have fun as a VDSA tank or Vet dungeons and some of the trials in vet.

Nord-DK-Tank-sword/shield on both bars


I tried this set for PvE veteran Hard Mode dungeons (vRoM, vBF, vCoS) and could not make it effective.

I kept running out of resources... and i just did not see a great benefit.... it seemed to under perform compared to other combinations.


Nord take reduce damage

Vampire Cloak armor set take reduce damage

Circle of Protection fighter guild skill take reduce damage

potion take reduce damage

On paper it seemed like a great idea-- to be a super tank- combined with very strong damage shields

Brands of Imperium armor set- group damage shields, Iceheart monster set, barrier ultimate, igneous shields, and bone wall


I swapped around into various secondary sets: Akavari Dragonguard, Brands Imperium, and others...


I would love to hear thoughts on this set for Vet HM trials and DLC dungeons

Could it have a use in PvP?

Staff, jewels and chest piece on a sorc. Paired with a four piece damage set like Martial Knowledge and a monster set. With sorc shields could it be tanky, but also pack a bit of damage?

I've never played a sorc so just throwing ideas around.
