New Medium Armor Sets

Has anyone had a chance to look at the new medium armor sets coming with the DLC? They seem to synergize well with each other. The 5 piece for the Pillar of Nirn set causes 2K initial damage and 8K bleed damage over 10 seconds to all enemies in range, and the 5 piece for the Blooddrinker set increases bleed over time damage by 20%. The 20% increases the bleed from Pillar of Nirn to 9600 damage. Add in dual wield axes and you have the potential to do a lot of bleed damage on a target. With the nerf to sharpened, putting charged on two axes and running these sets may be a decent route to go.

    It's true; bleed builds have a lot of potential next patch. I haven't done any testing but I was thinking about potential builds with blood craze the other day. It might also just mean people run purge more often and it's a moot point, but who knows- we'll have to see how strong/popular it gets.

    My first thought on blooddrinker was with salvation for a Beserker ww build

    Save your axes! Axes might become a new "desired" weapon... instead of just swords.
    Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

    Swords haven't been desired on a medium armor build in several patches, Daggers.

    Pillar of nirn + blood drinker + master's dagger + maelstrom axe...

    Does bleed effect Dungeon and Vet dungeon bosses?

    IDK 20% to one type of damage - bleed - vs say the usual gains from hundings 5pc applied to all attacks - seems not to be a good trade-off. zi mean about 300 before boosts damage on every tick of every effect vs 20% more bleed? Even if every enemy ever encountered bleeds it seems the math is unlikely to catch up.

    I'm curious if the 20% is on application or is removed on Weapon Swap.
