I was looking around for a good Magblade setup for PvE, preferrably easy to obtain(till i get the bis gear)
Julianos vs Mecanical Acuaty as a base set??
War Maiden vs Spinnes vs willpower/kina/iceheart as a secondary set???

    I run 5 Julianos, 2 Skoria, 3 Willpower on my magblade. Can pull 30k with that setup. Curious to what others think about this as well.

    I am running currently on my Magblade 5 Julianos and 5 Moondancer and 1 Kena. For constant upkeep. (as set weapon swapping got on my dam nerves...yes I am lazy) lol

    Before that I was running Julianos and War Madien, it pulled enough dps to complete all vet dungeons successfully.

    But when it comes to builds....yes there is a meta, and yes most people will judge. But find a build that works with your play-style, you might find something that works for you and pulls good damage that is not what everyone else is running. Gear is only apart of it :smile:

    I was going to say, rather than tagging Alcast people could always check his site which is pretty up to date.

    So maybe i can explain a bit why the "MAMA" build is popular these days, especially for Endgame PVE

    The build is based arround the 2 Sets Mechanical Acuity and Master Architekt, both with 5 Pcs, however Acuity is only on the Frontbar on 5pcs.

    Its setup can result in extreme Burst during fights, which is very usefull in vAS HM to nuke the 2 minibosses, when they stand at the mainboss for a short period.

    The Idea is that you keep the Acuity Proc till the bosses are coming together, then you swap to your frontbar and use your Ult to Proc Major Slayer from Master Architect, and since you've Aucity on your frontbar it will proc aswell. Ending in a 100% Kritting Destroult buffed by Major Slayer, and ofc the 2 nearest allies will also recieve the Major Slayer buff.

    And its actually stronger in every dungeon / Trialfight than the comon Julianos Skoria Setups. However in Overland the Minor, and Major slayer dont work. But overland isnt that hard IMO (if you have some CP)

    Keep in Mind that this build prevets you from running a Full Monsterset. so a Strong 1 Pcs monsterset is nice. For example Kena or Domihaus.

    As someone said further up - pick gear that suits your playstyle. What everyone else is wearing might not work for you. Awesome gear wont help you if you don't have a good understanding of your skills, rotation, uptime on your skills etc.

    There are videos on YT of people running vMA without any armor, and nicely surviving and finishing.

    Im asking about sets.

    For vet dungeons Spinner is nice as long as you dont go over 18.2k spell pen. Usually tanks will be running infused crusher and the healer should provide elemental drain. Take this into account when allocating CP and use the Apprentice mundus for spell dmg.

    The best 1pc monster set is probably Domihaus but Kena, Ilambris or Iceheart will also do.

    For end-game gear you could aim for 2pc Zaan, vMA fire/lightning staff and Infallible/Moondancer/Architect gear.

    IMO, if you don't want to change your setup too often and adapt it to every content you enter, the best overall combination, working decently in all scenarios is:
    2x Valkyn Skoria(or as of new, Zaan)
    5x Julianos
    3x Moondancer(or Master Architect) jewelry
    1x Moondancer(or Master Architect) destro front bar (fire, Infused trait, Fire enchant-for maximal dps/Shock enchant for group support)
    1x Maelstrom destro back bar (Fire-for maximal dps/Lightning-for group support, Nirnhoned trait, Weapon Damage enchant)

    5 light, 1 heavy, 1 medium
    All spell damage glyphs on jewelry.

    As long as you have Julianos and a suitable monster set (Skoria/Ilambris ideally, Grothdarr or similar will suffice if you are desperate) you'll be fine for 99% of content.

    Then you can just fill the spare slots with whatever you can get your hands on that gives you a boost to spell damage, critical, or max mag etc; as a placeholder for if/when you get your hands on one of those fancy trial sets and tryhard weapon.

    Thing is, once you're good enough to get that gear, you're already way past the point of actually needing it.
