I have been giving this set a lot of run lately, and I gotta say its hella fun to use, but like all things, there are good and bad things about it...
The Good:
1) It's effortless to proc for Magicka builds as literally every single Magicka ability you cast will proc it...
2) This sets proc (the sound effect and visuals of it) is awesome; one of the most gratifying procs in the game IMHO...
3) When random probability is working in your favor, the set is amazing; it's incredibly satisfying to see 'dodge, dodge, dodge' appear on your screen when you are not actively dodging...
Passively dodging Incap is 'fist pumpingly' gratifying.
4) Excellent synergy with Elusive Mist...
Earlier today I was running from 3 attackers in the tower at Ales Lumber and the Wild Running/Accelerating Drain/Elusive Mist/Spectre's Eye synergy was incredible (passively dodging while in 42% movement bonus Mist Form...priceless).
I kited them for several minutes with ease until I was able to stealth out and escape...
Was a lot of fun...
The Bad:
1) The 2, 3, and 4 piece set bonus's are decent for a Magicka build, but definitely not ideal (Physical Resist, Max Magicka, Max Health)...
2) When random probability is not on your side (and this is the case more often than not) this sets 5th piece bonus does absolutely nothing for you (or at the least, very little for you)...
I was 1vx a Dragon Knight and a Sorc earlier today, and I didn't passively dodge a single thing over the course of a 3 to 4 minute fight...
Normally it's not that bad when it comes to passively dodging, but it can be pretty lackluster at times...
3) The duration of this sets proc is short (only 3 seconds with a 6 sec cool down ), and so it's simply not up when you need it to be sometimes...
All in all Major Evasion will be in effect roughly 50% of the time during battle, and since literally every single ability cast will proc it, sometimes you simply can't time things to proc Major Evasion when you need it the most...
4) This is not the sets fault, but there is still a lot of undodgable attacks in this game, and so Spectre's Eyes 5th piece bonus is useless against certain class's/builds in direct combat (like Magicka Templar like myself ironically)...
Conclusion:
The set is a ton of fun, but it's not consistently good enough 1v1 or 1vx for my tastes...
It excells when fleeing with Elusive Mist however as people tend to chase you using dodgable attacks primarily and Major Evasion will be in effect a good deal of the time when kiting opponents...
But, enough of my rambling...
What are you guys experience using this set at current? What are your thoughts on it?
