Set to pair with Eternal Hunt

krachall

I'm not a good PVPer but I do like to run around PVP zones with my stealth melee sorta-gank build. I say "sorta" gank because I'm just not good at it. But I do LOVE the thrill of playing in PVP zones even though I die a lot. I'm playing a dunmer nightblade vampire and spend the vast majority of my time stealthed.

I've been experiment with lots of sets and really like Eternal Hunt. But I'm struggling to find a set to pair with it. I've currently got Morag Tong but I don't use a "poison ability" enough to really take advantage of it. As far as I can tell, the only poison ability on my bar is Poison Injection on my back bar. I don't think one skill out of 12 warrants wearing the set.

What other sets would pair well with it? Since Eternal Hunt is all stamina (max stam and stam recovery), I think a damage set would be best but I'm not expert. I thought about something simple like Hundings but I need it jewelry so, for now, it needs to be a dropped set, not crafted.

Suggestions?

EDITED: One more question: I've been focusing on weapon damage as I understand that most players have Impen armor which negates crits. Is that still the case or could a very high crit build still be effective? Whether I go crit or weapon damage will certainly play into which set I pair with EH.

I personally like to combine Eternal Hunt Armor with Heavy Chest, Jewelry and Weapons of Reactive Armor Set (35% less damage when controlled) or Impregnable Armor Set (2,500 Critical Resistance) for their defensive bonuses because I HATE TO DIE IN PVP. However, even with these sets I die a lot too when using my nightblade, which is also my main. I loved my SWTOR Scoundrel and always try to make my nightblade like it but I am starting to give up. I may switch to a Templar and use Extended Ritual, the new Psijic Undo Ultimate and Invisibility Potions as my escape tools. Nightblades are very strong but some of us are just not good with them.

That's me. But I still want to keep trying (and dying).

I'm thinking a very bursty build would be my best bet. it's good for IC farming (the longer I stay out of stealth, the higher chance I have of dying) and I just don't have the skill to survive a sustained fight.

I'm willing to try anything so now I'm leaning towards a crit build (impen be damned) and Viper's Sting.

Next patch I would probably go Spriggan front bar, Master bow back bar, and Selene or Velidreth monster set. Or go drop the monster set altogether and run Asylum 2H front bar, Master bow back bar but that looks a less attractive option than it is now.

Use eternal hunt with vice-canon + your crit cloak. That'll be perfect for you.

Wow...that's a brutal 5-piece bonus. Thanks! I've never paid much attention to the IC sets and they are surprisingly cheap to buy.

Senche's bite is good too. You already have to roll around to proc Hunt, might as well proc extra weapon damage too.

I've tried both 3pc agility 2pc bloodspawn and aslyum greatsword. I like eternal hunt better. All 7 medium.

krachall

Yup! That's on my list to try as well.

Thanks!

Might be interesting to pair with Nocturnal’s Favor, new craftedset from Summerset that heals you when you dodge roll. This would be an idea for further down the road though because you’ll need jewelry crafting for one of the sets.

So is every other proc set. If i had it my way i would have everyone running around in hundings+agility and julianos+willpower in BGs. But since that isn't possible... eternal hunt.

Nice. No doubt it is an effective set and will catch people off guard. I say use what you like or play how you want

vicecannon could be fun to play with, also Archer's mind seems viable for ganking from stealth though I've never tested it.

personally, I pair eternal hunt with spriggans and velidreth. eternal hunt is on the back bar and sprig on the front in order to wear two pieces of veli.

From tomorrow you can use the following: 5 eternal hunt on your body, ophidian of venom jewelry and a 2h, masters bow and monster helm of your preference. Just make sure you have 25k health, by going tri glyphs or triune jewelry.

Is Poisonous Serpent set any good? I have a 2H sword and gold jewels just sitting around.

You can use this:
2 velidreth
5 spriggan
5 innate axiom
Use Dw and 2h.
It's looks like : heavy attack with 2h from stealth or cloak, incap, weapon swap, LA, surprise, killer blade. Most of targets don't get up as after this, but check they don't expect you. And major expedition, vanish pots, etc.

I think Sload's Semblance would be a great pair.
853 oblivion damage over 6 sec. Great for killing pesky heavy armor dragonknights.

But you would have to do with dagger + axe combo to maximize damage. (as heavy attacks are worse in summerset)
