Is Galenwe set worth wearing?

Frozen_Heart246

Hey guys, what do u think about Galenwe set? On paper +40% from light attacks seems really decent, specially if dd's are mages. Mostly was using it in veteran dungeons.But.. on my practice i didnt feel any difference in damage that dd's did (using permanent block build). And there no proc animation no even a buff or something..
So anyone tested it? Is it worth to wear? I guess alkosh still be better for any cases or u have other opinion?

Best usage of Galenwe in my opinion is when you´ve a lot of werewolfs in your group and have the opportunity to stay close to them. Since a huge majority of their damage comes from light attacks it can be a good set, but very situational.

I use it. I like it.

Galenwe is one of those "good on paper but very niche in practice" sets.

Useless in bad groups - newbies don't light attack weave and then they do they miss half of them.
Useless when you can't reliably stand close to the group - 15 meter is not that big and unlike something like PA you have to be withthin that range all the time.
Useless if you do not have to block much - meaning most non-DLC dungeons and even in most of DLCs people only block heavies these days.

There are some place where it can be really good, like AA mage if you are good enough to tank axes in the middle but that's such a niche use.

And still in AA HM you might want to prefer Ebon because that 1k+ health it gives can save people's lives
