I have around 32-34k dps on live. So... It's viable, I guess. Depends what you want to do. I'll test further once the CP are fixed. For stamina it should be better than on magicka, because of the lover stone being nearly the same as TFS full bonus, with a 100% uptime.

Viable is a very specific term ^^
Purely Mathematicly TBS is NOT worth it on any setup atm, since there's always a better option at hand, due to sets beeing stronger then mundusstones, and TBS not providing enough of a plus in their 2-4 pcs bonis

The point of TBS is the flexibility. And with the CP scaling, it might be better than some sets if you take max resources stone? Maybe? Does not being the best make it not viable? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you could still manage to hit 40k+ dps with hit and clear pretty much any content.
I don't think that "not the best" = "not worth it", as I don't do any leaderboard content. But otherwise, yes, it's not the best.

I don't think TBS will come back for PvE unless they buff Thief.

It's atrociously bad for PvP because divines is not a good PvP trait.

I guess this lies in the eyes of the viewer...
Lets assume I can hit 45k with TBS, Relequen and Veli on a 3mio Dummy.
Now I take TBS out, and TFS in
I hit 46k with TFS, Relequen and Veli on the same 3 mio dummy
Would you use TBS, if you have TFS already in your bank?
Prob not, i wouldnt either.

Well. You know, some people just really want to use some sets. Orgnum's scale, Armor Master and TBS were my motivation to research the traits. I idealized them over months. I just want them to be viable you know.
I already use Armor Master in a medium pvp build. And I used TBS with impregnable armor.
It might be back for specifically Khajiit, as they don't need more crit and can use Apprentice+Shadow to boost Crit damage to an all time high. BIS? No. Julianos almost does the same.

For end game DPS I agree with everything said. It is not as good as other options.
I do use it for leveling alts though. You can make white jewelry and training pieces of it, and some other set that has a "flat" 5 piece bonus (seducer, mechanical acuity, etc) and the 5 piece bonuses will not decrease as you level saving time and materials crafting new sets of armor.

Swap out a single piece for a moment - and the second mundus will be lost; slot back in - and you still have one mundus and have to go and retake the other one. It's a pain for someone who's just starting.

Yes the set could be good "enough" for certain builds or players, but the problem with it is, that there's always a "better" option, which does the Job better than the Mundusstone, and the stats form TBS do, so theoreticly it is jus tnot a good set, when compared to others
on its own it sounds decent enough to use it, but since the value of mundusstones are "low" they directly lower the value of TBS.
For a starter the set might be great, also for Leveling it may be very solid (fixed Pen for example, while TFS on CP10 wont grant you 4,3k pen, but Lover will alway sgrant 4,2k then its strong, specially with low CP Penetration etc.)
Endgame wise its overperformed by nearly every other set that provides good stats over the whole set.
and here comes the Ironie...starters definetly cannot craft TBS, since its a 9 Trait set, nor do they have enough money to buy it from traders (prob very few pieces of TBS are sold, if any at all)
IF tehy're lucky they have a friend or guildmembers which will craft it for them.

If it were that close, just 1K DPS...I would certainly consider TBS over TFS. Sure, you are doing 1k less DPS....but say you convince a whole trial group to do the same thing...lose 1k DPS and gain 1200 health. That allows the tank to drop Ebon and use a set like Dragonguard....reducing ult cost by 15%...pair it with bloodspawn and that means significantly more warhorns. It wouldnt even have to be Dragonguard...could be anything that helped increase group DPS...in the end, it would be a net gain for group DPS. Of course, it depends on what the real difference is in the end. The real test would be on the tank trying different damage boosting sets instead of Ebon
Tbs is a mental trick. Its a set were 5th bonus is one mundas stone. You gcan get way more out of most 5th bonuses than u can from one mundus stone.
It qn ok set while your grinding others to replace it.
