Stormfist Monster Set Helm

SageSecret

I have the Shoulder for this set. Can I purchase the Helm or do I have to get it via Veteran Drop at Tempest Island.

I found the following online. Helm is "guaranteed" to drop from the final boss. Does that mean it "only" drops in Veteran mode? Will it randomly drop in non-Veteran mode?

The Helm can be acquired from Tempest Island which is part of the base game and located in Malabal Tor. The Helm is guaranteed to drop from the final boss in veteran mode only. The weight and trait are RNG based.

You have to run it on Vet to get the helm, yes. You can't get it from normal. Vet isn't too bad, but the last boss is tough on hard mode.

a lot of folks running in pugs aren't that familiar with the purpose of the scroll...

if you run ahead and attack the boss (before someone goes to the scroll), you can avoid a couple of wipes...

I think that's the boss where you have to stay close to the boss and watch out for those swirling clouds...

Thank you for the quick replies.

I found this link so I'll study up. It will be my first Vet Run.

man, you a good pug mate...if only everyone did a little research prior to doing a little dungeoning...

I've never used stormfist before...are you going to match it up with a bow?

I've mostly used velidreth on my stamblade or kena/kra'gh...may be time for a change...

Stormfist
(1 items) Adds 129 Stamina Recovery 
(2 items) When you deal damage, you have a 10% chance to create a thunderfist to crush the enemy, dealing 1650 Shock Damage every 1 second for 3 seconds to all enemies within 4meters and a final 8000 Physical Damage when the fist closes. This effect can occur once every 8 seconds.

immovable pots work on that one too!

ps4 = iamcrazy helped me with that one.

I so wish this set was a mag set

The reason why so many pug groups wipe on the last boss at Tempest Island is that so many players love to fight from range & on this boss you have to stand in melee range or the boss will charge & one shot you. You have to ALL stand in close & watch for the ground AOE to start.. as soon as it starts.. everyone needs to get out of it... as soon as it passes...everyone needs to get back in melee range before the boss is ready to charge. The wind buffets can make movement difficult so you have to be ready on the break-free / dodge roll.

Last boss is tricky if people attack too far away and get hit by the tornadoes

Just do it on normal vet if you're plugging and your group is bad

Also don't forget to check the golden vendor each week.

Just missed it....Feb 1 had stormfist helm at the golden vendor.

That's what I was going to say. I think she had Stormfist a couple of weeks ago.

Unrelated question, but does stormfist follow the enemy its on?

Nope. It spawns on the enemy’s original location. Very easy to sidestep in PVP, and only useful in PVE, imo.

No, enemies can move out of it. It is a great set though. Both for the damage (the lightning part has to chance to proc minor vulnerability on the enemy) and for the stam recovery on the one piece.

I'm monitoring this thread closely. My bow/bow stamsorc happily uses Slimecraw but also has a set of Stormfist she is considering. She mostly does solo work (non-DLC WBs and some non-DLC normal group dungeons).

Stormfist seems to proc extremely frequently for me. It is great for Stamsorc Implosion passive (which I believe is getting changed.)

JazzyNova

Not going to lie, I tried stormfist on a pet sorc & it actually turned out to be pretty decent... I mean sure it's a stamina based set & all, but it actually looks really cool on magsorcs as well imo.

If you haven't done these preparations already:
- make sure to have the ground aoe indicator on, so you can see where to stand when the final boss does her melee aoe, you need to stand just outside of it - if you go too far from it, she'll one shot you with the gap closer move.
- use 3rd person view and zoom it out as far as you can, so you can see the tiny tornadoes better.

This was my first solo non-death HM run. In my mind, the last boss is the easiest in the dungeon... but only because I was in her face all the time and avoided the one shot gap closer attack. The AOE attack is negligible with good resists (especially shock) and some reasonable HP. Some Resist Shock jewelry goes a long way in this dungeon.

Lul to think that when I was farming this set on my tank both dps were below level 200 cp and healer wasn't even 100 cp ...that was a big lul for me

FierceSam

Very nice Stam PvE set. My stam sorc lived in his for so long I thought that was what he looked like. It’s still a shock when it comes off during crafting.

Good luck with your run.

It always drop for everyone in the party in veteran mode and also you can tarde it at the end between your group.

They don't. Was there just two days ago and rezing my group up was just about impossible on HM even with the pots. The wind just shoves you around regardless.

Immovable brute doesn't work either, there are ton of pve boss moves that don't work with either.

The ranged characters can actually stay at range just slightly out of reach of the red aoe circle, if you take just a couple steps further than that is when she starts doing her charge attack to murder you.

THIS Youtube guy has great vids for every dungeon. Easy to the point. And covers all roles.

Thank you. This is the first I've heard of the Golden Vendor.

Your post is priceless to me.

I noticed that blue circle in the YouTube Vide. OMG, I can't believe all the things I've been missing.

Unless that is the same as the red circle I always see.

Thank you so much for your post.

I'm guessing that is a switch I'll find somewhere in ESO options.

I'll take a look tonight.

It is the same as the red circle. You can change the colour in your Settings, as you surmised. Sorry I can't remember exactly where in the Setttings, and I'm not in game right now to check.

Edit:Got a chance to check. For PC it is: Settings > Gameplay > Combat > Custom Colors > Enemy Color
