mag-reg vs. Stonekeeper

Grila

Hiyas,

when I saw the new sets, I thought stonekeeper sounds really cool, especially for Bosses, where you have to permablock like the axes from AA.
But yesterday I reworked my chokethorn/shadowrend-monsterset and am now wondering, if a magicka-regeneration of 1400 wouldn't be better than stonekeeper, as you have to block 6 times before you get your ressources back.

What do you think? Is stonekeeper a viable set?

Chokethorn+Shadowrend don't give you 1400 regen by themselves, only about 300. That would be 3k regen in the same time frame as Stonekeeper would restore 5k magicka, but also 5k health and 5k stamina. And considering that the proc condition is a pretty easy one for most fights, it's definitely worth it. If you're dealing with mechanics where you need magicka regen and there is nothing to block (say blue flame phase of the atro in vWGT), you can still swap it out. But on average Stonekeeper is so much better than Chokethorn+Shadowrend, it's a no-brainer.

There is a reason argonians were BiS for tanking. This set is literally much much stronger that their passives. Only reason to not wear it is if you prefer Lord warden for resists (if u don't reach cap, or for group support)

Thanks for the replies

So I will definitly get my claws on that stonekeeper-set
