Which Armor sets have nice visual effects?

startstriker

In particular I’m after ones that can be used for my dps and are red such as the burning spellweave set but I also wanted to know about all the other ones out there.

Slimecraw makes your arms glow red and permanently increases damage done by 8%

I’ll add that to the list

Undaunted infiltrator arms glow like bsw when you use mag ability

Depends on your definition of "nice". You can get orbs of all colors (green, red, blue) from Hircine (stam), Ebon (health), and Worm (magicka). If you ever go into Imperial City- there's a set called "Imperial Physique" which has an awesome purple glow to it.

Red, in particular, is limited to Ebon, Slimecraw, and as you stated- Burning Spellweave. However, you can get the exact same animation of Burning Spellweave from the "Retaliation" passive of the Atronach tree in your CP.

Briarheart and Gryphons give you golden arms (golden thorns and golden feathers respectively) and a pretty sound.

Maw of Lorkhaj weapons and shield have an shadowy flame effect that is indigo blue

starkerealm

Mending and Infallible Aether have a pink, nebulous, glow on their weapons.

All of the Undaunted Weapon Packs have dedicated particle effects which override the weapon's actual effects.

Although for proper trial and dung groups it is wasted slot cause healer is providing that with combat prayer.

Sentinel of RKugamz summons nice dwemer spider that creates field i nwhich stam and health is being recovered. But it is not the kind of set OP wants.

AcadianPaladin

I like the effect of Mighty Chudan monster set. A frequent but subtle aura that looks a bit like electrical to me. Neat but easy on the eyes.

Sheezabeast

I like the visual of the Overwhelming Surge set I know it’s not bis but I love it on my Templar

Karmanorway

Gryphons have a Nice Visual. its for stam builds tho

Oh awesome! And I'm working on getting the set! Have the helmet... Just need that blasted medium shoulder.

Are there any heavy Armor sets with blue special effects around them by chance?

nice visual effects .. well "nice" is subjective.

Personally I am not a fan of glowing neon pokemon looks for my characters .. but we all have different tastes ..

It buffs base damage before other buffs as I understand it. So in practice I find it works at about a 5 1/2% buff to your overall damage. Thats still pretty good if your pugging it and not getting combat prayer but other monster sets which give a simply damage bonus will out damage it if youre doing lower dps.

Thanks for linking that, I sometimes saw people with Hatchling and wondered what the set causing the effect was!

Artorias24

Senche is also cool, the one with the dodge roll giving 12% more crit damage.

Clever Alchemist also nice.

Or seventh Legion, really like it. Goes well with the nee Balorgh Weapon Packs :>

Moonsorrow

Balorgh (the 2p monster set when used ultimate) effect is nice, red glow so much that cannot go unnoticed on a character during the 12 seconds.

Treb_U_Shae

Siroria's got the burning ring of fire around you

Treb_U_Shae

Also, Alkosh (weapons and jewelry) sets give a really neat looking blue glow to my PvE tanks.

Treb_U_Shae

And Undaunted Infiltrator set will make your arms glow like they are a bright orange light.

Green is Sanctuary (healing). Hircine's is yellow and afaik hardly ever used (actually I've never seen it being used, not even in Trials).

gatekeeper13

Roar of Alkosh.

The effect on sword and shield is gorgeous.

Konstant_Tel_Necris

I like how Spell Strategist adds glowing eyes, its reminders me older times when bound armor gives such glow to sorcerer eyes, I like how Embershield fire envelops player character like fiery snake, I wish such visual FX was used for Burning Spellweave proc, Bahraha's Curse have cool rune and also Moondancer set have nice glow around weapons.

But I really dislike how done Vesture of Darloc Brae VFX, it's not fit to stealthy set at all, its glow like festival sparklers, its glow even when you out of sneak in first person, really terrible, I wish it have visuals like Grace of Gloom.

Senchal Defender has an extremely appealing turquoise effect. The Maarselok monster set has a blue flame, like a blue version of DK's Breath. Both go quite nicely with Necromancer skills.

Stonekeeper has some blue to it also. Stonekeeper + Alkosh + Senchal Defender is actually a pretty good tank setup for 4 man content, or Lord Warden instead of Stonekeeper of course.

Ya, no, not really.
