I wont use them as I find DLC dungeons horrible, and thus I will not purchase it, nor play it at all.

New Sets

Hollowfang Thirst (Light)
Magicka Recovery! And critical, max magicka - looks really good .

Dro'Zakar's Claw (medium)
Bleeds will no longer bypass physical resistance - but this sounds good regardless because of the high Weapon Damage you can add with this set.

Renald’s Resolve (heavy)
Healing Tank? Meh.

Grundwulf (Monster Set)
Good sustain set, possibly more interesting for pvp players

Z'en's Redress (light)
Up to +10% incoming damage on mobs can be huge if it stacks with 5% of other sets.

Azureblight Reaper (medium)
Builds an AOE over stacks, but seems pointless as adds may die before you manage to build them up.

Dragon's Defilement (Heavy)
Looks like a really good Tank set with solid 5 bonus and improving group DPS via mob debuff.

Maarselok Set (Monster)
Unique set that deals damage on bash - situational at best?

From a trials/dungeon viewpoint:

Hollowfang's Thirst - It's only for magicka dps and there's not really sustain issues there, but if you want to be altmer and run without sustain food it might be ok. Not really worth wasting a support set for it though.

Dro'Zakar's Claw - Could be really strong.

Renald’s Resolve - No

Grundwulf - I think this is a decent monster set actually. It might not be used that often but it's nice to have the option if you're having drain issues.

Z'en's Redress - Sounds strong. But... DOESN'T WORK. FIX IT.

Azureblight Reaper - Garbage

Dragon's Defilement - Solid set that may have some use

Maarselok - Absolutely terrible idea. If you're using a monster set on a stam char it's BIS though because stupid...

@Evito I haven't played on PTS much, is Z'en's broken?

Hollowfang's Thirst is is an group sustain set if description is correct sounds more like an healer set.

Grundwulf yes decent, more relevant for pvp but benefit of monster sets is that they are easy to swap around so equip this if healer don't give resources.

Maarselok, might be nice for tanks in dungeons?

Hollowfangs is definitely a healer set, it just doesn't seem that great because of how it works - it's situational at best. If it restored stam or magicka based on the higher stat it would be an improvement but the flaws it has are pretty major.

I love ZoS's approach to encouraging good gameplay lol. You dont know how to do light attack weaving? Here is Reloquen so that you HAVE TO learn it in order to do maximum damage. You dont know how to bash weave? Here is a monster set that does about double the damage of Velidreth if you mean how to use it properly.

Yes if was magic or stamina it would be obviously bis, anyway you will crit it fast and its an nice overall set. Its just another set for healers to carry if group needs. Trial healer get 20 more inventory slots yes this one healed nFG1, nMoL is the same but longer, raid leader say we are running singe healer, you cool, yes its winter here at the south pole base so yes Almost leveled up vigor

Maarselok: because necro bash spamming on flags in Cyrodiil wasn’t already broken enough. Gotta rack up those chapter and DLC sales somehow, I guess...

I haven't been in a group on PTS. Does the 2% damage stack from Z'en's come from your abilities, or from your group's abilities?

On it's own, I don't think it's good. My new rotation with PTS as it stands has 2 single target DOTs. Either I spam the DOTs, in which case I'm not letting the DOT play out for the whole duration, or I just have at most the two DOTs applied and a 4% increase on damage.

Kerioko

Interesting combo for stamden:

- Warrior's Fury - When you take Critical Damage, your Weapon Damage is increased by 30 for 6 seconds, stacking up to 25 times.

- Ice Furnace - When you take damage, your Weapon Damage is increased by 30 for 5 seconds, stacking up to 20 times.

- plus Bloodspawn

besides the healer set unfortunately zos already nerfs the sets into complete uselessness before release...gj once more

Renald's Resolve is pretty bad set since ZOS reduced so many Max Health options over time, so there's not too much to heal to start with. Some may say since healing is more competitive now, that it may be a good set, but honestly it doesn't compare to other more formidable sets that give group support or flat resistance to boss blows

Healing Tank? Meh.

I don't think this set is intended to be used in PvE so much, or for a Healer Tank, since the 5 item bonus is to Healing Taken, not Healing Done. Were it Healing Done it might be a consideration for a Healer Tank. As it is I believe it is intended to be used as a defensive set in PvP. Whether it sounds very good for that is debatable, but it is a unique and theoretically useful set.

I like it better than Mighty Glacier, anyhow, although that set would be great if it were a unique resistance buff.

Edit: As another above pointed out, this new Immortal Warrior is probably much stronger as a defensive set in PvP compared to this Renald's Resolve, especially if everybody is going to be running the new Corrosive Onslaught.

Iskiab

Grund monster looks good, the rest meh. Healing taken is such a bad stat, pve and pvp.

Fexelea

So patch is out - who's chasing what given all the changes?

Chilly-McFreeze

I shortly thought about going full *** with skoria, viper and azureblight and dots, dots dots. But I didn't really found a reason to use Azure over e.g. RM, if I would really want to go that way.

Azureblight is awful 🤣😂

I've just seen your parting gift. Now I have to reconsider some things.

dragons defilement looks nice.
i look forward to adding it to my tank’s bag of tricks!

ccfeeling

All are garbages

Nemesis7884

the sets are ok - pre nerf that os - now sub par - the issue os more the tome to reward ratio... dungeons are jist too long...

I mean cloudrest and sunspire are shorter and have better rewards...

lonh dungeons are ok if you do em once pr twice but if you are expected to farm them...

Another instance pf bad game design and zos not understamding their own game...making newer dungeons with sub par rewards longer and longer so people dont want to do them when its already hard enough to find parties....

akray21

I'll pickup Grundwulf and give it a spin. But it's hard for me to drop my defensive monster helms.

notyuu

Azureblight could have been so good...but unfortually they limited it to damage over time effects only..rather than also letting damage over time powers work with it....and that..made is ***.

Frudu

Senches bite is useless now. For pvp you´d be better of with old wep dmg + crit chance to boost healing as well as dmg. Same goes for self-sustain pve. And for pve dodging to buff up is also not viable.
They "buffed" senche´s bite and made it complete useless except for some *** like ganknb maybe. Sure you can use it on other crit forused builds. But you would be better off with old effect with buffed duration.
