Ancient Dragonguard is an interesting mix of Pariah, Julianos, and Hundings that I could see replacing shackle on a few of my PVP builds. That phys and spell resistance bonus under 50% health is equal to the updated Fortified Brass. And the idea of having higher damage at high health and better damage mitigation at low health is a cool synergy.

I’m definitely swapping out Briarheart for Ancient Dragonguard. It also makes medium armour less reliant on bloodspawn which is great

Since no one is going to play the game after the patch , i guess the sets doesnt matter

khajiitNPC

Everyone will continue to play, at least those who perform at a higher level will. Newbies will still play because they won’t have a “history of the good ol’ days before x nerf”/nostalgia. Non forum goers will still play because most of the changes are “whatever it’s a vidya game things change”. So, yeah let the echo chamber of “this game dead” begin.

Hmm i guess thats why evry Progress Pve Guild on Europe kinda stopped playing - Hodor, Exceed - Lemongroup etc.
Also Symbolic.
Other guilds are looking currently for players (DPS) etc - and they find no one - guess why cause the game isnt in a good state.

themaddaedra

Well we only had Tzogvin and Advanced Yokeda for stacking crits so why not put them in a box, shake it round, throw it into air and cast a fly to decide what our next stamina set will look like.

Somber97866

I see a lot of pvp gear tbh

Somber97866

Im in a chat with guys I've played for years with while on ESO. Guess what game they are not playing? Starting to look like my favorite game is..........I pray I'm wrong

brandonv516

Marauder's Haste...that's the one.

I'm calling it now that it will be very controversial in PvP.

gatekeeper13

Senchal Defender seems pretty interesting for tanks who have resource sustain problems... May prove better than Stonekeeper monster set in that area because, if I understood correctly, the stacks can be consumed when needed and not when they reach a certain number...

ZarkingFrued

I think they nerfed a lot of skills that didn't need to be nerfed

amir412

New Moon Acolyte - Need adjusments, 5% is very weak trade-off for 500 perma wep dmg.

essi2

Daring Corsair might be an interesting beginner tank set, or for tanks with resource issues.

Dragon Guard Elite looks neat.

ccmedaddy

Why do they keep giving medium armor cool crit sets? Meanwhile, magicka dps is still stuck with mother's sorrow lol.

This. Reading about Dragon Guard elite, it looks on paper like a pretty cool DPS set with a novel mechanic. Marauder's Haste? I just can't picture myself using it, ever. I mean, I'm perfectly happy to keep using my current magicka DPS sets. But it's dispiriting to see how ZOS seem to be unable to come up with exciting, interesting new magicka sets. Then again, if they did they probably would never be able to shake off the "nerf sorc" threads.

adree

shame to see trash post when theres a lot of opportunities to take part in discussions that rly important for players

They all SOUND like garbage lol just more recycle bonus stats that they took from other sets and just took some bonus out and added new ones.

Yeah a KNOCK off of what those two sets already provide. Clearly they lack the ability to create sets with their own identity and not a copy and paste of old or semi newer sets lol

luen79rwb17_ESO

I'm diggin' the new moon aco. Just wondering what "active abilities" mean? Even ult cost? Roll dodge? Block? Or just what's slotted on the action bar?

lemonizzle

I'll definitely try moon acolyte with a 'quick in-n-out' nightblade setup, might even be manageable with false god+breton combo on magicka setups.

Mr_Walker

Ancient Dragonguard certainly has some potential!

I do hope we will get a Tzogvin Magicka version some day, that would be nice.

MaleAmazon

New moon acolyte is the perfect set for me unless it is nerfed. Marauder's haste and Daring corsair look good too. In fact, all sets look reasonably interesting, and have neat names to boot.

Here's hoping they don't go the way of Soldier of Anguish.

Rungar

new moon should be ~15% cost increase but other than that they look good.

~15% increase and no one will touch this set with a 100 foot pole.

A skill line has 3 types of abilities. Ultimate ability, active ability, passive ability. So, anything other than an ult that is slotted on a bar is active ability.

IDK about you, but I will be here, alongside millions of others. And before you go, can I have your stuff?

Leviathan always there for grabs.

Hmm

Nothing to see here for mag-sorc folks

Those 4 sets look good. I can see usage for Senchal for Heavy armoured Templars using the Magicka based Jabs with Moon Acolyte and Altmer/Khajiit race. A good combination for Solo build that can tank and do adequate DD also. Probably really good on PVP also. (new Jabs are Direct Damage only)

Ancient Dragonguard in medium looks a great replacement for Hunding Rage. Again good set for Solo builds.

Dragonguard Elite a direct replacement of AY. But against Leviathan does the extra 1.7% crit chance and 129 Sta regen worth the need to do direct damage? Someone could say use Templar Jabs, but the ability has 1s cast time, so cannot crate 5 stack by single Jabs cast. Need to spam Jabs 2 times between 3 LA to make this set fully charge.

Similar argument to Leviathan against AY where 76 crit rating (0.3%) never justified the stacking mechanics, especially after Wrathstone flat bonuses on CP300+. (The Stamina 2 part bonus of Leviathan is very close to 129 weapon damage of AY, and on Sta Sorc Leviathan is better than AY due to % sta increase)
