    In the spirit of "saved you a click" he's pushing

    - buffer of the swift
    - heatland conqueror
    - spriggans/spinners
    - wretched vitality
    - clever alchemist
    + hon mention to pariah and dc.

    Really not sure I needed to watch a video for that but hey, my load screens seem to be way too slow this am and I need coffee before I do anything. ....

    I agree-ish but add: plaguebreak, Ironblood, magma, markyn, trickery

    NerfAS and Shill ruins everything

    Skinny-meta-fake, graded D, and can’t explain the law of diminishing marginal returns.

    Yeah that was my thought, he'd missed a few I see mentionned alot. hadn't realise plaguebreak was still a thing though. I thought balls had just stopped purging.

    It’s still stat dense + proc so a really good bar set.

    I see plaguebreak even in BGs. It is one of those "dot all enemy team" set, along with unleashed, brp destro, merciless charge etc. And it explodes on death.

    Yeah, I just realized the other day from someone else's post that with Plaugebreak, death counts as removing it early. Apparently, it is the new and improved Vicious Death, better yet, have both on the guy and watch the fireworks when he dies.

    I read somewhere that VD/Plague on death proc should scale with bloodthirsty, since damage comes from target that has zero heath. Is that true?

    This could prove useful if true.

    VD and plague explosion do work with bloodthirsty, but not based on the target that exploded

    bloodthirsty is a calculation on each targets HP

    the explode on those does not dmg the target that died which caused those effects so it wouldnt affect it, but the dmg that is hitting the players in the radius DOES get scaled (based on each individual targets hp to calculate the dmg)

    a similar thing works with the kvatch gladiator set (which btw due to hybridization now works on mag or stam builds, im guessing sorcs just needed an extra 1400 dmg bonus when target is in execute range lol)

    Thanks.
    That's less fun than explosion scaling with victim's health, bloodthirsty kvatch sorc is exactly what I had in mind :)

    Top 5 sets depends upon build, solo or group and if grouped up group size, etc...

    And big depends on CP vs. no-CP. Most talks I see are about CP these days so I assume most everyone plays there. Just not me.

    To be fair, a lot of what was mentioned work both in cp cyro and no cp no proc cyro: heartland, swift, pariah, spinners and spriggans.

    Oops I do usually include this but it completely slipped my mind here! It looks like someone already covered this though. Sorry about that! I try to avoid coming across as a standard click bait copypasta post usually. MB.

    Even CP or no CP best is not a term to state where there are so many builds available because of the vast number of gear sets and how we can allocate our CP for the CP based campaign.

    In the no CP campaign I find skill matters more than gear sets or CP.
