For pve, any nightblade specific sets?

OWLTHEMAD

Role doesnt matter,

But with each class, there are sets that perform uniquely well on them and dont perform so well on others.

Dks still have bsw and elfbane. Nord with bloodspawn as i understand it are particularly important on tanks (i know nord isnt a set)

Sorcs used to have netch and necropotence though they are obsolete now

Templars now have deadly strikes which is borderline meta for them,

My question is do nightblades have anything like that? Any sets outside the bahseis/kinras meta that can still bring top level performance but only do so on nightblades?

I know warmaidens is a thing but as i understand it is only about equal to julianos in raw damage numbers.

Arkasis seems like a fun replica of the catalyst passive. Though technically works well enough on all classes.

Just curious if we have any really stand out sets

We used to have master architect but now its just meh. (That falling into disuse made me sad. Was my favorite set)

Vicious death used to be lol its s bit more universal now.

Not sure how rattle cage is nb specific

Mothers sorrow medusa is almost literally strong on EVERYONE

Not familiar with stygian or archers mind

Il have to look those up

mocap

Rattlecage for easy Major Sorcery
Sorrow/Medusa since magNB is heavy crit based
Stygian or Archers Mind mostly for RP or some gank PvP, cuz... "Role doesnt matter"

You already mentioned one set for each class and that's really all, so NB's do not vary from others much and have War Maiden.

Magblades benefit more from War Maiden than pretty much anybody else. It's not meta or anything like that though.

Stamblades, similarly, get more out of Swamp Raider and The Morag Tong than most others.

The change to MA based on ult cost and then consumption made it a better set than it was, just less specific to classes with low cost ultimate. It's actually pretty common in high end 4 man groups on the healer /support dd. It's in disuse in trials other than vAS (AFAIK) because you will get better uptime on more of the group with RO, and RO can be on one healer rather than requiring 2dds to be wearing a support set.

Kinra > deadly strikes.


Unless you mean deadly+ kinra on dungeons, thats pretty cool

Stam sorce ,warden and dragon knight with rapid strikes can also use deadly, but not sure how well

Um, did you forget that Magplars also tend to highly benefit from WM due to almost all their class skills being 'magic' other than Reflective Light?!?

I said "pretty much" for a reason. Also, all magblade damage skills are magic damage, while magplars have one fire damage skill.

all > all but one
