Those sets... just lol. Hopefully there is no way for some of them to reach live server in their current form... I mean they will actually have to buff Gaze of Sithis to make it comparable lol

As someone who always plays one-bar!! That ring seems quite good, and is a very interesting way to have one-bar compete with barswappers.Though it still won't make up for all the buffs/debuffs/damage players use on a second bar, atleast one-bar can now compete.

This is the first mythic that I will actually go after!

Edit: I'm not going to look at anything else from High Isle, I like to be surprised.

Well, RIP all the golden trainee chests.

9 Druid’s Braid + Oakensoul + 2 piece monster or weapon set is going to be interesting.

Arunei

Will the Oakensoul ring work while in WW form? Getting that boost when stuck with only one bar anyway would actually be a really nice buff.

That 12 piece set looks sick. 6k resources. Drop the 12th piece for Death Dealer. Pretty much a perfect max stat setup for a mag sorc in pvp.

LannStone

ZOS is giving some strong incentives to buy that new expansion!

Was thinking about that too. My guess is that this set simply disables bar swap key. WW transformation automatically "switches" skill bar to WW skills, and back to your normal bar when WW timer is over. So it is not like a regular bar swap key. WW does not "swap bar" - It replaces skills on your active weapon bar. So there is a solid chance it will work. I was thinking if it will work in no cp / no proc Cyro. If so, then It may be an interesting set.

But I am gonna be honest: I will be very surprised if this wont be nerfed on PTS. If it reaches live server in its current set, then it will be the most stat-dense set in the entire game. It even beats Gaze of Sithis.

While having only one bar may hugely discourage some players from using it, for me personally it is not a big of a deal. With proper skill set on one bar, you may get away with just one bar. Also, a side note - In case of WW, you will be missing ultimate ability entirely, as you wont be able to use the ulti from the other bar.

These new sets and mythics look very strong. Obviously to sell this update, too obvious.

and then nerfed in few weeks after release:))

BlossomDead

And none of those could have been with Major Defile or something better against healing. Buffing up the already super tanky and sustain meta (PvP wise at least)

Heartrage

[snip] those sets are wacky. I don’t think they are balanced with these numbers but the wackyness makes them seem much funnier to play with than most sets we got before. If they can balance them, this could probably be the best sets dump of any chapter imo.

Ganker's will hate that Serpants Coil mythic.

TX12001rwb17_ESO

I imagine many of these sets will be nerfed before reaching live.

Arunei

Hmmmmmm...does anyone else but me think it's weird that none of the furniture has an icon (aside from the crafting stations anyway)? Or does none of it have any assigned even though you'd think with High Isle being on the PTS next week those assets would be done already?

"Mora's Whispers
Mythic (1 item) Gain up to 1528 Critical Chance and 10% increased Inspiration, Alliance Rank, Alliance skill, and monster kill experience based off how many books of Shalidor's Library have been collected. Current Bonus: 0 Critical Chance 0% Inspiration, Alliance Rank, Alliance skill, and monster kill experience."

What a weird set. How many books? All 297? That would be an absolutely bonkers grind. I don't even have all those books on my main (well, I'm missing one, but if that single one would mean a difference in stats... that would be pretty weird). I'm hoping the full criterion is something manageable like 10 books for full stats, then it could prove useful on low level alts, were it that the item scales to character level.

Tommy_The_Gun

My initial thoughts about Druid's Braid vs Armor of the Trainee is that one of those sets should be changed. Mainly magicka & stamina bonus should be swapped to keep those sets to be both relevant.

Because both of those sets are kinda indirectly favouring magicka builds - simply because max magicka bonus is 2nd and max stamina bonus is 3rd. So magicka builds will be able to use 2pcs of both sets and get just health & magicka completely bypassing the stamina bonus that they don't need. Stamina builds cannot do so.

So it kinda makes sense for one of those sets to have stamina bonus as 2nd.

This is from the preview server and furniture had no icons assigned to them yet. Once we have access to the normal test server icons should show up and we will take images of the items.

Interesting idea, it actually should, that would be crazy lmao. Will test it on the test server once we have access

Commandment

I'm not into the companions. Can we get some decent looking ones? Can we at least change the hair with wigs? ZOS really picks the most weirdest styles for there characters.

Arunei

@Alcast
Gotcha, I thought it might just be that they hadn't been assigned yet. And yeah, if that ring will work for WW form that might be the first Mythic I actually bother to collect.

ESO_Nightingale

Wow, i was not expecting a solid light armour frost damage proc trial set to ever exist. But I'm pleasantly surprised by whorl.
