If Oakensoul were made for PvE combat, what would the PvP set look like?

So I was thinking since the nerf for Oakensoul looks like a done a deal, if it was adjusted to be more for PvE (add minor Aegis and slayer), what would a similar set made for the PvPer look like?

Honestly, exactly what the rework has changed it to. It gives all the necessary buffs, a little extra with minor courage, which gives at least a semblance of having a backbar set, and that's about it. I hate to see PVE players potentially nerfed, but where oakensoul is with week 1 patch notes is totally fine for pvp

Honestly the oaken ring is not worth to play with in PvE after the changes…
In PVP it should just not be allowed and that would clear all the mess… The simpliest solution but it will not happen because ….

Maybe mythic items should have different properties depending on if you are doing PvP and PvE.

This. Minor Force (RAT), Minor Berserk (Camou Hunter) and Minor Courage (Magma Incarnate) are all meta options in PvP two bar builds. Not just in groups, but for solo players. Even Minor Heroism can already be had from, albeit expensive, potions.

Adds a set of thumbs to the player. This effect does not stack with existing thumbs.

I had been hearing from others that once its nerfed it would be useless. So its OK for PvP, but I suppose it depends on class and sets.

I think they should start having sets like this, one focused on PvP and PvE focused.

Who says it's useless in PvE? Is it a nerf for solo play? Yes, 100%. A big one (see Deltia's testing). For small group play? Probably. Enough to be beaten by other options, if you want a one bar build? Probably not.

For trials? It seems like a buff or break even to me on the damage front. They just added Major Berserk to the trial dummy, because it's apparently common that's already supplied in a trial group. So is Major Force (War Horn, some sets) and Major Courage (Spell Power Cure, Olorime). By contrast, I think people often supply their own Minor Force (Trap). Well, Minor Courage probably comes from the tank (Yolnakhriin). Minor Berserk I'm not sure about.

Here's a link to PvP player's suggestion for one from back in June.

Probably add Minor Evasion, Minor Vitality, Minor Expedition.
