Many people still use warlock's set at rank 10. Why? Because most set bonuses are totally useless, I don't even understand why they exist. "Pendant of the storm knight" or whatever. Part of the storm knight's set, which gives 1250 SHOCK RESISTANCE! Who wouldn't want that bonus, right? No words can describe how useful it can be! "X of the useless X" - when attacked with hp below 20% - GAIN 5% MAGICKA! This effect can only happen once every 780 minutes because it's too good to be true!
The sets we will be able to craft after researching 8 traits also seem useless. I would expect something 10x better than those bonuses for a research that takes 25 days (+25 for the whole set = 50days), ZoS. Example :
Oblivion's Foe : 3 Items - Adds 13 Magicka Recovery // 5 Items - Recover two soul gems when resurrecting a fallen ally. 60 minute cooldown. Seriously? This is an endgame set bonus?
Eyes of Mara : 3 Items - Adds 80 Spell Resistance. (LOL) // 5 Items - Reduce the Magicka cost of ability by 3% when wielding a Restoration Staff. (Same thing as the seducer's set, but in this case you HAVE to use a resto staff.. WTF)
There are no rank 10 food / pots. With the softcaps taking all the fun away, even 100more hp/mp points would be nice to have. Potions crit effect lasts for like 10sec. Use it, if u have some lag in Cyro or something or swap weapon - we all know how fast weapon swap can (not) be - the effect is over.
Potions are useless @ rank 10. I was thinking that just one quickslot for all those items can be tricky, but now I see that a 400HP potion if you have 3K hp isn't really helpful. Could we please have higher quality potions? Or will this be the first MMO in which potions have no effect at all? 400 hp instant heal and some more over time won't do any good when a rank 10 non elite enemy can hit you for 1.5K damage. I have ~2.7K HP and a NON elite necromancer killed me from 100% hp the other day. 2.850 fire damage on my poor vampire.
In many cases, a crafted glyph for rank 6-8 has exactly the same stats on it as the 8-10 one. Also, enchanters can't craft "Monumental" enchants, splendid is the last one they can craft.
A month after launch, many crafted sets still don't give you the bonus they are supposed to. I don't care much, but for a level 40 player who spent time and maybe 50% of their gold to craft a specific set only to find out that "SURPRISE! IT'S NOT WORKING, FOOL!" , a warning on the tooltip would be nice. Something like "Not working yet" - If you can't just fix it asap.

Brennan✭✭✭I support and/or endorse this idea or product.
I've not gotten to VR10 yet - but I have heard the stories of being the best that you can be and that the best that you can be kind of sucks.
Alchemy post-50 is useless (as are Medicinal Use and Snakeblood).
Provisioning post-50 is useless and if you read this forum the ingredients that drop are pretty much wtf...
I have not looked a lot at the crafted set bonuses but from what I am hearing and reading they are pretty wtf too.
I'd like to see some improvement here. Craglorn looks like fun if there is a reason for crafters to go there.0
