Syrabane's Set concern

Niebla
Niebla
Sorry in advance for my terrible english.

Finally i desist on Warlock's Set (one ring... about 100k !!!).

Now I am trying to mix one crafted set (seducer/magnus) with a dropped one (Syrabane's), since I am an hybrid DK (S&B tank-dps) and planning to use block a lot.

My concern is ... why people say Syrabane's was nerfed? Is it worse proccing from block than reflect? For me it seems much easier to block all the time than spamming reflective scales...

The issue is that nowadays Syrabane's set is a lot cheaper than other "magicka" sets, and I ask myself why...

Is my gear's choice a good one?

    Bump!

    Please, anyone can tell me if Syrabane's is any good for pvp? I'd be glad to hear something about before I spend my few money in it

    I think the reason people don't use it is because of the trait. Reinforced isn't as good as infused or impenetrable.

    Syrabane sucks nowadays compared to what it once was, the magicka return was divided by two, the traits suck, it's just not worth it vs 5 seducer + 5 warlock.

    If you're a Tank Templar you don't have reflective scales so you block all projectiles. In that case Syrabane is probably the best set you could use and stacking it with Seducer certainly gives you much more magicka than Seducer+Warlock.

    He's talking about a DK ;-) and as far as I know, there is no jewelry for syrabane so you can't have 5 seducers + 5 syrabane, gotta choose between one of the 5 sets: either mana cost reduction or mana recovery.

    Ah sorry, my bad. For a DK that uses Scales they're less useful for sure.

    But as bashev said there are rings of syrabane. Seducer + Syrabane is quite a common set up by good Templar PvPers with tanky builds

    This is kinda sad tbh, when testing AA on PTS, we dropped VR13 warlock items including rings. This means that between PTS and live, ZOS changed the loot tables.

    Why are we testing if they make changes before going to live I wonder...

    For me, Syrabane is an awesome set. Often gives back a lot more Mana than Warlock and 5 pieces of Impenetrable (Seducer) are still enough for PvP.

    Thx to Giny, Sarana, Thaili, Derra, Cherahim, Gloy, Raweelz and Drimacus, you make the game worth playing even with AoE-caps, no usefull progression past Assault / Support Rank 10, and with PvP being not even close to balanced.
