    Ideal for any build that regularly taps into magicka and stamina, would be perfect if it gave you whichever resource you had the least of at the moment of proc.

    Decided to randomly run Darkshade one day. Not a pledge run and my friend and I both got it in Divines. I was so shocked. He had been running it for months without a drop.

    Any resource healing is viable especially for magicka builds who still need stamina and of course health. May lose a small bit of viability for stamina builds who have no need of magicka due to it being pure RNG but still works well.

    Show me an ESO player that doesn't like EG :P
    EG is magicka, EG is health, EG is stamina, EG is love, EG is life...EG is always either medium(if you're magicka user) or well-fitted, no middle ground.

    Seriously though, great set for anything involving resource management. Tanking, soloing, even healing/dpsing if you have resource management issues.

    Used to be good, but thanks to cp ressource management is so easy now, that you don't need it (at least I don't need it on any of my characters).

    I don't like the set. Sometimes it safes my life but in most cases it gives me back the wrong ressource. And when I need it to procc, I have no ressource to procc it...

    Not viable for any kind of PvE content. There's way better sets out there. Now for PvP it is a completely different story.

    Any stam build that doesn't use magicka isn't using their build to it's full potential

    I think any roll could use it. However i think this monster set in particular is way better then all the rest.

    The 10% chance on skill use proc's this set way to often. It leave's all other monster set's in the dust.

    I would much rather this set be 10% chance on hit OR let other monster helm's get "on skill use" aswell.

    Eso in pvp at least has become Engine Guardian Online. NERF!

    Probably the best tanking set.

    But I have absolutely zero intention of using it for healing or DPS.

    Not exactly "viable" for any min maxed build due to health recovery being useless and having to depend on a proc chance to get use out of it. Not to mention, that proc chance has a 66% chance to give you the stat you don't need at the time. Much less useful than running a 1 bloodspawn and 1 kena setup.

    That being said, if you don't have anything else, there's always a chance that it could save you in a pinch. RNGesus is a fickle lord.

    For PVE tanking is extremelly viable, key in my permablocking magicka DK. I could work with bloodspawn, but engine is insanelly good. It so easy to chain proc it. I LOVE IT.

    For PVP is good for soloing or dueling. Having an extra resource bar each 10 seconds is very good for some builds.

    Still viable but it took me months to finally get a shoulder to go with my 8 helmets, in that time I've become very good with my resource management and now feel it's a little obsolete.. Good if you're unable to keep resources up, better sets out there if you don't need the resources...

    I love it on my stam Dk for tanking and pvp.

    Which resource it gives doesn't matter too much.

    In pvp health means I can be risky and magica means talons and wings.

    When tanking, stam is awesome, health means I can drop block more and regen stamina, magica can be converted to stam with igneous shield anyway.

    Wouldn't use it on any of my other characters though

    I haven't found a build that this set can't work with. There are better options, in many cases, but this set can be used with almost anything.

    The only thing i have a problem with about this set is that. It never gives back what you need maybe if when you are low on magic it gave you back magic. But instead it give you what you dont it seems like i get more stamina when im magic base. I know it is a 10% chance to give back one resource but when it procs it should at least be able to tell what your out of and proc for that.

    There are far better sets available for every role. It is usable by sure but is never BiS for PvE.
