Is it viable at all for a stam user? Tooltip on my magicka temp says it deals around 8500 damage and drops down to around 7500 on my stam DK. Just wondering if I should run that or just use another crafted set
I like the set as a majicka sorc. I rotate sets based on what exactly I am doing in Cyrodiil however.
Using this monster set is a good way to tag a lot of players in a zerg (for the AP gain) because running Solo I don't have a lot of ranged options that do AoE. Also, when I run this set I feel I have to use with dual swords otherwise I lack the spell damage. My current setup with Nerien'eth allows me something like 3300 Spell Dmg (Buffed with Surge), 39k majicka, and 1200 regen.
I have multiple set of jewelry I swap between again depending on circumstances (Spell Dmg and Cost reduction).
So to answer your question, yes I do think it is viable and yes it works rather well in 1vX scenarios (though rare) and for solo play.
You need to customize your bar though to make the set work for you.
