Are you telling me that you have a way to get full legendary bis gear without doing pve or pvp then?! Teach me master!
Before you say "you can just buy all the materials with gold and craft your gear" please explain to me how you can get enough gold without doing pve or pvp? I call hax zos pls ban :^)
You can get bis gear running around naked in orsinium avoiding mobs or have mats saved up from before
I shouldnt have bis gear today because of gameplay done 3 patches ago
BTW money is a non issue for a crafter

all made from crafting
somethign is wrong here.
Everyone can craft gear is what you said, then everyone is crafter, then everyone would have this kind of money.
Funny fact: i doubt many have^^
He's referring to doing writs and selling kutas he gets from the rewards, which is incredibly lucrative. This is what he spends all of his time doing instead of actually testing his claims.
*yawn* everyone stop posting replies to the OP.
Let's discuss set combinations or something. Hijack this guy's thread - he clearly does not know what he is talking about, and is too stubborn to acknowledge any bit of info thrown at him, despite the fact that many of us (see post #258) have given hard data to support our claims.

Agree!
Dual wield build: 1 Molag Kena
4 Sheer Venom
2 morag tong daggers + 2 armor
3 agility jewellery with weapon damage enchantments
It would make insane weapon damage, especially with warrior mundus, but low regen and low crit rate is huge setback!
Serpent mundus and endurance jewellery with 1-2 stam regen enchantments could improve regen, but for critical boost only solution would be weapon crit potions.

Anything besides legendary v16 weapons is a huge dmg loss.

Look at the alternatives:
Sheer venom - lose 1376 crit; lose 39 weapon damage - gain a 1204 dps proc
Briarheart- lose 297 permanent weapon damage - gain proc on 10% of critical hits 152 weapon damage. + heal guaranteed downtime due to cooldown.
Essence Theif - lose 1376 crit, ; lose 168 weapon damage; gain proc off 15% of light attacks to gain 12% damage (sounds like a lot but it isn't due to buff stacking issues)
A set that takes 0 effort to obtain and allows you to set the traits 100% to your liking, beats out sets that take 100s of hours to obtain maybe 1000s due to RNG.
There is no risk vs reward here crafted items should not be best in slot.
But other then that, I agree that some drop sets are not good, but thats also with craftable sets also. Many craft sets are useless too, so instead of screaming for nerf, pls scream for buffs instead. Buff BOTH craft set (the useless one) and drop sets.
Briarheart is its closest competitor but is still a dps loss. You can check out Deltia's guide regarding it.

Most of the time, you actually get more from briarheart, but I know what you mean. But let me give you short example.
Most bosses get bursted down, also every mob pack get bursted down. That means your briarheart proc last as long as the battle.
Another example in a boss fight:
You proc briarheart after 1 sec (Yes I do), then you have 10 second DPS on steroids. Then 5 sec without as much dps, then 10 more dps on steroids! These last 10 seconds also counts at the execute phase of the boss, and will increase the damage even more. So briarheart I would say work as it should, but also have to fit a personal playstyle. But pls dont say its useless, because its not at allI have had it in full legendary vr16 with correct traits for a long time, and speak of experience.

what...isnt that supposed to be the point?, crafted item SHOULD be better than drop/dungeon loot!
if its not, then what is the point of crafting?

I did something similar on my stam sorc awhile back, I think it was just prior to the IC release. It's an interesting build!
What class are you running? I may be able to offer some suggestions for your stamina management. Also, pve or pvp?
Also, I am inclined to agree that vr16 weapons are a must for maximizing damage. Take a look at the difference just between a legendary and epic vr16 - it's quite substantial. In the meantime, you may be able to use something else, or perhaps you can still do whatever content you prefer with the current setup. You're the one to judge that fact, not us.

then what is the point of raiding or pvp? Those take way more coordination and time.

lol, a raid takes 20 minutes or less mostly, SO takes a bit longer, but overall most raid and dungeons takes less than 20 minutes, researching up armor to get 9 traits in them takes a few months at the very least, so I'd say it's balanced. If I do a dungeon I don't even need to think too much about it as it's just so easy to do. If you happen to take 2 months to finish a dungeon then that's on you, not crafting.

You said raiding, raids are things like AA, hel ra and SO, vICP and vWGT are dungeons, not raids and vMSA I didn't really count as it's singleplayer only and very much up to the individual person. Some people take 30-40 minutes for vMSA, maybe even less while others takes hours.

it doesn't give you anything up front, it takes a lot of time to be able to get all items researched and it doesn't take any less effort than to faceroll a dungeon over and over again for sets. Only difference is that with crafting you can do something you like while waiting while facerolling a dungeon you might not like 100 times is just tedious.

How much time do you spend in game concentrating on research? if more than 5 minutes in any given play session then you are doing it very wrong
Upon hitting v16 you can craft BiS gear the minute you hit the level...that's giving you something up front...you do not have to enter a dungeon, you do not have to defend or take a keep...you get it just for leveling up and picking a flower once and a while
