which v16 armor should i make?

gregv · February 2016

ive been running julianos on my magicka nightblade but with the changes coming in thieves guild ive thought about swapping cloak for shadowy disguise, so with shadowy disguise would i still want to use julianos? im also very close to being able to make kagrenac's and i have around 25k tel var stones so i also debated buying the phoenix armor set. if i dont buy that tho id be able to buy a good amount of ancestor silk for v16 armor. im really uncertain on what to run any and all advice is welcomed. i do have the 3 pieces of willpower so jewelry is all set and i was planning on running 2 torugs swords and a resto staff of some sort

PersonallyI would day no You wouldn't really need the spell crit from julianos and the spell damage difference between Julianos and Krag isn't that large.So Personally I would go with Krags and 4 piece Magnus unless you running a monster Set.

unfortunately i dont have much for monster set as of now, i have one piece of a set that adds spell resistance and thats probably the best thing i got

I wouldn't craft new armour right before a patch. There are some nice armour sets comming (alchemist, tavas favour, vicious death) that you might want to consider aswell and at the moment we can't tell wich sets will be good as zos might change stuff around.

Wait do you use Duel wield or Destro staff?Yes I would go 4 Piece Magnus with Krags its pretty good.

lolo i was also debating this if i should just wait, just anxious because i finally hit vet 16

i go duel swords as of now but wasnt sure if a destro staff would be better after thieves guild comes out, resto staff is on the back bar

Personally it's up to you.If you PVP or have a good amount of Gold with Destor staff you can go 5x Kagrenac's Hope (4 Body + Weapons)

3x Arch Mage (3 Body).

Or if you want Magica for 4 body Arch mage and 3 Krag+2 DW weapons.

No I mean the Gold to buy the Arch mage pieces.You will also need the Gold mats to upgrade it .

Thoughts PVP Rewards of the Worthy is its RNG based.

Best you can do right now would be to craft 5 PC Kags and wait on the rest. Craft the Legs/Arms/Waist/Chest/Feet and leave the Head and Shoulders open to play with in hopes of scoring good Monster Sets.

I wouldn't craft anything else until after the patch, and the only reason I would say you could go ahead and do Kags is cause it's that versatile. Any Mag build can wear Kags and benefit.

Once the update drops my target will be 5 PC Kags, 5 PC Vicious Death, 2 PC Torug. (I will change stuff out depending on what I can find, can play with 11 PC sets and use Kena in place of the 2 PC Torug etc..)

sounds like kags is the way to go if i want better armor for the time being until the next dlc thanks for all of the input
