Quick Question about : Tava's Favor set

GreenSoup2HoT · May 2016

I have a couple questions i'd like to get answered before i think about making this set.

1: Does this set proc go away if you do not have 5 pieces on you when you switch bars? Say i wanted to use this set on my front bar and something else on my back bar. Will the proc from Tava's remain if i swap bars since it has a 3 second duration?

2: Overall impressions of the set? Was it worth it?

Picture of the set below:

My magDK loves it in pvp, combined with shuffle and bloodspawn ultimates come really fast.

I'm thinking about using it for my Stamina Nightblade with Double Take. If used in conjunction with Summon Image, i was thinking i could be in and out of fights generating ultimate before i really make a big impact with say Devouring Swarm. It's just some quick theory crafting for now since i'm trying to experiment with new builds.

Does the set have an active effect on your player?

I run it on my nb tank. 5pc Tava's, 5pc Footman, 2pc Blood Spawn. Proc it with Mirage, stack that with Shadow Barrier from Refreshing Path / Dark Shades and you'll be dropping Aggressive Horns like they're going out of style while being extremely tanky.

As for the first part, I'm not sure. I have the 5pc on both bars. But I imagine it would persist through the weapon swap.

I tried using Tava's on my Tank for more of a group support oriented build Tank. I dislike it. I sacrifice too much of my own survivability. Using this set, I was relying too much on the healer to keep me alive while using my old set, not as much.

I dont know exactly, but other Sets work if you swap.
Alchemist and armor Master buffs stay if you swap to a bar where you dont have 5p

Once the sets proc it works on both bars, just like the other sets.

Once it procs the buff will stay on you for 3 seconds regardless of what weapon bar you're on. Obviously it won't proc until you switch to a weapon bar where you have the 5 set bonus.
I use it on my stamina DK tank with an "Ultimate" build (Bloodspawn, Tava) and it contributes a good amount of ultimate. In a typical dungeon trash situation you can expect around a 50% or more uptime of Tava which helps me build around 400 ultimate/minute.
