Stygian

Any chance you could share your plans for returning Stygian to the game and in what form? Do you have an ETA? Still coming in update 11 or later? Thanks!

You mean the Dropped Set that benefited Hybrids?

Not sure if that set ever really worked as I have never been able to fire off a spell and remain stealthed in the game.

Yep. It worked quite well with concealed weapon. It was my go to set before 1.6. Loved the look with the harness too.

If they added weapons and jewelry for the set, then it would have been fine for hybrids* and magicka users.

* Not sure hybrids is really a thing anymore. I think they are sort of like ROUS's.

Look in the PTS Patch notes, probably a couple of patches ago, they list the sets that are supposed to be re-scaled and offered up to CP160

Took a quick look at the PTS natch potes and it appears the set was discontinued as a Hel Ra drop with PTS v2.5.2.

I think that is what the OP is referring to ... since it currently will not be dropping CP160. Unless ZOS makes another change to make it available somewhere else (or reverts the 2.5.2 change).

This set was legendary in 1.5, Magicka Nightblade - 5 Piece Stygian, 2 Torug, 2 Cyrodiil's Light, 3 Warlock. - Clouding Swarm = 20% Damage + 10% Nightblade passive. Yum.
Only because Concealed Weapon, Impale, and Soul Harvest was based off Physical Crit Chance.
Anyways - Dark Cloak -> Soul Harvest was an instant kill in PvP.

I'd still use the 5 Piece (if there's jewelry now) in today's meta because there is a ton of potential.

Name reminds me of AoC. I miss it.

Hehe, yeah I always think of that too...and the line from the movie like the post above.

Seriously though, it would be nice if @Wrobel could give us an hint on when it will come back and in what form. The patch notes said at a later date. Does that mean post Update 11 or is there still a chance?
