    One shot mageblade existed earlier too, when Proxi was viable in solotarget.

    The necro build isn't really a 'one shot' type of build.

    It's more for a very big dampen and high burst potential and high damage.

    Mag nb using shadow image can get 50k+ magicka for having just shadow image active and it takes 1 slot on bars. Hype train reached not only this set. People are hyped also on The Sun set and on Red Mountain (this hype slowly going down)

    Still seems like garbage to me. Necromancer set is much better. It could use some love though. Like replacing stam recovery with max magicka and removing the cooldown.

    I think they'll do this in update 12 when each PvE zone will have 3 sets droppable only in that zone. They'll bring all sets that now cant be dropped on cp 160 and change details in this sets so I assume necromancer will be there.

    "I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    What the heck is the point of this post. Pet builds are still poop. You slot one ability on sorc/nb that summons a pet just to get that 5 piece. It's the 5 piece everyone wants not pet builds.

    Wait... What...? It's the 5 piece people want, but not pet builds... Yet a pet build (of some kind or another) is required to achieve the 5 piece bonus... Um... Alright. Lol.

    Adroitness set seems alright too.

    So with the SotH launch, a lot of the old sets were scaled to CP160/VR16 finally. Meaning sets like: Silks of the Sun, Necropotence, etc. all finally got their well-deserves increase in level/rank. But, why is it that people are scrambling all over for Necropotence? Lol. I don't get it. I overheard a conversation with 2 of my buddies, and heard that he bought an arcane ring of Necropotence for 500k. And everyone in my group said that was a steal, as they're selling for 750k and higher.

    Do people not realize that Necropotence is a set that is primarily built for pet builds, although it can be used for 4pcs. for max magicka? Lol. I'm hearing conversations all over of how Necropotence is the new meta for magicka builds, and how it replaces: Julianos, Scathing Mage, TBS, etc. And as a person who's mained pet builds for a long time — this disturbs me.

    I was ridiculed for using pet builds for as long as I can remember, and when people saw videos and streams of me doing content like Vet Maelstrom with it — I was mocked heavily. I was laughed at, and told it was impossible. And how I was getting my clears through luck. When in fact, pet builds have always been quite strong and heavily underestimated. Every since Day 1. But now, Necropotence is all the rage? What? Why? ._.

    soooo you were right and now other people agree. thats what u just said. how can you possible be confused.+ you have to factor in that sets come in all slots which is HUGE; being able to run your must have set and still run necropetence is not the same as a bunch of light armor, so people would naturally be more open to it considering there is less sacrifice combining sets these days.

    Than 2 shot and that will only kill squishy.

    Whats the difference between that and the 16k incap, 16k meteor, 16k leaps? Or the fossilize meteor combo?

    No. A pet build is running the pets like you do for some reason. Slotting a skill point to achieve a 5 piece bonus wouldn't be a pet build. Going to call a mnb with a shade a pet build? A pet build is some moron running around with clannefer matriarch and the imp. My mnb build would be the same setup except one skill. It's just like using a buff. That's it.

    Like I said and others have stated your post doesn't make sense. You are claiming to be right all along although the set which would make your build halfway viable was released just a few days ago. If you're running something before it's good that doesn't make you the chosen one.

    Also I wouldn't say require 1 active pet for the bonus is really a pet build, its basically a statstick.

    With the addition of jewelry and the v16 it makes Necropotence finally able to combine with other sets.

    The biggest reason not to run it before (other than bad traits, v12 etc) was you could not use TBS, juliannos (at the time the two best dps sets for a mag sorc)

    Now if it has weapons and jewelry we can see a lot more use, it is a stat stic. Which is perfect, having one stat stick set or combination and having one effect set was usually the way to go.

    I just wish my current versions would be upgraded automatically....
