Shadow of the Hist=Sorc Armor Tips?

ronin_blades
Hello people, I just restarted playing after some downtime, and I see a new DLC came out, I just finished the dark brotherhood (I enjoyed it) but I looked at some of the new sets they released
Silks of the Sun, Syrabane's Grip, Vestments of the Warlock, Robes of Destruction Mastery, Necropotence, AMBERPLASM!,

Just a quick look at a place that lists them I seen all those could be useable for a Sorc DPS, but anyone have any advise on these, or go with a set from a previous DLC?

My armor is just pulled together drops currently, Im going to go make a set once I get some tips, but my jewelery is 2 rings of willpower and 1 necklace of willpower, all 3 with the + magicika bonus on them

Are those still awesome?

    I haven't really checked out any of the new sets with regards to theory crafting, there are people on the forum who have and I hope they chime in, for my education too. But I ran vMA yesterday for the first time since DB and my old setup (it's not really mine) is still good. It's just 5x julianos, 3x willpower and 3 magnus (4 on DW bar). The only change I made was an infused destro with SD enchant which really helps, and I put hardened ward on my front bar. I don't have undaunted mettle and yet still managed to hit 44.5k magicka (with bound aegis and inner light) and 3333 spell damage on DW bar, buffed but without SD enchant proc. With the enchant proc it's about 3800. With this kind of damage and the extra 30cp mobs just melt.

    Law of Julianos, yeah that was my main choice, but reading the others had me like ... "ohhh this sounds good too..." so many choices so little time.

    If you're just looking to play casually and clear vma then you can make use of a bunch of different setups (willpower still works fine). Elegance is a good set to look into for overload spam, Necropotence is good for going the max magicka pet/s route, but it may be harder/more expensive to get bis pieces of these. In that case, as @FriedEggSandwich mentioned, you'll be able to get through maelstrom just fine with julianos.
    For what it's worth, I personally am going to pass on both the sun set and warlock.

    I'd suggest infused/divines, or just all divines.
