Just hit 160 on my Mageblade Please tell me what gear I need crafted

I am not a theory type person, I just play casual PvE and want a good set for that. I know people spend hours debating over gear and which pieces to use. I have a ton of materials I have collected along my journey. I've picked and mined very node I've come across and never sold any of my resources. I'm pretty sure I have enough mats to have something crafted, I just don't know what to get.
Someone in zone told me to get Julianos or Twice Born Star for PvE and I'd be fine. I was also told to use Willpower jewelry, but is all that correct? What kind of weapons do I need to get and what divines do I need to use? My build is based on destro staff and I switch between dual wield on back bar and sometimes a resto staff.
Please advise me as I don't wanna give it too much thought, I just wanna have something crafted this weekend and move on with the game.

✭Well i'd suggest
5x Julianos
3x Willpower Jewelery (preferable Arcane)
Now there is a difference depending on what I am going up.
for more survivability I'd use ...
2x Malubeth
2x Swords of Torugs Pact (Bar #1)
1x Maelstrom Restoration Staff (Bar #2)
If u want more damage use...
2x Nerien'eth or 2x Molag Kena
2x Swords of Torugs Pact
1x Maelstrom Restoration Staff0 -

✭✭No crafted. You need. Scathing mage+nerenith+infallible Aether+vma inferno and 2 sharpened torugs swords.
You don't need a resto. I'm at level 3 on my resto skill bar and completed all content, 540k score on vma, all vet trials with no issues, easily make 25k ap an hour in pvp without healing all killing.
Go pure offense, running around spamming healing ward is going to do nothing but slightly postpone your death. Destro and swords is the way to go.PC Master Race

✭So you are counting down super-high end stuff no one probably ever has unless he has farmed for it for eternities?
He's just reached CP160 so i am counting down stuff thats more easily to access for him and that has good viability.
There is always the little more that can be gotten if you farm trial sets but thats none of my concern here.3 -

This,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but if you havn't got scathing (and it's a long grind) julianous will serve you well no need for resto abilities. Up to you if you use nerieth , but I personally run 5 Scathing ,I kenna, and 2--3 turogs depending if it's staff or sword bar.Edited by Mush55 on September 17, 2016 11:01AM0 -

For a fresh 160 that plays casually.... those items are non-existant.1 -

No they aren't. These sets existed for me last September when I just turned v16. Scathing is a pig to farm but now it's easier with tradable bop items. Find some friends and farm away, you'll get a mediocre set in 3 runs.
Nerenith takes at most 4 runs for all 4 team mates to get a helm and 20 mins a run if not doing pledge. Just bomb him down before any ghosts appear.
Infallible just grind normal trials that any half social guild is running and message WTB infallible.
Vma staff... well kind of yes.PC Master Race

For pve you could go necropetence set with willpower rings or jewelry of the ancients. Along with dual wield Magnus swords on main bar with resto on back bar with helm and shoulders. Or if you prefer monster helms Malubeth or engine guardian for insane heals or extra regen or nerianeth for more dps.
If you really want a crafted set, I'd go Krags hope over julianos. Provides more sustain, more survivability, and faster resurrection only at the cost of 77 less spell power and slightly less crit. That's a good trade off. Twice born is the standard for many who do trials because they can stack crits and precise. However, there is an ongoing debate about whether sharpened is greater than precise.
I like going infused on major and divine on minor. But if you choose twice born it would be divine on everything.Edited by LegacyDM on September 18, 2016 8:06PMLegacy of Kain

Stoopid_Nwah✭✭✭✭Lol at people suggesting high-end trials gear. OP you'll be fine with willpower jewelry, five julianos/tbs, a monster set or torugs body pieces with a torugs sharpened destro/resto when solo. For group stuff, sharpened inferno destro/destro or sharpened destro/dw swords.
Sets that give max magicka and spell damage are what you're looking for (Julianos, torugs, vicious death). Tbs is great but run all divines with the thief and shadow. For the other gear either all divines or big infused small divines will do just fine

Dude just hit cp 160 and you are telling him to get a full set of scathing, infallible acc. and vmsa fire destro staff.....
He asked for a good starting point right now via craft, not what an end game 531 set up looks like.1 -
Deathgiggle✭✭✭I had Twice Born Star made along with 2 pieces of Torug's for the head and shoulders. With the TBS set I like being able to have 2 mundus stones. Haven't made a weapon yet, I have a Willpower staff right now and I get the bonus from that and my Willpower rings and Necklace.1

✭Personally I'd aim for 5 julianos/TBS all divines, 3x willpower jewelry, Nerien'eth helm and shoulder when possible. 2x torugs pact swords bar 1 1 destro staff/restro staff.
Until you obtain Nerien'eth you can roll with helm and shoulders torugs with swords and staves torugs as well.0
