I don't need other people running my secret set
It went unnoticed and I'm happy that few players can see why it may be useful. Running lots of tests with fancy numbers and stuff.... Amber may or may not be something I'll use in my totally typical solo Mag Sorc build.
The one that 1vXes.... and has people crying OP asking for my build.... and soloes vWGT.....
So yeah, I'd rather we allow Amber to stay as it is. Most players don't even know what it does because it's mixed in with the other weak Ruins of Mazzatun sets. Knowing ZOS, it has been a trend for Stamina to be OP and Magicka to get the shaft since Dark Brotherhood released. No need to bring its strengths to the forefront and possibly get it popularized/nerfed. That's all

Well I'm farming it because I can see that it makes for an interesting build, but tbh I probably won't end up using it mainly because it doesn't drop in impen (at least I haven't seen it drop in impen). More and more sorcs are starting to wear impen in pvp, myself included, so that will be a negative for the amber set in those players' minds. I may well try the set out in purple quality to see what it has to offer, but I like my heavy chest and legs too, and I already wear kena and bs on head and shoulders, so switching to amber would be lots of change all at once and it scares me lol.
Edit: I haven't even begun to theorycraft replacing willpower yet. The math hurts my head and it's too costly to just try something else out to compare stats. I suppose I could jump on the pts. It hasn't escaped my notice that people are running 5 julianos with 5 amber though..
Basically.... yeah it's a good set.
A really good set.....
......an absolutely dominant set, though also a little known set because all other loot in Ruins of Mazzatun kinda sucks.
Please let's keep this one under the radar. Literally know one uses it because it sounds unimpressive and it's also hard to gather Divines pieces of it.
***Note: It is only powerful on certain setups. It does not have a place on others. Your class factors in to this as well.

It is tempting run amberplasm to enable invasion, reverb bash, or even dual wield with blade cloak for speed.
AverageJo3Gam3r wrote: »@Swainburg unfortunately, destro/resto light armor mDK isn't in a good spot. At the end of the day, you're just a bad sorc. Sorcs have better shields, better burst, better mobility, mines, overload bar, and an execute. None of which mDK has. You can do an elegance/moltan armaments heavy destro attack from stealth to gank people, but mNBs are better at that.
mDKs are at their best with an in your face play style. Talons, flame lash, banner, burning embers, inhale, and bats all encourage a point blank style. But without shields to mitigate damage or mobility to escape when you overcommit, you drop too quickly in light armor. That's why most mDKs wear heavy armor with dual weild or sword n board.
This is all for solo open world. For group play, though, light armor can work. In fact, the elegance heavy attack build is really fun for that. When you're not being focused and can get the attack off, hitting people for 15k heavy attacks is fun.

It drops impen. Youre just really unlucky.
If you need help theory crafting AND you have an android cell phone, try downloading eso toolkit app. Its really awesome for visualizing sets.

I first read that as "you need help theorycrafting AND you have an android cell phone" and I thought, "how does this guy know so much about me?!" Thanks for the heads-up on impen, will keep trying, I have all the small bits in divines so I just assumed it didn't drop.

You get the cp160 pieces from the normal mode afaik, possible to farm solo. 1st boss drops waist and gloves, 2nd boss drops shoulders I think, 3rd boss drops legs and boots, 4th boss drops chests and weapons, last boss drops jewels.
Edit: slot barrier for the 4th boss, for the poisoned slow walk, and you can't solo the last boss.
