What Are Your Top Seven 5 piece Sets?

Waffennacht · September 2016

I was sitting here reading and thinking. I'm always looking for new ideas, unused sets, or even reasons why BiS is BiS.

So I came up with a question for myself that I really couldn't answer. I need your help!

What are the top 7, five piece sets to you?

Can be for a specific class or role, can be a list for each, I would just like to hear your opinions and why

Please remember we are excluding monster sets and the 3 piece sets.

ClockworkArc · September 2016

I started making a list and if I'm honest I only have 5 favourite sets.

Heavy

Imperium - Keeps my team and my sorc pets alive! Trying to figure iut the perfect set to pair this with...currently using Storm Knight's Plate but I wanna try out Thunderbug in 1T.
Black Rose - Perfect for Blazing Shield stam build - My first ever tank build used this.

Light

Amberplasm - Sorc 1vX love - I'm seriously considering switching my sorc's race to Argonian because infinite stam + shields is fun.

Medium

Eternal Hunt - Stam 1vX love - Perfect set for IC exploring.

Crafted

Pelinal's! - Theorycrafting *** - Haven't figured out the ideal class/weight combo for this...Currently pairing it with 3 piece agility, 1 kena, 1 veli' 2 leki's. It is fun trying stuff out.

Isellskooma · September 2016

5 Hundings rage
5 Blackrose (But just to troll and hold block all day)
5 Vicious Death
5 Marksman
5 Kagarancs hope

Kram8ion · September 2016

Hundings
Marksman
Nights silence
Sentry
Infiltrator
These I know aren't the best sets but had the most fun with them

Kram8ion · September 2016

And still wearing them

Xvorg · September 2016

NMG: in a wpn crit based build is great (combined with MSA daggers)
Blackrose: the heavy armor strikes back
Silks of the Sun: Very specific but the only reason why there are MDKs in Cyro
Marksman
Fassalla's
Leki's
Vicious Death (yup, FG sets where great...)

Oreyn_Bearclaw · September 2016

Vicious Ophidian - Stam PVE
Infallible Aether - Magic PVE (AOE IS NUTS)
NightMothers Gaze - Stam PVE Debuff
Twice Born Star - Main DPS set PVE, magic and Stam
Clever Alchemist - All the Burst you need for PVP
Alkosh - PVE debuff set
Spell Power Cure - Meta for Healers in PVE.

Clearly, I lean towards PVE. Other than a tank set (dont tank), and the alchemist set (PVP only), this is pretty much everything you need to clear VMOL.

psychotic13 · September 2016

Hmmm, in no paticular order;

Kagrenacs Hope
(find this to be the core of a lot of my PvP builds)

Alchemist
(Sometimes you just want that burst)

Fasallas Guille
(This is a great heavy set, the health debuff coupled with major defile cripples your opponents)

Morag Tong
(Can be a good set if you like to play as an archer)

Tavas
(The set you want if you're running a ult gen tank)

I am looking forward to trying out some of the new sets though, such as Rattlecage, Draugr Hulk,Trainee and bone pirate

geonsocal · September 2016

Affliction - from the very first time I received a single piece as a pvp reward I couldn't wait to use the whole set - 50% probability to proc is awesome...

Willows Path - all my non-vets wear this set, will probably keep it on my mDK vamp when he turns vet

Hunding's Rage - great craftable set to give you a little extra kick

Black Rose - there's a good reason why everyone hates it

Julianos - great craftable set for giving you a little extra kick

VD - i love sharing this little treat with enemy players

Phoenix Set - work's a good bit of the time and always feels like i just got over when it procs (of course, it doesn't really help if you're in the process of getting zerged down), otherwise though - it's a lifesaver

Stannum · September 2016

Hunding/Julianos
Nmg
Spc
Briarheart/scathing mage

Ps: hope it's not statistic for nerf

Savos_Saren · September 2016

I'll give you my 7 favorite 5pc sets in the combos I wear (sorry for the monster set addition- but it's there to show the synergy):

5 Black Rose, 5 Akaviri Dragonguard, 2 Bloodspawn on my Dunmer DK.

5 Kagrenac, 5 Worm Cult, 2 Malubeth on my Argonian NB.

I'm really looking forward to some of the new sets, too. I'd love to test Knight's Errant for some of my tanks. I really want to try 5 Knight's Errant, 5 Akaviri Dragonguard (or Leeching), 1 Master's Sword, and 1 Troll King on an Argonian DK tank!!!
