You can trade it with any group members you grind with. If anyone needs a grinding partner on AD or DC EU then feel free to pm me. I'm on holiday for the next week though.

Don't go into PvP with no impen. You will be demolished
That sounds like an awesome plan. 2k recovery will not be hard to do at all. I'm running 5 julianos 3 transmutation and willpower jewelery and my recovery is 1700ish, so with 5 amberplasm it should not be a problem.
What I would like to do is run 5 julianos and 5 amberplasm and see what/where that puts me at. Its gonna be tough to get the amberplasm jewls from vet mazz but i think it will be worth it.
Yeah that's what I keep coming back to as well. Especially with all the new sets coming into play next month as well. So many choices and so much theory crafting coming up in the coming weeks.
I think im gonna have to play around and test to see if I need engine guardian eith amber, because as much as I love monster sets, I also want to do amberplasm + vicious death for the fun of the explosion.

Yeah I wouldn't. I currently wear 6 impen in pvp. I am a convert

So here's my take- The problem with Impen is that, for a magicka sorc, it does NOTHING for you once you apply a damage shield. Thats 7 wasted traits if you use shields. You are much better off running a gank counter such as defensive rune or radiant magelight and using traits that will actually play to your strengths.

How much impending can you get from using four or five small pieces?
Is that even worth considering?

Each piece of impen grants 250 crit resist iirc, maybe slightly more, it's not affected by large or small pieces; just a flat value. With 6 pieces I have over exactly 1548 crit resist with no cp in resistant.

Vicious death is great for defending keeps. Just use it with cold fire ballistas / oil. Or my other use is to proc power enchant and Kena and then drop curse, wrath and meteor on the group. You're fairly likely to kill someone if it's a bunch of pugs pushing in.

That's about 14% overall damage reduction from critical hits assuming an average critical damage value of 170%, which is lowered by 23,5% with your crit resistance.
Most sorcs forget that whenever the incoming damage is higher than their shield strength, the overflow damage can crit.
Thus impen is beneficial even for shield stacking sorcs, if they ever have to drop their shield while in Cyrodiil. It's only useless if you never ever get hit for more than your shield strength when CE buffed.
It's somehow the same with people putting all points in Bastion and forgetting about ele defender, hardy and thick skinned, which lowers the incoming damage before shields are even touched.
Often the same people that cry about how bad the state of their sorcs is though.

The class isn't quite unplayable, but it certainly needs some serious quality of life improvements. Many are equally tired of the 'git gud' crowd (usually other classes) telling everyone how they're playing sorc wrong.
If the streak cost increases weren't so severe, it wouldn't be nearly as bad an issue. A stam player would have to work harder for their 'macro-slice' than hitting their gap closer once or twice, and then animation cancelling a handful of attacks while flying through the air...
And you have to admit, a 14% damage reduction from a 12-15K crit probably isn't going to save you. Keep the shields up high.
