With the set bonus change to Black Rose- will it be viable for mDKs?

Savos_Saren · January 2017

I've been running Akaviri Dragonguard and Vicious Death (or BSW- depending on the amount of enemies we're fighting) on my mDK in PVP. Will the changes to Black Rose now make it a decent set for mDKs? Will mDKs finally be able to swap their mundus from Atronach to Apprentice?

Side Note: Don't shame me for wearing heavy armor, punks. I always have worn heavy armor on my DK. Before 1T, I wore heavy Kagrenac for my mDK. Savos Saren is a dragonknight... not a dragonmage, damnit.

It's 967 extra magicka. Do with that what you will. A lot of magicka tanks were using it anyway.

Seeing as now it's ~1,000 stats per resource, ZOS kinda turned it into a hybrid set, so yeah. I don't see why not.

I know 967 less stamina won't make stamtanks go extinct, for sure.

I already use it on my Magicka Dragonknight, and it's freaking awesome. I still need to run Atronach so far, but it's helped immensely with both my Magicka sustain and my survivability through blocking. This will be an awesome chance.

Yeah, but do you see the benefits of 5pc heavy Black Rose outweighing 5pc heavy Kagrenac for an mDK?

I mean- Kag gets Max health, Max Mag, Mag regen, ressurection speed (plus magic bonus afterward), and 222 spell damage.
Black Rose gets Max Health, Max Mag, Max Stam, 40% increase in resources only when getting hit and 154 weapon and spell damage (a mDK doesn't really use weapon damage)
