I'm aware Khajiit and Redguards are preferred races here but I'm not too keen on playing a cat and I already have a Redguard StamDK in the works.
I have a few questions.
I'm currently running 5 piece Spriggan, 5 piece HR with divine traits and sharpened. Is this two piece set worth taking to gold? I'm fairly certain Spriggan is worth it, but I'm not sure about HR vs NMG or some other set. I have TBS but I hear that it is pretty much pointless to Gold that set. I like HR for PvP and PvE. I have an impen and divines set for HR and Spriggan so it's pretty easy to switch out. Would HR+Spriggan be a happy middle ground for both endgame PvP and PvE, at least until I can compete for VO sets and MA daggers and the like? Or is there another set that'd be easy to obtain that'd be be worth swapping out Spriggan or HR? Would stacking NMG and Spriggan even be worthwhile in Vet dungeons? I know it isn't ideal for Trials as usually only one person needs to run it to apply the debuff.
As far as monster sets, I have bloodspawn arm cops and a Stormfist mask for extra stam recovery as my monster set luck has been pretty abysmal. Stam management is always a concern to some degree but Bosmer recovery and Siphoning Strikes manages the vast majority of that for me anyways, plus the occasional Stam pot.
My shoulders and helmet are not ideal as Kragh's shoulders won't drop (60 damn keys later) and the helmet drops as light or heavy and prosperous, training or reinforced traits every damn time. Neither will Kena's or Velidreth drop from chests, but I've only pumped about 10 keys into their respective chests. Neither can I really run Vet CoS or Vet WGT apparently as I'm too low at CP 240 to be much help unless I get 3 solid high CP players to carry me and I hear even then it's a major PitA. Personally, I haven't attempted them because either I get the boot in PuGs immediately or no one is willing to give those vets a shot with a CP 240 DPS in zone chat. I don't really blame them either if it's as much of a PitA as they say. So, suffice to say, shoulder and helmet slots are a work in progress. But I'm always interested in other monster sets even if they aren't BiS. Selene's has caught my eye, but again, shoulders won't drop.
Other question. Is it worth throwing Kuta lvl weapon damage glyphs on purple Spriggan jewelry? I see gold jewelry in zone chat and guild stores but I assume that's from someplace I'm not familiar with yet like Vet trials or something from high level Cyrodiil content. My wep damage is currently at 2700 but I have one gold weapon (HR sword) and only two rekuta lvl wep damage glyphs on my jewelry.
Oh and simply because I see almost no one running it but it looks great, is the sword dancer set worth farming for from the Blessed Crucible? My primary source of DPS is Steel Tornado, Rending Slash and Rapid Strikes with a Bow Bar supplying dots and buffs so I'm not sure if a gain to dual wield and a loss to Bow damage would be a net gain or net loss.
