Hi Everybody,

So i need to grind for Undaunted Infiltrator set. How much of this dungeon can be skipped (NB Cloak / Just run through and die to reset mobs/bosses), in order to just get to final boss for the Weapon / Jewelry drop?

    You need to kill the Wamasu or the door won't open, you need to kill the boss with the little pet snake thing to turn the lever ( lever won't work until the boss is killed)

    The rest can be skipped.

    Given you get the set pieces off of boss kills... you're probably not going to want to skip any of those.

    I would also look up the loot tables of each boss, every boss has a unique item and sometimes they're rings or necklaces or a guaranteed certain trait item

    lamia with the snake drops precise swords, look for chests as well, those sharp swords are pain in the ass to get, I did like 40 runs so far and not a single sharpened undaunted infil weapon

    All in I don't see the worth of this set. 1k tick that can't crit isn't worth anything. A crit with twice born star and shadow mundus will do more damage than these sets.

    It is actually pretty good for a heavy attack lightning staff mag sorc. Infiltrator jewelry + dw sweetsong on the back bar, with molten armaments, maelstrom lightning staff on the front bar.

    Edit
    Which, with the direction of morrowind might be even more viable.

    So Sorc w/Molten Armaments? You have a pocket DK or figured out how to class hybrid?

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    But that set only gives the tick at the end now. TBS will give a boost to everytick of at least 1200 with the final one getting a tick far larger than 1100.

    You should not be so quick to Judge. Infiltrator can be higher DPS than Viper... Quite easily in fact.

    This guy gets it :)

    I am actually going for a 5 Infiltrator, 5 Beekeeper/Green Pact, 2 Troll King, VMSA Lightning staff, for no CP PvP. All health regen and power. No sustain needed.

    So for end game content, regardless of how much heavy attacking is required for sustain. People just don't understand that they are not, the majority of your damage. Wearing a set with bad set bonuses up until the 5th with a 5 pc bonus that only affects something that holds a portion of your dmg is ridiculous.

    It's actually a huge increase in base damage for heavy attack builds.

    The problem is, unless the info I was reading was wrong (which meshes with my recollection), it's a hybrid set. That already starts pigeonholing it.

    To be honest, the snide judgement had more to do with it being a medium armor set with a magicka focus, combined with the weapon crit up.

    I have no doubt this set appears to do more damage on paper, I'm just not convinced it's actually more effective than even something like Julianos.

    Weapons and Jewelry. It's backbar so the 4 piece would never be used, as 4+5 is only on backbar. But i do understand that initial reaction to the set.

    Everyone's getting hyped over that set, but when you really look at it, it's not going to be BiS and there will be other alternatives that are equally as good.

    No doubt about that. Dont even care about the PvE part. I just want to see what i can do with it in PvP. On paper, i can get a Heavy Lightning Destro, on par with Soul Assault.

    Yeah, I was kinda afraid you'd say, "jewelry and DW." I'm honestly not sure that's better. Unless the Jewelry drops in Arcane, (which it might, I don't remember if that's a locked set, or if the jewelry traits are rolled).

    The worst part is, I could honestly say, no, those are some really cool sets if, you mixed Undaunted Infiltrator and Unweaver around, until they actually synergized properly. IE, if Unweaver had the magicka traits (keeping it's spell crit), and Infiltrator had the stamina traits, (keeping it's weapon crit).

    I'm not sure if these sets were screwed up accidentally, or if they're really supposed to be used together to create a hybrid build.

    The set adds about 4-5k dps to your heavy attacks with a lightning staff on a proc without cooldown. It wrecks in duels (got duelist title in two days, it just destroys stamina builds), the stamina you get is very useful for both PvE and PvP and I've cleared Hardmode Trials with the Build posted above. You can do 38k dps on single target that is full AoE. 44k raidbuffed single-target dps that is full AoE isn't too shabby, is it?

    It works exactly the same as the vMA lightning staff. 1100 Base damage multiplied by 4 cp stars (ele expert, thaum, staff expert and Elfborn).

    Yeah you lose magicka, and have a wasted weapon critical bonus in it too. But which set gives you 4-5k dps on the five piece only?

    Elegance is weaker than it in CP Content. Hell I hit for 28-29k per critical tick in trials... The two Sweetsong Swords are actually pretty awesome. Sharpened would be better, but who has the time to grind that...

    Port in, run around/between the initial mob group (can be done without stealth). Run through tunnel, suicide at first boss (or aoe everything there, up to you).
    Kill 1st boss - unique UI necklace drop (Chain of the Snake Charmer)
    Run to Wamasu boss, kill him to open door.
    Run to boss with snake pet - unique precise sword (Sweetsong). You'll need 2 of those till/if you get sharpened ones. Pull lever after you kill her.
    Run to last boss, pray for rings/sharpened swords.
    ...
    ...
    Gold out your 2 Sweetsongs because you won't get sharp swords.

    Mate, you can throw links at me all you like, I can guarantee I've seen them. Actually if you look at my signature, I released a very high dmg heavy attack build for Update 12. Masel's builds are fine, but they are by no means BiS for what is achievable. Just because it has vMA or vMol, approved.

    with the rework of CP's, by putting points into Master at Arms then this might do even more damage than it does currently (not tested...just theorising)

    Btw, you can actually skip the Lamia with snake pet boss, I did it on accident once :tongue: Instead of jumping down when you enter the area with the bridge I somehow jumped up and over and landed on the next section of the dungeons. Actually not sure if it can be done but thought it was worth mentioning if you wanted to try and find it to decrease your time in there. :tongue:
