Here are mine:

Death's Wind

(5 items) When you take damage while under 35% Health, you knockback and stun all enemies within 8 meters of you for 4 seconds and gain Major Expedition for 15 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 25 seconds.

Ashen Grip

Song of Lamae

I like the direction they are going, although the numbers would definately need to be tested (particularly those that removed the proc chances).

There is Magus gift that is just worse than Seducers. Just take away the proc and just have it have a Necro level magicka boost

(5 items) You gain 4000 max magicka. perhaps too high, 3000 max mag?

Really like these ideas! I feel like in general crafted sets are supposed to be weaker than dropped sets, but there are too many that are so weak they aren't used at all.

I don't think Morlkuldin or Specter's eye need a buff. Maybe Morkuldin - it is a 9 trait set. To me, the damage seemed low. What you listed here is twice the damage I think the set has currently (did you forget to bold it?).

Death's wind was one of my favorite sets early on. It's a nice into to the power of crating. But - tho I continue to still craft nights silence to this day, I've never returned to that good old 2 trait deaths wind.

Ashen, Song of Lamar, Varens legacy, Shalidors curse ... all these changes you propose and would give me reason to experiment!

@Narvuntien

Oh yeah, this is all speculation unless they actually get tested, unfortunately I can't really do that.

The other set you refer to is Magnus' Gift
Maybe this?
(Edit:Changed from 8% to 6%)
Magnus' Gift

(5 items) When you cast a Magicka ability, you have an 8% chance to negate that ability's cost. Increases Max Magicka by 6%

At 40,000 unbuffed magicka, you'd get 3,200 Max Magicka. Certainly a set for Max Magicka Stacking Players. Though that in itself may be an issue. Necropotence would still be BiS for flat max magicka, though this set would synergize well with it.

@worsttankever

I'm going off of the fextralife page for Morkuldin, was the damage changed in a recent update?

Adding in a proposed change to Oblivion's Foe:

Oblivion's Foe

(5 items) Increases the damage of your Soul Trap abilities by 100%. This bonus is increased to 300% against Daedra.

Honestly I think all the crafted sets should be buffed to be slightly stronger than drop sets since they don't have jewellery options.
