I know most people recommend a monster set with a 3 pc trial set, but I'm unlikely to get a maelstrom or master weapon at any point. So I want to go a 5 pc set along side Scathing Mage. My first instinct was either Mother's Sorrow or Spinners. Is there any other sets I'm missing (that isn't BSW because farming the weapon would be absolutely tedious)
Scathing + Julianos
Edit: To elaborate...
Sorrow is an underwhelming and poor choice in general.
Spinner is an underwhelming and poor choice in general because magicka users have a lot of penetration from armor passives and Spinner will just lead to a lot of overpenetration.
A crafted set means you'll have perfect traits on your weapons and that you can maintain 5/1/1.

My problem with that is I can't get Julianos jewelry and I want to gold Scathing after I get it. At the very least, Mother's Sorrow could perform well if I use the shadow mundus. But yeah, not being able to go 5-1-1 is a bit disappointing, but I don't have a good master/maelstrom staff. 6-1, with one heavy pauldron should work for now but...

That's a terrible reason. I guarantee you will not be able to tell the difference between gold and purple jewelry. Scathing jewelry isn't that hard to get--I have almost 3 sets of it already.
