9 Trait Magicka Sets

After looking over all of the 9 trait sets, there is hardly any incentive to finish getting 9 traits on light armor pieces. For Stamina, we have Morkuldin and Eternal Hunt. For hybrids we have Pelinal's Aptitude (which functions best as medium armor). There's also Armor Master which, let's face it nobody really uses that I guess tanks could use but why? Then there's Twice Born Star that's good for any type of build but there's nothing that says "this is a Magicka set" like there is for stamina.

I have yet to actually do anything with my fully researched light armor. I would like to see this change in a future patch. How about you guys? Do you think we could use a fun 9 trait magicka set to reward crafters for actually fully researching their light armor?

    I mean just look at Eternal Hunt and Morkuldin! Those are fun mechanics! You summon a glowy sword that attacks for you or leave behind a poison rune when you roll dodge? That's fun!

    They are clearly pvp sets, and i highly doubt that you want to dodge alot in pvp as a magicka player

    Which is why they're stamina? You would be shooting yourself in the foot trying to use those as a magicka player. I was saying those are fun sets with fun mechanics, where's the fun 9 trait magicka set?

    The magical hunt

    2 piece adds X magic
    3 piece adds X spell crit
    4 piece adds X spell dmg
    5 piece allows you to roll dodge using magic, roll dodging grants major evasion for X secconds

    I get that magicka users want to have cool sets, but TBH they've already got the largest armory of unique spells and abilities. Stamina users for the most part use the same cut and paste setup. The main draw of stamina is the diversity of tools that they have access to.

    If new weapon skill lines for stamina open up I have no problem with magicka sets getting cool effects. But until then let stamina have the larger pool of tools, while magicka has the larger pool of spells.

    I was going to click yes until I read this. I fully agree and this is as a guy that is hybrid/mostly magicka based and is a 9 trait crafter in most motifs.

    But that does nothing to address that there is no real reason to have 9 traits unlocked on light armor given the lack of magicka sets. Come on ZOS, reward me for having done that work! Give me something fun to play with!

    People do indeed use armor master...its especially useful for a light armor build that needs resists...you can hit armor cap in light armor using that set + unmovable brute. A niche build for sure, but it exists. That being said, I am all for more 9-trait sets since crafting in this game is in such a bad place.

    Eternal hunt is the closest thing to a sustain set for stamina to be crafted and takes 9 traits, seducers takes 3 traits. Kag's is awesome for magicka at 8 trait and has no similar stamina set. If anything they should add more stamina sets at lower traits that are actually useful.
