Does anyone here have that one armor set that you cant "get away" from?

riberion · August 2017

I love Rattlecage for my magicka templar since there is no class ability that gives major sorcery. I don't like entropy much as a skill, and this keeps me with 100% uptime on major sorcery without having to use a skill slot.

Edit: I use jewels and weapons so I only have one armor piece. This helps give me the undaunted 5/1/1 passive and allows me to still get all the passives from wearing 5 pcs of light armor.

For my hybrid Templar? Pelinal's.

Specter's eye.

It is the only set with the right combination of stats I want on my Breton tank..... its a pity about the 5 piece bonus having such a short up time, still it is a window of damage reduction.

I only have three characters so I just don't have enough character to be drawn to sets.

Seducers is the set I have crafted the most, typically for newer players, that need a set of training gear.

Phoenix Set
(2 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka
(3 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(4 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(5 items) When you die, you instead become immune to all negative effects and healing for 3 seconds. When the effect ends, you heal for 17200 Health and explode for 8600 Flame Damage to all enemies within 8 meters. This effect can occur once every 10 minutes.

I do love this for a certain DK Dunmer of mine, but when in PvP, the so called "heal" on resurrection is basically useless and just means you are stuck in place and die immediately again.

No it's not the "best" set. Hate the look (my use of costumes dates from here) But he just won't give it up.

Um and I tend to use Night's Silence for all my peeps who are wandering around IC.

The cool thing about rattle cage is there is a named ring "Gem of curses" which has the arcane trait.

Oh hundings, half of my bank is filled with different pieces and weapons in different styles. Got to stay fresh yah know.

how heart breaking is it that you can't hundings + pelinal or shacklebreaker + pelinal??

Solypsys · August 2017

I had twice born star on 3 of my characters until they gutted thief/shadow

I use Treasure Hunter on my magplar. Even though I never see it in any builds, I can't get away from it.

(2 items) Adds 933 Maximum Magicka
(3 items) Adds 664 Spell Critical
(4 items) Adds 664 Spell Critical
(5 items) Gain Major Prophecy at all times, increasing your Spell Critical rating by 2191. Adds 97 Spell Damage

when you use vampire bane or reflective light you get major prophecy. I think you can change your set.

KeiruNicrom · August 2017

I cant seem to build a tank build without adding leeching or bahrahas to it. Damage =healing is my favourite thing in eso. Which one i use is determined by if im a damage dealing tank(lots of dots) or just straight defensive/support

we definitely need jewellery crafting

Pijng · August 2017

Yep, clever alchemist is a "must-have" for my stamblade in PvP. I doubt I'll ever change this one.

profundidob16_ESO · August 2017

Magnus, SPC and combat physician depending on the situation I keep swapping between these

AnviOfVai · August 2017

I have always been a huge fan of Black Rose set ever since it came out. I loved the look of the set and I loved the stats it gave me on my tank back in the day. Unfortunately recently I have had to drop the set because I have had a build change. I have still got the set in my bank for a time when I will want it back again

Countcalorie · August 2017

necropotence on my magwarden.no point in running anything else.

Argah · August 2017

Vampire cloak, use it when tanking on my Templar, against advice from others full 7 piece because it was my first set and it looks good.

rootimus · August 2017

Sword Singer, Sword Dancer, Vicious Ophidian and Sheer Venom.

Arthg · August 2017

I stopped wearing my heavy impen Willow's Path this patch - when it finally got fixed.

Completed my first vMA run (and many afterwards) as a stam DK wearing it. PvE, PvP, I always had it on.

Biro123 · August 2017

Necropotence for my magsorc..

The others, I just keep switching, but I feel cowards gear may become one for a few of my stam toons.

But....as a Templar, why don't you just have Reflective Light in your rotation? It's a good upfront damage on three targets, has a burning DoT, slows the three targets by 40% and upon activation grants you Major Prophecy for 6 seconds?

Mitrenga · August 2017

Hunding and Julianos...
Vampire Cloak & Bloodthorn for my saptank.

jkolb2030 · August 2017

Night Mothers Gaze....

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet - but I just get so torn between this set and Hundings. Have been running both for the past 2 years or so.

xRIVALENx · August 2017

These are my go to sets for my tanks, consistent for the most part unless I feel the need to toss in Plague Doctor, Footman, Alkosh or Hist Bark. Would list my Stamina DPS sets but they won't be coming out of retirement until melee combat becomes more interesting.

DK Tank - Lunar Bastion and Imperium
Templar Tank - Imperium and Twilight Remedy
Sorc Tank - Lunar Bastion and Desert Rose
NB Tank - Lunar Bastion and Imperium

What can I say, I like glowing weapons and damage shields. Desert Rose is mainly used so I can spam Dark Deal.

Yep, and both of my rings are that. I also have a sharpened lightning staff and sharpened sword. I don't want to talk about how much time I spent in Vaults of Madness, lol.

Tan9oSuccka · August 2017

Hundings Rage and Seducer.

All the meta yolo users and sets come and go. These remain true.

fred4 · August 2017

Skooma Smuggler on my magblade. I play in Imperial City. It gives you 30 seconds of in-combat Major Expedition when you drink a potion. No magicka-centric potion does that. In particular there is no Speed + Detect pot. Cloaked scouting with Detect pot, attack, escape: Speed helps with everything in PvP. NB has skills to gain Major Expedition, but I find all of them wanting.

Crippling Grasp cannot be activated at will, while in cloak, where it would stack with the Concealed Weapon buff. Furthermore having it applied to an enemy interferes with your ability to cloak (it's a bug).

Using Double Take for speed is very expensive. The duration is too short and mixing it with cloak drains your magicka very quickly.

(Refreshing) Path gives you away in cloak and is really not that useful for the Major Expedition, unless you are pursuing someone in a straight line. That would also be expensive. You'd use it more for the healing and shadow passives.

Finally, like Alchemist, Riposte, and Transmutation, this is one of a handful of sets that carries it's buff over to the other bar, making it useful for 5-5-2 staff-based builds.

Puzzlenuts · August 2017

Julianos for me

The_Lex · August 2017

Magicka PvE: Julianos, BSW, Necro
Stamina PvE: Hundings, TFS, VO

Why?

Because ZOS doesn't believe in build diversity. The earlier patches of HotR look very promising, but then they decided at the 11th hour that build diversity was not worth pursuing.

sevomd69 · August 2017

That dang Trainee set... it just won't leave me alone... just following me everywhere... in every Stros, Betnikh, Bleakrock chest... Leave me alone!!!
