vicious death is always good in zerg fights and defensive siege situations...

you need to be able to get killing blows, so pairs really well with mag sorcs and mag nb's...

and yes, you're right with aoe caps lifted bombers should be making a bit of a comeback in cyrodiil...

takes a little skill though to be able to pick out the weak target(s) in a group...not too terrible 1-4 piece bonuses...

Vicious Death Set
(2 Items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(3 Items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(4 Items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(5 items) When you kill a player they violently explode for 16605 Flame Damage

affliction was my very first proc set from pvp that I equipped...absolutely loved the name...

plus, 50% chance to proc - woo hoo...unfortunately it just hits really weak, so no one really uses it...not really great 1-4 piece bonuses

Affliction Set
(2 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage
(3 items) Adds 1096 Max Stamina
(4 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka
(5 items) When you deal damage, you have a 50% chance to deal an additional 2979 Disease Damage. This effect can occur once every 4 seconds.

haven't tried the other sets, but, some pvp folks do use ravager in their builds...

Ravager Set
(2 items) Adds 833 Weapon Critical
(3 items) Adds 1206 Max Health
(4 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage
(5 items) When you deal melee damage, you have an 8% chance to increase your Weapon Damage by 630 for 10 seconds.

some folks seem to make just about anything work, but, i've never really figure out these two sets:

Robes of the Hist Set
(2 items) Adds 1206 Max Health
(3 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(4 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka
(5 items) Reduces the duration of all disabling effects applied to you by 20%. While you are affected by a disabling effect, heal for 2000 Health every 1 second.

Bahraha's Curse Set
(2 Items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
(3 Items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(4 Items) Take 40% less damage from traps
(4 Items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
(5 Items) When you deal damage, you have a 25% chance to create desecrated ground for 5 seconds, which reduces the Movment Speed of enemies within by 70%, damages them for 860 Magic Damage every 1 second and heals you for 100% of the damage done.

in regards to the whole merchant aspect of these items...i'm on ps4/na and i spend way too much time talking with guild store vendors prices on most jewelry, armor, weapon items seem to be dropping all the time...except of course for the super popular stuff (spinners, necropotence, silks of the sun, spriggans, werewolf hide, etc.) and the weapons from pvp...gotta go to the merchant towns in cyrodiil now to get those weapons...

As long as you can keep DoT's going, Bahara's Curse will keep you alive. In fact, it pairs awesomely with Syvarra's scales as those two sets synergize with each other. I was running the two sets on a tank and he never died. This was back before Health Tanks became a thing.

yep, that's one of the main reasons I stopped calling sets "crap"...

there are some super creative players whom have an excellent understanding of all the different mechanics in eso...

just cuz I can't figure out how to use it - doesn't mean a whole bunch...

I'll tell ya @jusplay - seeing how much you got for those swords, sounds like i need to be getting merchant tips from you...

when it comes to selling gear - i'm like the 99 cent store of traders...i list everything to sell as quickly as possible...

I just got a lot of stuff
