Bahraha's Curse in sturdy?

Nemesis7884 · February 2018

Does this set (in heavy) come in sturdy and is just really hard to find or does it not exist at all?

IwakuraLain42 · February 2018

Jewelry from chests only drops in Arcane (from the new 1T version of Baharas Curse). The only way to get other traits is from TG quest rewards and heists.

Also I think the set doesn't drop in sturdy.

There are two loot pools for the Hew's Bane sets.

The original loot pool include all three weights (and you can get jewelry in all three traits), but have only a limited selection of armor traits (most notably, you will not find Sturdy or Impenetrable).

The new loot pool has the full selection of traits, but are restricted in weight; in the case of Bahraha, it will only drop in light armor and arcane jewels in the new loot pool.

Quest reward coffers from the story quest and from heists will reward items from the original loot pool.

World bosses, treasure chests, treasure maps, and killing mobs will reward items from the new loot pool.

If you want heavy Bahraha, you need to farm the daily heists (doing it on multiple characters helps). But keep in mind that you will never get it in Sturdy.

TL;DR: You can get it in light sturdy from overland chests/bosses or you can get it in heavy non-sturdy from heist/quest coffers. But you can never get it in heavy sturdy (unless you use transmute crystals, of course).

Hard to find, only drop in heavy from coffers (quest or heist dailies).

As far as I know the only heavy pieces of this set drop from the thieves guild quest rewards. Everything else in zone drops as light. Also I have never seen any purple jewelry.

Rex-Umbra · February 2018

I have full set of purple jewlery drops from chests

Nemesis7884 · February 2018

i have never seen any sturdy pieces or found sturdy on ttc thats why im asking... i have purple jewlery in arcane but have never seen it in healthy - at least in purple

phileunderx2 · February 2018

that answers why I have never seen any purple jewelry. always looked for healthy.

Sturdy gives no hits, heavy is 1-2K gold for each piece, jewelery only drop in arcane as TTC search indicates.
pretty weird, most overland sets outside of a few very pure sets drop in all traits.
Bahraha's Curse feels like an pvp set to me.

the interesting thing is that you do find health rings, just not in purple

I use it on my mag DK tank paired with Julianos when I'm tanking normals for the XP bonus -- especially if group damage sucks and there's a fake healer on board. The five piece bonus procs quite reliably with Eruption, I find.

Giraffon · February 2018

I like this set a lot for tanking. I gave up farming for it after like one day. I just buy this stuff. I have more gold than patience.

Taleof2Cities · February 2018

Nothing wrong with farming or buying off-trait Heavy ... and then transmuting the trait to sturdy.

Damage tank should work well and is an ignored setup simply as it don't work in trials.
In that case arcane jewelry should work well. On templar or warden you could double as healer to for an 3 DD run.

you might want to look into embershield as well

It's a pain in the butt, for sure. Especially if you're trying to get the purple jewellery... on the upside, I have the spawn location of just about every Hew's Bane treasure chest memorized after farming for days a while back. <eyeball twitch>

Lynx7386 · February 2018

I've run bahraha's curse and livewire on my nightblade magicka tank for a long time now, used to use it with leeching plate before the livewire set was added

Yep. It always frustrates me a little when I'm running random normals for XP on my healer and we get a trials-ready tank rocking Ebon/Torugs and DPS that hit like wet noodles... there's absolutely no need to run a meta tank setup for normals. I sometimes leave my tankier gear on if I'm tanking random normals with two competent DPS, but it comes off IMMEDIATELY when I hear the telltale sounds of Snipe spam.

Eh, maybe for vets. Julianos/Bahraha's is fine for tanking normals while also doing a bit of damage.

Narvuntien · February 2018

They really need to get the set in all three weights again. Its only ever actually used on Tanks now. Normally on the Nightblade heal tank. So they need to release it in the traits people actually want.

purple jewlery is one thing...in arcane i don't think its that hard to find but in healthy it's impossible it seems

it is a bit weird to me how at times with some gear zos uses a very specific rule set on what you can find where etc. where they usually don't... i used to think they have a very indepth plan for all this stuff that makes sense when you know it...more and more i just think they fling stuff at the wall and see what sticks

Yeah, the treasure chests only drop arcane jewellery and light armour. It's okay if you're taking a magicka DPS/tank hybrid through normals, but I personally wouldn't use it for anything else. It's a pity the set pieces don't drop in heavy from chests/overland kills... I know you can get heavy pieces through the quests/heists, but meh.

I'll make a dungeon tank setup with Baharha's Curse, Malubeth and Leeching Plate so I won't need a healer at Earthgore HM.

Hmm, interesting... I'd never considered using Withered Hand. Bahraha's/Withered Hand might be a good option for tanking dungeons with three DPS.

Pretty much.

My nightblade tank runs bahraha's curse, livewire, and sentinel of rkugamz. He's focused on magicka rather than stamina, so benefits more from livewire than from leeching plate. Sentinel of Rkugamz procs off heals (so pretty much everything my nb does heals, it's always active when off cooldown) and restores 500~ stamina per second, which allows me to maintain stamina while permablocking on the bosses that require it.

I also run a restoration staff back bar when more group/heavy healing is needed. Doing 3 dps runs is cake.

Withered hand only procs on enemy death, so it doesnt help at all on most boss fights. Livewire will provide damage and healing on aoe packs, and still procs during boss fights every 10 seconds for a minor heal. It also has better stats for tanking in general.

Leeching plate is ideal since it offers more healing and damage than either set, but it has a lower proc chance and doesnt benefit from any magic damage champion points.

Fuxo · February 2018

I am running bahraha's with 5x light fortified brass on my magblade, since you need a lot of penetration to actually fully benefit from bahraha's damage/heals. Also gives almost endless magicka sustain due to those light armor passives.

most boss fights have adds tough...its very rare that they don't

You're right, re: boss fights (though I do think Withered Hand could still work for boss encounters with lots of adds). I tried Livewire/Bahraha's on my mDK a while back, and ended up getting rid of Livewire; I run lightning staff on back bar, so I already have good concussion uptime as it is, and the extra healing taken bonuses don't benefit me all that much as an Argonian DK. I also found that the proc rate and cool down on the five piece heal wasn't worth it for trash pulls. I can definitely see how Livewire could work, though, for a non-DK tank with no equivalent to Green Dragon Blood.
