Personally you can't go wrong with Unfathomable Darkness. 5-pieces summons a murder of crows to peck-out the eyes of your enemies... Put that with the lava-pit from Grothdaar's Monster set and nobody'll get close to you...

    you might want to rephrase - effect can mean visually or it can mean best effect as most useful. And again usefulness depends on what you want to achieve.

    You're a real kill joy.

    From a mag PvP perspective Krags is hard to go past as it's easy to build on HP/Max mag/Regen/spell power/reduce res time with other sets.

    I think it's well-worded... I don't think I said "most useful..." If you want "Best" for you to be performance or usefulness fine... Boring but fine...
    If I want my "Best" to be visual effect based... i.e.-- much more exciting IMO, BETTER...

    Lich , it's so good in pvp, it provides good sustain + can be used only on 1 bar which allows to use 5-5-2.

    Fortified Brass! Wanna be tankier? Wear it in heavy. Wanna be agile? Go medium. Wanna be tanky but with better regen? Go light. You literally can't go wrong with the set.

    Hmmm... what are people not understanding about a "visual effect set?" What effect can you describe that SHOWS what happens rather than just telling me??

    best unique effect is TBS, in my opinion. This is the only set where you can't just re-equip one piece, you need to find another mundus and use it.

    You really should have called it "best visual effect".
    That being said I like mechanical acuity a lot. It makes you look like a ghost.

    Well the confusion stems from 'affect' usually being a verb that means to change or impact, and 'effect' which is normally a noun that means the result of a change or impact. The thread title points to 'effect'.

    In your thread's body text though, 'effect' is neither of these and is instead a 'visual effect'. So it's easy to see where the crossed-wires come from!

    OK... Come on.... I'll hold your hand... Look.... Do you see the word "affect" anywhere, besides in your post??? So, you had to make-up the presence of a word, so you could explain your confusion??

    I ain't confused mate! I was explaining why others may be using the word 'effect' to define the result of a set's 'affect', rather than using 'effect' as you intended, which is a 'visual effect'.

    Do you know what an affect is? It's a term from psychology, that has nothing to do with a 5pc set bonus.
    The OP didn't use the wrong word in his post, he simply didn't explain that he meant visual effects that result from a set proc and not the set bonus itself.

    Mad tinkerer should get an honourable mention.

    Best effect I think is calurians (spelling)

    Reminds me of little devils or angels appearing on my shoulders to judge others and damage them accordingly ...

    Not very great in combat but visually it hits a spot that makes me smile so that's my pick

    Stormfist + Thunderbug + Mad Tinkerer

    This combo is super fun and funny to play.

    For PvE.
