Are crafted set builds viable?

I am looking to upgrade my main with newly crafted gear. Hes a PVE mag healer templar. I was thinking about 5 Julianos 5 Magnus 2 Torug (staff).
Or maybe 5 Mara 5 Seducer 2 Torug.

I found it quite strange that nobody seems to be discussing the new crafting options. Are crafted set so underperforming or is there so little
hope in jewelry crafting?

There are two aspects to your question.

Upgrading crafted jewelry is and will be very expensive for quite some time. It's much easier to farm jewelry of a dropped set than collect enough platings to get your crafted jewels to purple or at least blue.

Those setups you provide are very... meh. There is a reason why SPC (and now Olorime's) are a staple for healing. They really are that strong. And those two pieces of torugs are pretty much nothing compared to something like earthgore, which literally saves lives.

As a new healer I might try to farm the new healing set in Summerset specifically the jewelry and then two other pieces to complete the set (the set grants major mending). I would then craft Julianos until I can get one of the sets that grants major courage.
