    Depends on the class. Magplar will always be 1 at the very least, DK most of the time would be 1 too. But sorc and magblade can get away with no defence sets and stack max magicka for shields.

    Wow...

    According to this sample size (albeit small), 78% of you guys are using 0 or 1 Defensive Sets while wearing 5 Light...

    For a while I thought I was getting so many kills on my 3 Defensive Set build because I was encountering a lot of bad players (and to a degree that is probably true), but now I'm starting to think maybe its not because all the players are bad, but because maybe they aren't as heavily invested into their Defense as some other builds are...

    How do you know you're getting kills with your wet noodle attacks? Console doesn't have killing blow trackers.

    Unless your playing solo 100% of the time and never going near allied zergs, you have no idea if that enemy dying had anything to do with you.

    I solo or do small groups most of the time...

    I am absolutely certain about my killing ability...

    With 3 Defensive Sets, I have no illusions about being able to kill a decently built character solo that knows how to play; I cant...

    But more often than not, he cant kill me either and I'm ok with that...


    Against most of the player base though, I can kill them...

    Getting kills and rarely dying; that's what a 3 Defensive Set build brings to the table...

    Mighty Chudan is great on mag sorc as a defensive set that provides you with benefits at all times. Pirate skeleton is probably the most useful one overall (if you can stand playing as a skeleton, I can't) but if you want a full auto-pilot defensive monster set, chudan is great.

    In 1v1 shadowrend is probably the best one overall (dot, minor maim + magicka sustain), and amberplasm is also a great option as a mix of sustain, damage AND defense if you take into account better capabilities in terms of dodging and breaking free.

    For stamina builds brass is definitely a good option too. Wizard's Riposte is not bad either.
