Snyergy Sets and Harmony Gear

Savos_Saren · September 2018

My guildies and I were talking about running a tight knit group of PVPers in Cyrodiil- and we've been discussing Harmony traits to our jewelry. This, of course, would be dependent on activating each other's synergies. We've all got Undaunted level 9- so we already benefit from the health, stam, and mag resource return. So here's the question: What sets would you use?

Alkosh on a Stam Sorc would help with damage and penetration for our stamina-based members.

Twilight's Remedy on our Mag Sorc would help heals and damage for both stamina and magicka-based members.

Maybe add Moondancer for the magicka-based characters?

Either way- these sets are only for secondary armor pieces. The main idea is to maximize DPS while activating synergies. Our MagBlade can use Soul Tether while our mDK (yours truly) can use Talons and Shifting Standard. Our MagSorc uses Liquid Lightning and our MagPlar uses Shards and Nova. (Nova, by the way, hits like a truck when snyegized with harmony rings!)

Do you have any suggestions of gear that might make this team better?

Do this. Use trapping webs, make a video. I wanna see spiders kicking butt!

Mystic orbs or trapping webs with Harmony might feel deadly.

There's few more synergy sets undaunted something and lunar bastion.

The harmony trait is surely worth it on some of the group members dedicated for taking up those synergies. A very powerful combo is the soul tether plus nova combo. It requires a nova dropped in the enemy group and (in best case) a magicka nightblade going in (via cloak for example), activating the synergy of nova and cast soul tether. Same goes for the synergy from talons or orbs, which allows strong aoe damage.

I am not sure how those sets you mentioned will play out. I think they are rather useless in pvp, but maybe someone can prove me wrong. I dont see the point in debuffing enemies in pvp with alkosh, since via harmony trait you expect the to die from the synergies and not debuff them and then doing damage. So vicious death probably is always the better options.

I am not a specialist about those groups, maybe you can ask officers of Zerg Squad from PC EU (if I only could remember their forum names....).

Harmony doesn't buff the effect from sets such as twilight or alkosh afaik

Lieblingsjunge · September 2018

Harmony increases the damage you do with synergies + it increases the resource return you get from e.g. Orbs or Shards, so if the group is able to provide enough synergies, it's definitely worth it. But it lowers your own stats a bit, so you gotta make sure the group can provide enough synergies for the trade-off to be worth it.

Although ZS never used any of the sets OP mentioned in relation to synergies, I don't think they increase the damage / effect of such sets. It increases the synergy-damage only. If you can run Liquid Lighting on your magsorcs + Talons / Shifting standard on your DK, you'll already deal a lot of damage. Maybe throw in a templar for Solar Disturbance synergy. You could also use the undaunted orbs (damage ones). Or the healing ones if you'd enjoy the burst-heal from them.

Idk. I really like the potential harmony has, in organised groups.

It probably just amplifies the original synergy bonus, not that of the set.

It all comes down to how it's bugged coded.

It may eventually turn 'feature' (code for "we don't know how to fix it"), like Elfbane + Groth/Zaan or JG/MA combo's

Fyi grothdarr has been SUPPOSE to work with elf bane since release; Gina came out and said so; it just took two years to actually make it work though...

I mostly meant the sets to supplement our normal abilities with extra damage, healing, and/or regen. If we're going to be utilizing a lot of synergies- we might as well stack sets and abilities to make them hit harder. I'll have to go onto the PTS to see if Harmony actually effects the damage or heals from the Thieves Guild sets.

I'd imagine that a 35/70/105% increase to the damage of Roar of Alkosh would be... interesting. The same could be said about the heal from Twilight's Remedy...

If your DDs run harmony you'd want them to have sets that amplify their damage like spinners or VD as the damage a synergy deals scales with the offensive stats of the guy who presses the synergy button.

the heal from remedy is not why healers ran it, it is the minor force, if that amped by harmony, you would see healers running that set and dps running harmony. now that would be interesting.
