BG/rotw Gear used at all?

bongtokin420insd16 · January 2019

So does anyone actually use any of the gear that drops from bg's (cowards, impreg, etc)? I can see a use for cowards gear for a runner build, but the other pieces seem stale and unbalanced.

Can someone chime in and tell me if anyone really uses the other? I'd like to sell them if they are useful, but if not just gonna decon.

Same with the new rotw. I know everyone is hot on spell strat, but are the others getting any love? The acrobat look useful, maybe. Don't want to waste others time selling crap, but don't want to decon something someone might want too lol. The classic conundrum. Ty all.

Wizard riposte for mag toons can be used

Impregnable is very strong defensive set in CP campaigns

Spell strategist is the best rn, impreg, riposte, battlefield acrobat. Others may be used here and there but not much worth noting.

I use Coward's on my crafter together with Fiords for speedy mat collecting.

I also trying out a build I saw with cowards on my pvp Stamplar.

I use Battlefield Acrobat on a stam sorc atm, quite liking it.

I've run several builds with impreg...

Wizard's Reposte still gets used a lot

ok great feedback.

So then, are the traits that are desirable the same? Divines or impen on medium, same on light ya? Heavy wants infused or reinforced?

It cowards more for well-fitted? Weapons infused/nirn id imagine? (i know it won't drop in nirn)

Sorry for all the questions, but i am rather lacking on knowledge outside my class and am not fully aware of their needs/wants in armor pieces/weapons.

All sets Impen for PVP.

Light/Medium Divine for PVE, Heavy Sturdy for PVE if it is a tanking sets.

Sometimes infused on big pieces for PVE.

Well-fitted is used in some niche builds, or maybe more often in CP campaigns (I only play non cp and there you commonly go for all impen, because you can't reach the cap even with impregnable armor).

Weapons mostly infused, sometimes sharpened. Restoration staves are seeing more different traits like Powered, Lightning staves for healer sets use sometimes even charged.

Some other sets you could look out for are Elf Bane, Warrior's Fury, Transmutation, Heartland.

Also ZOS announced some changes to old Cyrodiil sets which are rarely used, so it might be wise to hold on to some of the bad sets if you got the right traits. They might sell very well after the next update.
