The Most Useless Set nomination

Pick one set. JUST ONE. Not a top-3 or top-5, but ONE set you think is the most useless.
I would have said Oblivion but I learned there are people running this set to fill soul gems to vendor. So whether or not that is an efficient way to farm gold, it's not a useless set to some.
My vote goes to Sithis' Touch. It's a health set for a DPS character...so that's a major flaw already. And the 5-item bonus gives you major berserk after using the Blade of Woe -- which is contrary to the stealthy nature of the Blade of Woe to start with. This set make no sense at all.

✭✭I find it’s more often the case that the problem resides between the mouse and the keyboard rather than with the sets
So for me it’s Arms of Relequen while being used by a bad tempered soul that I spent a little time in wrothgar watching. For about 4 minutes or so they ran round in circles killing the same trash mobs, rummaging in the bag, then doing the same thing again. Eventually I worked out that they were swapping between hundings rage and Arms of Relequen 🤨
After that, in their infinite wisdom, they spent the next little little while ranting in the chat about how terrible the trial set was. That the DPS have gone way down. We endeavoured to point out in as gentle a manner as we could, that hundings rage is a reliable middling DPS set, just the thing for new characters chewing up trash, while Relequen is for killing a single target with huge amounts of health and not remotely suited to trash munching. We were called noobs by this all knowing god of gaming... 😂
If you want one though it’s adept rider... but then again maybe the pvp brigade have a use for it11 -

✭Sithis. I’m a hoarder and will generally keep at least relevant weapons with good traits and jewelry of pretty much every set I pick up, even crappy ones (I know, I know, like I said, hoarder). All except Sithis, that goes straight in the decon bin.10 -
gatekeeper13✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Seriously, whats the point of the Sithis set? It would be awesome if you could use Blade of Woe in pvp but as it is now, the set is total and absolute trash.8 -

This, false good and Vicious Serpent is perfect in an high trash level environment, hated the nerf on it an rapid as it was so fun clearing delves and public dungeon with rapid up all the time. its useless with no adds.Integral1900 wrote: »I find it’s more often the case that the problem resides between the mouse and the keyboard rather than with the sets

Arms of Relequen is the opposite, its for burning trial bosses or more common trial dummies.
Yes it useless sets in the game, I would vote for prayer shawl who is an worse version of combat physician who also is weak but makes some sense on say an cp 180 healer.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Anything that is a pain in the rear to get for me. Which basically means all bind-on-pickup sets.3 -
GimpyPorcupine✭✭✭✭✭I agree with Adept Rider. I mean, it says a 15 second cooldown, but when perpetually stuck in combat, the cooldown is measured in days since you can't re-mount.
Edit: they could actually turn this set into the Cyro meta if the 5-pc trait also allowed you to mount while in combat.Edited by GimpyPorcupine on January 16, 2020 7:53PM8-hr/day casual on Xbox NA. 20 Characters, all DC, all Level 50. +2900CP7 -

I actually came up with a build for Hanu's Compassion.
Hanu's Compassion + Jorvuld's Guidance... major heroism for DAYS when reviving people with the Necromancer Ultimate in Cyrodiil or BGs.
Then Jorvuld's doesn't even increase the buff duration of Major Heroism on yourself or allies raised. lolz
After I all the time I put into farming this theory craft, I put the controller down and put in a bug report and have never looked back. It was many, many months ago when I put in the ticket. I don't know if they ever fixed or not. Absolutely disappointed because that combination could have been LIT.8 -
Joosef_Kivikilpi✭✭✭✭Sithis' Touch is a real great one, as mentioned above...... after thinking about 10 minutes for a TOP tier trash set, I've decided that there are too many top tier trash sets to choose between.
Ashen Grip, Alessia's Bulwark, Stygian (after ALL the nerfs pounded it into a grave). Oh gosh, I just remembered Glorious Defender also!
Dude, so many top tier trash sets haha!4 -
iris56✭✭✭Reading this makes me curious about what useful off meta build people have made with "terrible" sets. I bet there are some really interesting niche uses for some of the less used sets.2

Pretty much this and no matter what Zos does there will always be 10% that are best and 90% that are worst.1 -

✭✭Vampire Lord set. That set is even worse than Oblivion's Foe set, buffing only two skills by 400 spell damage. Mist Form isn't even a damaging ability unless you are dumb enough to take the morph which adds a little bit of damage. You can get the bonuses to your vampire abilities AND any other damaging magicka ability by using War Maiden which is just as easily acquired.5 -

Stibbons✭✭✭✭✭All healer sets are bad: Vestments of Olorime, The Worm’s Raiment, Healing Mage,.. They are really nothing more than buff other players and make your own character weaker at healing and damage.0 -

✭✭Adept Rider worse than Ashen Grip?Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong technique0 -
Zulera301✭✭✭✭✭Adept Rider for sure.Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
"Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""0 -

(2 items) Adds 1206 Max Health
(3 items) Adds 1096 Max Stamina
(4 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka
(5 items) When you heal yourself while at full Health, you heal an ally within 15 meters of you for 2347 Health. This effect can occur once every 3 seconds.
But Sithis' Touch is truly awful.4 -
Ladislao✭✭✭✭✭It's hard to choose between Ashen Grip and Adept Rider. Let it be Adept Rider because you just can not mount in most locations.
The rest of sets are so far from the word "useless" that they can safely be called niche.Everything is viable3 -
kelseaux✭✭✭Y’all are forgetting the most unneeded set in the game. Can’t recall the name but it reduces your damage taken from guards. Like, umm, ok, they kill you regardless since they are basically terminators.Not Mr Sivy10
