Which Cyrodiil sets should I keep and which ones can be safely deconstructed?

joerginger · February 2020

During the event I gathered a lot of pieces of Cyrodiil gear and wonder if more experienced players could kindly offer some advice about which sets I should rather keep - and which ones are safe to deconstruct because it's unlikely they might ever find use.

Sets I got pieces from, in some cases even quite a lot:

Affliction
Alessian Order
Almalexia's Mercy
Bastion of the Heartland
Battalion Defender
Battlefield Acrobat
Beckoning Steel
Blessing of the Potentates
Crest of Cyrodiil
Curse Eater
Deadly Strike
Desert Rose
Eagle Eye
Elf Bane
Grace of the Ancients
Indomitable Fury
Juggernaut
Light of Cyrodiil
Ravager
Shadow Walker (for Dark Brotherhood sacraments perhaps?)
Shield of the Valiant
Soldier of Anguish
Spell Strategist
Steadfast Hero
Vanguard's Challenge
Ward of Cyrodiil
Wrath of the Imperium

Should I keep all the 3-piece sets in case they might become useful with the new artefacts?

Keep Heartland, Potentates, Deadly, Elf Bane, Spell Strat.

Crest of Cyrodiil is a very strong selfish tank set, which has worked well for me in places like VSO off-tank.

Potentates, Elf Bane just in case, Spell Strat for PvE, the Stam Fury if you got any.

Thank you!

Master Merchant or Tamriel Trade Center (TCC) provides prices which can provide guidance.

If on PC, the respective add-ons will put the value right in your tooltips of the items.

Valuable one's: store or trader sell (can always re-buy if you need)
Low value one's: decon or merchant sell

With the upcoming Artifacts, the 3 piece sets may become more valuable. Time will tell.

I'd add Desert Rose and Curse Eater to the list of potential saveables, if you have room. DR isn't meta anymore but it's still a very solid set that sees some use. And Curse Eater will potentially be much more viable as a group healer set next patch.

They all sell. Especially in OK traits. I wouldn't decon good traits ones at all.

I'd add to what you're saying that everyone has different needs. Thus the 'meta' isn't as static as in other games, since you can slot different abilities/gear/CP/consumables.

You can never know. One day they will buff one set or make another worthless, depending on the content they are adding. The best sets will always drop from DLC trials or veteran arenas.

Besides those mentioned above: Battalion Defender.
