What is the best overland, dungeon and trial gear sets

Spammable is Lethal Arrow, Sub Assault, and Arrow Spray

And what is the theory behind youre gear selection? I would really like to see more bow bow builds. I have seen some on youtube by content creators, but I want to see what other people are using who have more unique builds other than just youtube.😁

    Tzogvins and Relequen is a good combination. Relequen because Relequen, but also because it's easier to keep it up under real conditions if you can attack from range, so you'll actually use it better than melee builds. Tzogvins is a similar story but there it's also because your Lightweighted beast trap is very unreliable at range so you need a source of minor force. Channeled Acceleration would also be an option and allow you to go for a different set. Briarheart for example if you want more self heal.
    vMA bow on the backbar if available and Tzogvins on the front bar (stacks last longer than Relequen's and is easier to stack).
    As for Monster sets you can go with Grundwulf if you need more sustain, or Slimecraw if you don't run Bird of Prey and your healers suck at keeping minor berserk up, and if you need neither you can go 1 piece of Slimecraw and 1 piece of Grundwulf for more crit or completely drop the monster set in favor of having Relequen and Tzogvins up permanently and using a master's, asylum or blackrose bow on the frontbar.

    There should also be one coming up on t3hasiangod's youtube channel soon because he made some in the past and it would surprise me if he didn't do it again this patch.

    Great theorycraft. Thank you thank you. I have been considering running Asylum bow due to bonus. I only worry about the time it takes to set up the heavy hit from snipe(1.5 second cast time and arrow spray. Do you think Asylum bow is viable?

    It was certainly viable in Scalebreaker. Not sure what the damage is at now. I haven't been playing my bow/bow build in Dragonhold so I am not really up to date anymore, but last time i checked it fell out of favor in Dragonhold because the dot of Poison Injection and Acid Spray itself took a big hit. That shouldn't have changed with Harrowstorm.
    So probably not use Asylum and go for Master's or Tzogvins with monster sets if you can.

    With rele/tzogvin/stormfist can pull 50k on a 6 mill self buffed. Using snipe as spammable. It's a great solo class, but the buffs you provide are present in trials which is why wardens are low tier trial DPS (about 75k-80k on trial dummy for bow/bow).

    But in many instances solo/dungeons I switch to cutting dive for the passive healing and off-balance (if enemies die quick enough you can get to take advantage from off-balance which helps both you and your team mates.

    You can also swap Relequen for Vicious Ophidian when dungoen running just to save on potions. You can even swap out stormfist for grundwulf for more sustain if your not getting reliable orbs and run bi food for more HP.

    For even more sustain you can put lotus blossom on your backbar which will give you even more resources on each light attack as well as major savagery which will save you from ever using pots.

    It's very flexible and you can adjust to every type of group, with 2 flex spots on your backbar, letting you provide CC, group buffs. Such as time freeze (very awesome since it costs magicka), altar, orbs, ice fortress/frost cloak. When you heal a teammate you give them 10% more max HP.

    My setup when in bow/bow mode

    Backbar: Endless hail (vma bow), flex spot, vigor, netch, bird of prey/lotus blossom.

    Frontbar: Snipe/dive, sub assault, arrow spray, growing swarm, bird of prey.
