    PVE wise there are wayyyyy better sets...
    For PVP there are better sets for specific builds (for example mDK = spell strategist, stamden=deadly strike etc).

    Is it a very good set? Yes! Is it OP or BiS? Nope, please inform yourself better.

    Like many here it really isn't worth running for the most part. It looks good but the cost increase hits you hard. Better sets out there.

    NERF NMA!!!!! :p

    Nerf sorc, really.

    What exactly do you want to still nerf? Our damage and survivability has been nerfed every patch since the beginning of time pretty much. Slowest projectile and execute in game which is easy to avoid, shields are wiped out in a single stam hit if they manage to get close, and due to lag they get close often, they are extremely expensive too, the travel time of overload is a joke. And dont even get me started on how they treat stam sorc like their unwanted step child.

    I don't care about Meta, nor BIS.
    But, being a crafted set, it comes with the advantage to be very flexible.
    6% on all stats, Medium armor focus with heavy chest and light belt, and my tendency to use triunes... My pools feel good.
    On my Hybblade, I use it with VO for vMA, and it is very strong that way.
    You actually begin to like mobs showing up. 😄

    It is a handy set to play around with and try new setups. As is TBS, to a certain degree.
    I have a golden NMA set, and I love it.

    Yeah those are better for single target but nma’s alright for fighting trash, just the sustain hits a pain so people use other sets or just keep rele on

    For PVP its one of the best sets in the game right now, nobody’s using Spell Strat or Deadly on a MagDK/Stamden, NMA/Clever Alchemist are just better

    Well I'm using SS. Why would I use CA on mDK? Strongest dots are single target, whip is single target too. You just cant use spell strategist, because you lack of tactic and positioning. If you run and hit everything around without concetration then yeah, use CA or NMA, but don't say its better on mDK.

    Dont be ridiculus, ofcourse releq is light years in front of new moon in terms of DPS unless you are playing arenas, but there are better sets than NMA too... Trash mobs are being melted with any set by decent player, what makes diffrence is skipping mechanics in the boss fights and here releq shines. I have done countless of comparisions on 20+ mil dummies and nothing, NOTHING beats releq on stam.

    If you're like me. You need to build a certain amount of sustain in to your build (eg 1600 stam regen, 1000 mag regen), using NMA means I need to make up for it somewhere. Sacrificing 172 WPD on jewelry for 1 regen stat of 169 means this set is esentially providing 300 WPD like Hundings Rage with some enticing 2-4pc bonuses. It really depends what you actually NEED and it doesn't work for everyone.

    If you're in the interest of pushing highest possible burst while dipping in and out of combat to regen, then NMA fulfils that role. I like zipping around in longer sustained fights so this set becomes useless when I compare it to others after accounting for the cost increase.

    I've been looking at sets like Briarheart thinking that the max 66% uptime was bad, but in reality, front barring this set means it carries over to the back bar anyway. The damage 5pc bonus is practically the same as NMA, the crit bonuses are what I need because I like using crit surge and it procs the healing of the set which is nice. Finally NMA is a good front bar option, but that means I'm probably getting about 60-70% uptime since I'm on my back bar on defence anyway, meaning I also get weaker heals when I'm on my back bar.

    So saying it's BIS is BS. It's not even that powerful imo. It really depends what stats you need. The best part about this set to me, is that it's a hybrid set, double dipping stats across the board making it the most stat dense set in the game. Pair this with a set like shackle breaker, dark elf, tri stat food, tri glyphs and you have a hybrid that can use any damage ability, magicka or stamina to a useful degree.

    Who told you that lie? On a MagDk anyways, there’s way better stuff to run. Succession for one is WAY more damage.

    Bear in mind, leap’s cheap; but ANYTHING that increases the cost of your ulti is trash. NMA is FAR from bis on a MagDk.


    I am a MagDK that runs NMA but what about the battle roar passive ability that scales off ult cost? How does that factor into which set is best for a MagDK?

    I did however look at the Succession set and I must admit I will be farming for it soon for when I decide to slot a lot of flame damage abilities.

    Uh...so you’re gonna take a cost increase to improve your resource return on leap? I’d say the gains are negligible.

    You’re giving up a ton of damage to your spammable (whip), heals on embers, and damage off of your flame glyph (which you should be running). NOT to mention leap. Engulfing. Burning talons even (which you could run lol). Flame staff. You could even back bar ice staff for giggles.

    If you’re running MagDk and not running a ton of flame skills. What are you running.

    NMA? I unno. Better things to run than that.

    Probably best just to show you.

    Nah...don’t run that. You’re gimping yourself. You’re giving up too much damage. There’s way better stuff to run. I could link you my last 10 builds stretching back PATCHES that hit harder, had better sustain, and higher mitigation.

    Seriously though, try Succession Bright Throat’s, prismatic on everything, all arcane spell damage, witchmother’s, apprentice. 1 domihaus, 1 or monster set of choice. Leap and undo on the back bar.

    Give it a whirl. Take it for a spin. With all the flame damage you’re running you should definitely test Succession...

    If you’re just gonna run 1k magicka recovery you might as well Go Succession Spinner’s and DROP fools lol. I would lol.

    Any alternative to elemental succession? I never went to maelstrom arena.

    Thanks!

    Afaik battle roar returns resources based on base ult cost so actually you would want ult cost reduction or ult gen if you want to benefit from that passive more.
