Have you tried using Essence Thief?

I ask, because the effectiveness of actually getting to that Soul Fragment regularly in combat is very YMMV. It's better than it was, but if you don't like chasing it down, a magicka equivalent isn't going to do any good. Its not the sort of set you can judge based on the stats on paper.

Essence thief is one of those sets that looks incredible on paper, but is nigh on impossible to use effectively in combat. I wanted to make it work, I tried, but its just not viable.

It used to be completely worthless, because the essence would spawn quite a distance away, so in content, with adds, bosses, aoe on the ground, actually getting to the essence reliably was more or less impossible... and sometimes it would spawn in locations that were physically impossible to get, in a wall, up a cliff etc.

They changed it so the essence drops more or less right next to the enemy, but the above problems still exist, while it is improved and much more usable now, I found that often I was still missing the essence, or making mistakes, taking damage, not taking out an enemy or dealing with a mechanic, because my attention was partially focused on getting the essence - it was just as fast if not faster to concentrate and focus on the enemy, as trying to get a 10% buff to my damage.

That's just my experience, but I believe the set has also been tested and other more meta sets still perform better for either sustain or dps.

Have fun.

Yea and i wouldnt mind a stamina Spell Strategist and a magicka Hunt Leader

Sword Strategist
2 items: Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
3 items: Adds 129 Weapon Damage
4 items: Adds 129 Weapon Damage
5 items: When you deal damage with a Light Attack, you place a mark over your target for 5 seconds, granting you 500 Weapon against your marked target. This effect can occur every 4 seconds.

Master Conjurer
2 items: Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
3 items: Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
4 items: Adds 129 Spell Damage
5 items: When your pets attack an enemy you have also attacked in the last 10 seconds, you heal for 2433 Health and restore 1216 Magicka. This effect can occur once every 5 seconds.

I am fine with that, as long as we will get stamina version of Amber Plasm:

(2 items) Adds 1096 Max Stamina

(3 items) Adds 833 Weapon Critical

(4 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage

(5 items) Adds 276 Stamina Recovery
(5 items) Adds 276 Magicka Recovery
(5 items) Adds 276 Health Recovery

ITT: Lots of people saying that Magicka shouldn't get equivalent sets.

I wonder, do these posters perhaps play Stamina characters as their mains?

Because that sort of stance comes off as quite entitled when Stamina gets all of the best sets and Magicka characters have to split the meager leftovers with Healers.

If the shoe were on the other foot, I wonder if they would still say the same?

Back on topic, this idea would be a welcome for magPlars and magDKs but not so useful on the other Magicka classes. And that's totally fine. So I am on board with this while at the same time echoing other concerns about Essence Thief not really being as useful in practice as on paper.
