What sets do you use for "Fun"?

Nova_J · May 2020

Do you guys have any sets/builds you were just to mess around in? Wether it be roleplaying build or a toon that was inspired from something you like.
My fun toon is a mag dark elf vamp, I run Unfathomable Darkness with BSW with the Swarming bat ultimate. The Bats and the crows with the burning wall active looks dope af.
Im curious to see what other people have come up with to derp around in.

The fire/bat/crow combo sounds fun indeed

(I hope the Greymoor vamp changes don't break your build!)

I have a Nord Stamden for solo stuff, I'm planning on playing through Greymoor on that char. She can do the Harrowstorm dungeons on normal without issues (so she could catch up with Lyris), but since I passed up a lot of damage skills I wouldn't take her into vet content. This char is just for fun.

I'm running double 2hander (like a proper Nord since bows are a coward's weapon).
For ult, I'm using the Warden Bear. And for monster set I use Selene. Bear-mauling-power to the maximum!!!

And I 100% refuse to use any other Warden ability. No netch, no flies, no shalk. I don't care how useful they are. The Dunmer can keep their stinking vermin, no bugs for this daughter of Skyrim, you hear me?!

I made a nightblade werewolf whose sole purpose was to create as many combat pets as possible. I had the two wolves, morkuldiin floating sword, a hunger, and a daedroth. People get so confused in duels that I kill them while thwy are trying to understand why 5 pets suddenly started attacking them.

Since then I scrapped the build, only for literally every set the build used to get buffed this next patch.

I can't wait to combine: Night's Silence (Coward's Gear to farm) + Jailbreaker + Ring of the Wild Hunt.

Stealing (Farm) will be very fast.

10 pieces of spinners, would be nice if sets actually stacked

I used to have a vampire build using Invigorating drain as main spammable for the extremely high ultimate regeneration and soul assault whenever ready (like, every second rotation). I could reach around 28k dps with this, having lots of self healing and good burst dps.
But Soul assault has been changed, now the vampire skills are changing too, so I don’t expect this kind of ultimate centered build to ever come back.

Another build I am running now is a Templar using Solar Barrage for the +40% Light Attack boost and I use Light attacks as a spammabe and sets like Maw of the Infernal, Queens elegance (not essential, just for the higher LA tooltip

), etc.
The advantage and the reason for this build was: I abhor magicka management.
With this build I could almost completely disregard magicka regeneration as I only have to use my Dots and then Light attack until they run out.
Around 32k dps is what I can do spamming light attacks like this and not even having good rotations and I am happy with that.

However, I don’t expect this too last much longer either. The planned changes to LA and HA will likely be the end of it.

I don’t know if these builds sound like fun builds to you OP, since I tried to make them usable in group content, but I certainly had fun coming up with them.

You don't need all of those to reach the speed cap, in fact you can get away with just one of them depending how you build.

This is my stamsorc orc farmer (comfortably at the speed cap), built specifically to run for mats without having to mount:

Is that how we're supposed to farm forum stars in 2020, @Nova_J ? By posting a topic in the wrong section and then re-posting in the correct one?

Stamplar

5x Morkuldin
5x Essence Thief
2x Sellistrix

Very fun for a roly-poly Bosmer ...

Mad Tinkerer on one of my sorcs. Every time it knocks an entire trash pack into the air I shout, "STRIKE!"

Hamish999 · May 2020

My petsorc pure cheese build is fun in BGs:

You can have 5 pets up at once if you drop Bob the Atro into the mix

Though I tend to swap out Tinkerer for Plague Doctor for some more survivability these days.

Veles · May 2020

I use it for fun while leveling stam characters.

Banana · May 2020

Grothdarr Elfbane Overwhelming Surge on my mdk

Larcomar · May 2020

Grothdar, overwhelming surge and Thunderbug in my magsorc, with boundless storm, LL, Woe, streak etc etc Boom...

Watchdog · May 2020

Shadowrend/Maw of the Internal and Mad Tinkerer. Especially on a pet Sorcerer. I am thinking of adding Coldharbour's Favourite into the mix just for the fun.

I also use Selene and (edit: damned automatic corrections) Defiler on my Warden.

Kadoin · May 2020

I'm scared of saying anything because I already have 8/9 of my non-meta chars getting a massive nerf one way or another the next patch, so...

That set is fun to use with Volcanic Rune. You'll have more mobs in the air than on the ground.

I really like the exploding guar from the Coldharbour's Favorite set. He's worthless in PvP because players just run away from it when it spawns, but it's nice to use grinding trash packs as long as you get the first hit in.

Starlock · May 2020

This is... pretty much the only way I play the game. Character concept always comes first and the sets I use for them are an extension of that. So long as I can solo most world bosses and do some sort of dungeon role good enough, fun and sticking to character is absolutely the priority.

Besides, what self-respecting artificer doesn't explode in gears (aka, livewire set) when they are hit by enemies? And why wouldn't they use spare parts cobbled together from automatons to enhance their natural strength (aka, strength of automaton set)? Plus, no artificer is complete without a trusty mechanical minion (aka, engine guardian set). As an Imperial who used to be in the military, they know a thing or two about holding the line to protect their fellows too (aka, batallion defender set). Considering I've tanked vet DLC dungeons and normal trials on this guy (who is a templar, no less) I see no reason not to let fun and character design take priority. Probably couldn't do vet trials, but I have no interest in that anyway.

Nah, I was wondering why I couldn't see it in gen discussion and it's because I posted it in combat mechanics smh. Lol ik.a little slow sometimes.

Going into Cyrodiil with Caluurions and Julianos combined. With the impenetrable meta going strong I don't expect to do much, but that Caluurion proc is always enjoyable to see go off and hit someone over the head.
