Mythics a wasted slot?

blackweb · July 2020

The new Mythic items have no stats, traits or enchantments.

Does that make them a wasted slot?

Are the bonuses so compelling they are worth giving up a 2nd 5-set bonus?

A 5 piece bonus for 1 slot doesn’t seem wasted to me, if anything they need further balancing

-They have traits and enchantments.
-You can replace a monster set
- You can run a carry-over proc set (like Clever Alchemist) and still get 2 5-piece sets and a monster set.

So yeah, they are worth it.

Mythic Items, like any other gear, are also eligible to Transmute the trait, @blackweb ...

One still has to proc it on the same bar as the 5 piece, though, correct?

Wild hunt is disabled while in combat. Which more then enough to balance it out.

The only one I hear talked about with any frequency is Malacath's ring, and thats only really good if you build around it. So yeah, mostly gimmick items that arent worth the price of losing a 5-5-2.

I would've liked a separate 'trinket' slot for mythic items, and in doing so I would have ensured each of these items was a 50/50 tradeoff in that the buff it gives was offset by some other penalty.

They are ok, Especially the torc but i prefer 5-5-2 🤷‍♂️ It gives me the ability to activate a defense set on backbar

Be creative

You can still run 5-5-2 and a mythic

On one of my builds I run two five pieces, 1 monster piece, mythic and a maelstrom weapon.

I like to try and use non-meta non-obvious builds. In PvP (mainly Cyrodiil) for my Breton stamDK I use one normal set (Cowar's Gear for speed and survability), Master Bow (Damage) and Asylum Greatsword (Ultimate regen) or Master Greatsword (Cyrodiil only), 2 pieces of Potentates rings (player damage reduction), Sellistrix Monster Set (stun and damage) and mythic Torcs for sustain. The last one works for me very well because I'm mainly stamina character but as Breton and DK I can use a lot of additional, even expensive magicka skills (healing, buffs, some utility). With this mythic item I can manage my sustain smart - when my stamina is out, I cast a lot of magicka skills to get magicka lower than 50% to buff stam regen - stam is low already so for some moment I have more regen to both resources and plenty of skills active.

It works really good. In BGS from time to time I have the highest score. In Cyrodill it's really great - I can run fast, I'm quite hard to kill and my damage is maybe not highest but enough to kill. For me it's middle ground between immortal tanks with no damage and glass cannons. I can run through ballgroup, make some damage and run without dying. I can run faster than escaping enemy, so I can finish him with my sword. I can't make a super combo to kill someone in 2 seconds but for me this is not a fun when you just fast execute couple buttons. I love strategy and fact that I can kill many players before they kill me in fair fight - it's fair because they can see me coming and they have time to react.

For me it's fun build because I can play in Cyro without dying every minute and also I can really do something to support my faction. Torcs are not used very often so there shouldn't be a nerf and having so many different sets gives me flexibility - I can change monster set or arena weapon without changing whole build.

Yeah, proc CA/7th/Venoumous Smite on back bar, then switch to front bar (NMA/Stuhn/Sword Singer). The back bar buff persists while you are on your front bar, so you benefit from 2 5-piece bonuses while still having room for a Monster and a Mythic.
