Song of Lamae set

Assuming the changes will go through as per PTS patch notes, Song of Lamae's cooldown will go from 30 seconds to 3.
(2 items) Adds 1487 Armor
(3 items) Adds 1487 Armor
(4 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
(5 items) When you take damage while under 30% Health, you deal 3786 Magic Damage to the attacker and heal for 3786 Health. This can effect can occur once every 3 seconds.
The health gained equal to the damage dealt.

Do you guys think this set will be worth it in pvp, especially battlegrounds at that point? Perhaps as an alternative for Pariah?

    No.
    That's a 2K hit (roughly)
    And a 2K heal (again, roughly)
    That's about one Light Attack and one Vigor/Rapid Regen tick every 3 seconds, and only while you're in the extreme danger zone of execute range.
    Additionally, it's one of those sets that falls under the "planning for failure" category; it only helps you when you're already losing, and in a danger zone that you should never let yourself get into. It doesn't help you stay out of it, or stay on top of your opponent. It's reactive rather than proactive and it's not even very good at what it does.
    The heal is not going to mean anything in that execute range, and the 2K damage tick every 3 seconds isn't going to "pressure" your opponent off of you in the slightest.

    Now given it's name, it's implied to synergize with Vampire, and it might a bit. With Vampire Undeath passives, a 2K heal might help you sustain and play on that edge that vamps are encouraged to play at with their various low health bonuses, and a 2K heal is more than 2K "effective" health when you have Undeath's % damage reduction on you, but honestly it's not that much better. Undeath only stacks feasibly to about 20-25% before you're so low that an execute is going to kill you anyway. That's about a 25% buff optimally to 2K healing, coming out to about 2500 healing every 3 seconds. Again, barely a Vigor or Rapid Regen tick.

    Sadly at those numbers, it will probably continue to be a "dead set". It's just not worth a 5pc set.
