Treasure Hunter gives your character a named buff: Major Prophecy. Buffs with the same name do not stack, so if you are not using any of the potions that offer Major Prophecy, then the set is okay.

I use Spell Power potions which include Major Prophecy, so I would not use Treasure Hunter because simply drinking a potion such as Spell Power makes the 5th piece of Treasure Hunter pointless.

Thanks...looks like I'll need to start learning alchemy.

Wait so....these potions last what....~50 seconds...is that right?

Yes, people chug them on cooldown. It sounds dumb, but some people have a lot of gold to burn.

If you pvp and have AP, you can buy them for 720 AP per pot. Zerg surf for a couple hours a week and you can keep yourself stocked fairly well.

This, note that you could then swap out inner light for something else like an shield then using potions.
You only use the expensive potions in hard fights.

@DigiAngel I agree with your thinking. I'm not competitive enough to be bothered sucking down potions and if my skill bars are legitimately full, I go to a set. Sucking potions every 50 seconds is not a horrible thing but simply not fun or affordable for some. Some of my mages therefore use inner light. Those that can't fit it on there forgo that buff or would do just what you are doing - seek a set that provides the buff. Treasure hunter looks like a decent set.

My warden runs Mighty Chudan because she doesn't have room to slot the warden's ice shield.

My magplar runs Rattlecage because she doesn't have room for a crummy skill that gives her major sorcery.

I have a stamplar archer who runs Dreugh King Slayer since she does not have class access to major savagery.

There's a reason we have lots of options.

Ya as I posted I'm not willing to burn a slot for Inner Light. And......some battles take 10 minutes...I'd be popping potions like pez. That being said, here's treasure hunter:

(2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(3 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(4 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(5 items) Adds 171 Spell Damage, Gain Major Prophecy at all times, increasing your Spell Critical rating by 2629.

And Julianos
2 items: Adds 833 Spell Critical
3 items: Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
4 items: Adds 833 Spell Critical
5 items: Adds 300 Spell Damage

I'm literally only losing 129 point of spell damage. Thanks...I think I'll just stick with Treasure Hunter for now.

Spell power potions/alliance spell draught will give you major prophecy, along with major sorcery, major intellect, and a large amount of magicka instantly. Using these will increase your damage and sustain SIGNIFICANTLY. When you max out your alchemy, you can make 4 potions at a time, and can keep the potion buff up 100% of the time. Only use the potions when you have a difficult fight.
Using potions make any set bonus that gives major prophecy, sorcery, or intellect, redundant. Your character will be more powerful using a different set and popping a potion when needed.

^^^This. You're better off losing a skill slot and running a set that gives you a buff that you can't get from pots or skills than running a set that gives you Major Prophecy.

@DigiAngel That particular build is meant to be heavily reliant on buffs from group play, hence the total lack of a strong self heal or Major Sorcery/Major Prophecy outside of potions. Its a pure damage build that has issues sustaining and healing on its own.

If you want, you can run Medusa (2 body, 3 jewelry) with Julianos. This will allow you to dump Channeled Acceleration and slot Inner Light on your front bar and put the orb on your back bar. If you want Degeneration, too, you can swab out orb for non-group play or Harness Mag for group play, though you'll have to be cognizant of taking damage.

Well I finally just slotted Maglight. I miss the speed of Channeled Acceleration (it's saved me a few times) and Necrotic Orb...I need to do my test of Haynekhtnamet to see what the difference is...frankly I honestly can't tell. Will keep updating

What the.....Skullstachio where we you when I needed you :P Ya I need to look through these passives more..I did not know that. Thanks so much...I have 2 or three setup's now using DressingRoom for quickswap...still usually running Mother's Sorrow + Julianos + Maw of the Infernal for most things....I swap Illambris though as it's good for mobs instead of one on one.
