Having tried to get the style page for Zaans and Symphony of Blades, I can now say I've got a TON of shoulder pieces in my collection, and therefore will probably not need new shoulders till Q4 2021.

The downside is that they've really ruined monster sets this patch and now its almost pointless to get the same helm and shoulder set.

Aw man, I would have liked Deadwater. RIP.
Hopefully console gets it next week.

welp I guess I am using up some AP this weekend

What's the consensus on the Tzogvin's set?

It seems like it should be pretty dang good, but I rarely see it brought up in my circles... Is it because the buff only lasts 5 seconds, so you kind of can't back bar it or something?

I feel like there must be a reason people don't praise this set more, and I'm just missing it...

Funny I was going to make a stamplar build post using that but got lazy and realized its much more fun to be the ResidentContrarian on these forums instead of providing too much useful information.

All depends on your skill level. I use it for a jab-only stamplar in PvE and PvP and reach 84% crit with it and get to keep my defense. I am sure that is the way the game is meant to be played.

Don't really need that much crit in PvP or PvE, so I will adjust build eventually, but there is a lot of build adjusting to do (23 chars for me) and I don't adjust builds like others do. I take into account every possible scenario and probability. Takes time to model all of that...

Keep it a secret, please.

I give it my OP seal of approval. That's not something I give out lightly...

I know a few who swear by Tzog on stamblades.

Bow builds tend to use Tzog, and also werewolfs too.

Oh snap, good call! I didn't even think of it for Werewolves. There's no other way for them to get Minor Force, is there?

Nice one, @vgabor ! You should ask The Golden for a cut of the sale, because I'm probably going to pick them up now based almost entirely on you pointing that out! haha

YouTuber Lucky Ghost literally puts Tzogvin's/Relequin/one slimecraw and Ring of Pale Order on every single stamina build he makes.
Not even joking, every single stamina build ...so much diversity 😯

Not that that means anything, of course...just one YouTubers opinion.

Well, most of them is using the same few sets, soooo...

Once I have seen a really original one. For PvP. Based on massive health & recovery. It was even using Trainee set, which I consider OP solution. But now I don't remember who was an author of that and don't want to shot blind.

Yeah, nothing against him (or any other content creator) but that's pretty much the exact reason I don't pay much attention to others' builds.

They do good work and all I assume, but I'm not so much interested in the meta and kitting out every toon with the überultimeomega best sets as I am finding interesting and unique builds for each of my characters. Like, I want them to be decently strong builds and everything don't get me wrong, but I do my best not to reuse the same set on ANY of my 18 characters which means I need to find what's better for which class/theme/etc I'm aiming for -- which is something I can't really follow other people's guides to achieve. Kinda gotta choose for myself which sets I want to keep/replace for my wacky subpar setups. :P

But it is nice to know that it's seen as a good or better-than-good set by people who follow/influence the meta! Thanks for the insight.

For anyone else who winds up here:

I forgot about the also solid Gryphon's Ferocity set, which is also an easy source of Minor Force for Werewolf builds. Gryphon's speed boost is pretty nice on a WW I bet, since you're always feeling a little hurried to keep the transformation going. IIRC it's also got a sort of orange-ish streak vfx from your hands and feet while the buffs are active, so that might be something to consider if you're finicky about such things.

(For those wondering: Tzogvin's effect kind of makes your entire body look... misty? shadowy? not sure the best word for it; you're transparent in a way that's similar to Major Evasion, if you know that visual effect.)

Looks like Tzogvin's for the higher DPS, or Gryphon's for still pretty decent DPS + a bit more speed. Tough call, honestly! Nice that we have variety of choice for similar setups, though!
