✭✭✭✭✭Iron Flask is interesting for sure. That could fit pretty well with Clever Alchemist for a setup that provides damage and defense everytime your potion cooldown ends.
Eye of the Grasp is actually less than Minor Heroism, at 1.4 ult per second. I guess it could be stacked with Major and Minor heroism, so you could make a pretty substantial Ult gen build with it. And somewhere around 3 ult per second from the set and something like Shalks + 1 a second from decisive would be interesting. Would have to see.
Wretched Vitality is just a more complicated Amber Plasm.
Everything else seems a little weak imo. The 8K damage shield every 6 seconds would be ok if that value isn't capped in PVP, essentially giving you a 3.5K shield or so at best. And even at 8K, most light attack spammable combos would burn that in the first second it procced.

I think that the new set actually sets in between Minor and Major Heroism in terms of ult/second.
Minor is 0.67 and Major is 2.0. Though you can bump those values up with the Decisive trait where Grasp would not benefit nearly as much since it ticks far less frequently.0 -

Ah yeah, wrong math for Minor. So it is better than minor. So maybe not too bad in that regard.0 -

✭✭Wretched Vitality is a sleeper. If I understand correctly something like your armor buff (Major Resolve) and Race Against Time (Minor Force) will proc both parts of the set. 390 magicka and stamina is a lot. This replaces Eternal Vigor. I'm sure my stamsorc will love it, e.g. if Hurricane activates both parts of the set (Major Resolve + Minor Expedition). Look at the proc time. 15s. It's like it was made for stamsorc! Neither Shacklebreaker nor Eternal Vigor nor Amber Plasm are back barrable. This looks like it might be.

Class-specific but if the combo that they identified works as described then there's no reason not to use it as a StamSorc (when compared to Amber Plasm). And the ability to back-bar a set is huge for build flexibility.6 -

These sets simply have proc conditions that activate from stuff we already do in combat:
- Applying a major/minor buff/debuff
- Drink a potion while in combat
- Deal critical damage
- Deal critical damage with a direct damage ability
- Deal direct damage
Most of these proc conditions are common, so I don't really get the "rely[ing] on skill gained through practice" description. Seems like more of the same of what we already have with sets.0 -

You have to spend resources, use a consumable, and deal damage. Those things are not "free". And these sets don't do the work for you. You have to make the best of the buffs you are given. You don't just heavy attack and blow someone up for X amount of damage. Or heal for taking damage (which defeats the purpose of learning to avoid damage). No, what you get out of these is what you put in. I like that.1 -

What's the full build? As I am in the process of doing the same now, but kinda can't decide on certain things.
It is more of a concept than full build i was experimenting some time ago on my Argonian DK.
Idea is simple - focus on massive bursts in short periods of times.
I was using Clever Alchemist for dmg buff, Balorgh for pen buff, Argonian for sustain buff & potions for immovability.
With glyphs of alchemy I was able to reduce cooldown of potion to 30 sec. so I had relatively good uptime on CA and decent uptime on immovable. With infused jewelry you could reduce it to 24 sec. to get better results but then you will lose almost 1k of dmg from Bloodthirsty trait.
Now with Iron Flask I could also get defensive boost and it will perfectly stick together with CA 1 -

It doesn't need to be deleted, it just needs to stop combining the effects of 3 different skills into a single set. Why anyone would think having a set that can do the job of timestop+vateshran shield+magicka detonation is a good idea is beyond me.
ZOS used to balance excessive effects with excessive cooldowns (see the old phoenix) but apparently that isn't a thing anymore because it wasn't really fun and led to a lot of set swapping.0 -

Ksariyu✭✭✭✭I gotta say I'm kind of confused here. These procs are all the same level of interaction as sets from base game. I'm not saying they're bad sets, just not really different from what we already have (And in fact we've long since reached the point where there's just too many sets). You mentioned needing skill to take advantage of their buffs, compared to sets that heal from taking damage, but I'd say the second set in this case just gives you the option to lower your needed survivability in other areas, which is just as interesting.
Dark Convergence though I think everyone agrees is a bit excessive and will very likely get reworked soon.1 -
