Think its the only thing left for sets now tbh. It got updated so its easier to collect and ability to reconstruct it later then it got updated so all sets can be used as hybrid builds.

One thing that is missing is the ability to change armor weights of sets. Balance wise won't be an issue since lot of sets could be used by both classes via weapons and jewelry.


I want the ability to use special effects like using Overwhelming surge and Auroran’s Thunder on my stamina Pirate build but I can't since its all Light armor gear and I need it to be medium. Switching weights won't make builds OP and most likely it would not even make a great build but I love lot of the visual effects that ZOS made into sets and I would love the ability to switch the weights so can atleast have the armor perks activated and not care about the set buffs.

    Switching weights would absolutely make builds OP. And there is also nothing stopping a stamina character wearing all light.

    True but that point you would be using Magicka and not Stanima because you have no Stamina resources.

    Like if I am doing a Hybrid build of a Stam/Mag Necromancer and wanna use gear but its all light gear. I would only use Magicka because all of my Stamina drains so fast.


    Also won't make builds OP due to already using Jewelry/weapons.

    [Edit] I also like to again mention that I just want to be able to use lot of the sets Visual effects but it's dumb that if I do that then my stamina damage will be nothing and will have no stamina regain.

    It absolutely will make them OP, for the very fact that you are complaining: the ability to effectively use two off weight sets together on any build.

    If you want to run MD or light body, you can only run 1 heavy set on your jewelry. With weight change, you could wear two heavy sets and get the light or medium benefits. Which would absolutely make potential set combinations incredibly overpowered, since sets are balanced with their weights in mind. That is a part of the balancing process, and removing the weight requirement throws the balance completely out the window. Which would force them to re-balance the sets with that in mind, which would lead to significant nerfs of sets that are functioning just fine right now in their siloed usage.

    i do think the way armour passives have been redesigned so that, even as a stamina build, light armour is beneficial for you to wear. zos have streamlined the decision making process when building our characters in many ways, and will no doubt continue to do so (hoping they streamline weapon crit/spell crit into just "crit" down the line) which is good, i don't wanna sound like i'm complaining because i really do enjoy the direction the game has been going.

    but, i do think this decision, or maybe it's better to call it a conundrum, should stay in the game. i think it would be counter productive to the redesigned armour passives if we were able to change the weight type of armour sets. saying that, i do understand wanting this for heavy armour sets, since in general the heavy armour passives aren't very useful for a dps character, but at the same time most heavy armour sets are undesirable for a dps character anyway so i guess it just works out in the end.

    anyway yeah, i am against this, just off of the fact it would be pretty contrary design to how zos have been hybridizing the game.

    Welp, guess I am gonna be bored with Stamina builds then.

    All Stamina sets either have boring or no visual effects while Light and even Heavy sets have more better visuals.

    I get bored of the same class and weapon skills but being unable to actually use Sets just for visuals is plain sad.

    If that's the case then I am gonna be sad and bored. I only care about visuals and lot of the set visuals are awesome but can't use the combos I like due to not working right with my character.

    Like if I want to use Dark Convergence and Whorl of the Depths then I have to be a Magicka user since non help Stamina users with resource or increase stamina but mainly since its Light armor it won't activate the Medium armor perks.

    This is the main reason I was a Magicka user is because lot of the nice visuals in gear are in Light but when I try Medium there is only few nice ones. All there is for Medium is mostly Poison while Light and Heavy has all the good visuals.

    Yeah I know, just boring have same visuals in classes and weapon skills all the time and sets help make it better but does not help that most visually appealing sets are not in Medium.

    80% of sets are either poison or just boring stats.

    Arms of Relequen - mini-tornado on foes

    Deadlands Assassin - Throws lot of knives

    Galerion's Revenge - Makes Enemeis explode

    Sul-Xan's Torment - Collectable soul from dead foes
