New set pieces

LannStone · June 7

Just finished the main Solitice quest and side quests, looking at the new armor pieces I got, wondering is anybody going to use any of these instead of ones you already have? If so, which ones and why?

98 views and no replies - I'm going to take this to mean nobody is impressed with any of the new set pieces

Well, yes.

The mythics are going to be used (monomyth and rakkath)
The rest will probably not be too outstanding, but be usable.

Map set:Most old set better than they...
mythics:heavy attack and pvp?(I don't know)new meta,
craft set:not bad,a normal direct Dps choose

Tide-Born Wildstalker looks like a decent alternative, but I doubt it's gonna be any better than what we have already. Two big drawbacks I see are that it only boosts direct damage and won't boost healing.

Monomyth will probably be nerfed. Seems like a PvP mythic, and anything that grants Major Force usually tends to get nerfed either way.

Tide-Born Wildstalker is a great set that is highly regarded by theorycrafters. It's already on a couple of my alts for overland/dungeon activity.

In dummy parse results I have done and observed, it performs very close to ansuuls and deadly on direct damage builds.

Interesting note on Tideborn Windstalker - I had only checked out dropped sets - this does look like nice because it can be crafted

Full Belly Barricade may get used on a FRESH tank toon or something, but there are just better options than the other.

Order's Wrath is much better than Death-Dancer and is craftable.

Pretty sure Seducer/Magnus are also better than Three Queens Wellspring and those two are also craftable.

We've had a running problem in this game where we have just simply a ridiculous amount of item set bloat. These sets are not doing anything special and just get added to the sticker book as collection items for me. That's it personally.

I prefer sets that have visual effects so new zone sets are boring for me since just stats.
