Thanks for actually explaining the pros and cons of the sets rather than simply listing them and not giving any insight as to why you would or wouldn’t use them. Really sets you apart from the other parasites that jump on trends. Very much appreciated, you deserve way more attention 🙏
Great list my friend, always appreciate the time and effort you take to simplify the choice of sets in eso, considering there are so many to choose from
Awesome video, it really helped me get an idea for sets to go after. The wiki page listing every set is very overwhelming. My suggestion for future videos is to leave up on screen where the sets can be acquired and their available armor class(es) 👍👍👍
"Scavenging The Mice"
Of course, I completely forgot about that set.
🔥🔥🔥👌🏾fire list my guy , gained a sub, I your magsorc is nuts too love witching the clips.
Amazing video!! Thank you so much!
Thank you bro, always helping the comunity
The explanation is more important than the rating. Hearing your ideas about what makes is good and where to use it helps understand how to select gear.
Nice! Thank you for this video
I love the custom names you've added as the way you pronounced them 🤣
Hey, this video was very helpful. I am however still kind of stumped in how to choose two sets that work well together. I'm playing a stamblade and want to run something alongside a master's bow and balorgh's.
On roller builds like that the most commonly chosen sets are rallying cry, night mother's gaze and wretched vitality. You can check out my website to get an idea of how nb builds look: eso-pvp-builds.com . Night mother's gaze works well on roller nb because if you have to apply major breach with a skill beforehand, it's a big warning sign to your enemy. Plus it gives you an extra skillslot. So this is a damage set. Ideally you also have some set that boosts your survivability, such as wretched vitality or rallying cry.
@@MalcolM. cheers for the tips. I've been using night mother's gaze and gourmand for the last couple weeks and it's been pretty good. I'll give wretched vitality and rallying cry a look.
informative. Thanks!
VERY VERY GOOD GUIDE! I’ve looked at 100s of videos and none even compared to how detailed yet simple this video was to follow. I will certainly subscribe
Good video...but...I want to know what your sets are on the sorc at the beginning of the video?
I need to farm draugrkin. I feel like deadly could make that beam even stupid strong.
I'm sure someone already commented it but didnt see it😅 but templar can proc off-balance with the morph dash, so they can use those sets with ease. Only commented cuz he didnt mention in the video
I know crimson twilight was nerfed but at 31k HP the tooltip is 4,337 DMG, if you’re outnumbered and that proc hits healing you for 100% of dmg done, doesn’t sound too bad still
Hi MalcolM saw your vid and written builds on your sorc also watched this video through. You use Draugkin grip on your sorc but im struggling to see how that works as i assumed its only good with dots lots of instances. Does crushing shock make it worth using
Yes, crushing shock makes it worth using because it has 3 damage instances + up to 6 damage instances from the status effects you can proc with the charged trait.
great vid appreciation and that
Draugrkin grip is a dungeon, not craftable. slight typo @ 28:30
Ah, I had a feeling some error might have crept in cause I wanted to release this before getting on the arcanist grind. Thanks for commenting, I'll add it in a pinned comment.
Can i substitute titanborn for Stun favor set? I like pvp so much, and im search for a strong option because i dont have Dlcs. And If stuns is good, what set is great to combo with
Hi malc, hist sap on dk front bar with trickery it's good options? Would 2 Def setup trying
I use way of fire with hexos ward and breeze right through public and group dugeons and arenas solo just me and my isobel companion.some but not all world bosses i' ve been able to do alone also
Thoughts on ashen grip? You mentioned Way of Fire whick is whats compared to Ashen Grip usually. It is a bigger burst and craftable. Also another question: does the change made multiple damaging proc sets to proc all at once reverted? I came back to the game after about a year and people seem to use multiple of these kind of sets together like deadlands assassin and caluurion on nightblades
Way of Fire has a completely different function to Ashen Grip. Ashen is melee only.
The whole point of Way of Fire is that you pair it with a weapon damage DOT like poison injection or rending slashes and get the constant extra fire damage hitting enemy on top of the DOT damage from the skill. So you end up with way more pressure damage with Fire than with Ashen.
Fire was meta on Stamsorc DOT build for a very long time. Paired with Poison injection, Master Duel Wield, Rending slashes, Draugrkin and Marselook - its a very popular build.
Ashen itself isn't too bad - there's just harder hitting burst procs out there. Red Mountain for instance hits about 4 times as hard.
& Scavenging will still whump them if you die, as it ticks twice.
Dope list, I agree with everything said.
Surprised no mention of Dragons Appetite though.
It’s basically a slightly lesser draughrkin but with a healing component instead of a healing taken nerf on the front.
Granted its not as potent on AOE focused builds compared to draughrkin, on DoT based builds tho it definitely can find its place :).
With the heavy upcoming maras balm nerf its gonna become even more relevant with dot builds.
True, I should've mentioned Dragon's Appetite as well! I would put it in A tier, as indeed it's a good damage buff though I don't particularly care about the heal much and generally I haven't used it in years, hence why I didn't think of it.
@@MalcolM. Fair, if i made a list Id probably forget a lot more then one XD
I will say though the burst heal every 5 seconds is quite nice on duel wield stam sorc, as they lack a strong reliable burst heal without pet or rally if you want snb/ice staff on the back.
@@nedbranezac1802 true, the last few patches it's just been outperformed my other proc sets like way of fire and maras balm so that's mainly why I don't run it. Perhaps with the maras balm nerf it becomes a better option now.
@@MalcolM. Agreed, maras has been overshadowing many sets for too long now, at least in a 1vX setting 👍
I’ve been trying out dragons appetite body with way of the fire front and vate ice back using flurry (bloodthirst) and twin slashes as (blood craze). Been quite suprised with the results so far as both crit surge and dark deal dont scale with WD. Kinda just getting ready for this dark deal buff and no mara meta to drop on console ;)
Malcom you should do the best dueling sets .
I had an idea for assembling a sorcerer's mana and I had a question about the set. Will set vestment of olorime work after using streak?
Great video! Thank you 🙏
Wanted to ask - what you think about these sets:
- dragon's appetite (on dw stamsorc for example)
- shadow of the red mountain (decent proc burst damage or nah?)
- poisonous serpent (similar tooltip as the way of fire but other condition for proc)
All three are good so A tier sets I think. Someone else asked about dragons appetite as well, it's a good DMG buff but I have always preferred other things over it (for instance procs like way of fire or maras balm on DW stamsorc, maybe it's better than maras balm now idk). Shadow of the mountain is as far as I know mostly run in duels and is a strong set there, can be good for open world too but again I've always preferred other sets over it because of the unreliability there.
Poisonous serpent I did think about adding as well, but I see it used too little and the poison dot requirement is a little too niche to add in the already long list of generally applicable sets.
@@MalcolM. Thx for reply!
I'm playing bow sorc now, stam spec: rele, rallying, magma, markyn or coil, vdsa bow
Have you tried bow sorc?
I wonder if way of fire will work better than rele in bgs on console (harder to tap target) or not? Or some other set like venomous smite idk
Cons of way of fire: gotta run 3 heavy pieces and I'll need to drop vdsa bow (or run 2 heavy 2 light 2 med) and run engine guardian or 2 piece recovery probably
On paper rele is better - dmg, med armor, but idk how good it is actually in my case. However rele can't crit and I sit on 40%+ crit and I'm khajiit, will be more crit with minor force from dark deal as well when update comes to console
@@summerbrezNot who you asked, but I play bowsorc on console, and I've found Relequen to be vastly superior to Way of Fire. Rallying Cry and Rele synergize nicely because all the crit. I'm sitting at ~ 50% crit chance, and over 5K dmg before some of my other buffs. If you can focus on one person, the damage becomes overwhelming
@@k-3402 thx for the info
Well maybe you right
For my playstyle though I found way of fire much better
I played for quite a while with both of them and way of fire is a clear winner at least for me personally
Great video!! I do wonder why you left Ice Furnace out tho? Maybe you mentioned it and i didnt catch. Or do i feel like thay is a better set then i think?????? I also running mag warden
I didn't mention it. It's specific to magdens, who then specifically have to run a frost build. Too niche to include in this tier list. It's a good sets if you have a lot of aoe frost damage though!
@@MalcolM. I have a masters Ice staff and Ice reach is my main span. I have Frostbite as my 2nd set so they play well eachother. Not meta but it's a fun build
Titan is actually a dope offensive set I use it on many class
I also have seen it being run on other specs than ganking, but I never found it worth it myself. I'd rather look for "safer" offensive sets or just some of the many stacked defensive sets with offensive enchants/traits/mundus etc.
@@MalcolM. yh everything can work for sure, for titan to work it's good to run 33k min health and stage 3 vampire, I loved it with vampire claw as a spammable on magden or magplar 🔥
@@virtualeso1706 The magden idea is also the only thing I'd use it on, similarly to the new arcanist it can more safely drop health and recover it really quickly.
No heroes in the comments or Malcolm didn’t put the whole list of all the sets name in the description.
Hey MalcolM what are your thoughts on hexos ward for arcanist?
I would advise against running defensive sets on an arcanist (outside of some really good ones like rallying cry), because it already has a lot of survivability.
Draugerkin Relequen sorc is sooo much fun
Malcolm, do you like essence thief? Also, will you do a tier list for monster sets, mythic sand arena weapons?
I like the concept a lot and I ran it every now and then in the past, but nowadays I generally avoid it due to the drawback (having to run after the pool in case it spawns somewhere you don't want to go) compared to other sets like those mentioned in S tier. I'll do a tier list for those other sets as well later on, I avoided those now because the video would be too long in my opinion.
gg dude
I’m watching this in hopes to see you mention what some of these arcs have been wearing. I’ve been told it’s Hrothgar, but I have my doubts. Lf the arc secret sauce 🌝
Tbh daedric trickery and oakensoul with bloodspawn on a dk is a tooooon of fun. Ultimate ez mode. Especially on a nord. Literally ultimate machine
@steroitzz stats with these sets, 5medium 2 heavy. Plus bloodthirstyx3 it's extremely strong. You can use x3 weapon spell glyphs due to dk passives on ult. It's just strong. Very very strong. And I don't even use corrosive because most die to leaps anyway.
My build is extremely hard hitting in pvp I use swamp raider, plaguebreak, and stormfost and it’s crushes
Hi Malcom, if I using on dk rally, acuity, markyn, Bloodspawn it's good gear? Or swap anything? I looking you website but not understand what better for gear on dk for pvp, thanks for you answer
Hi there, those sets should work well for dk. Combining acuity with corrosive is a good way to make burst on dk, and rallying cry (or daedric trickery) will give you the defense you need for open world pvp.
@@MalcolM.Yes, I seen it's good damage, but hard gameplay for me, I newbie in pvp, thinking flex option, thanks for you answer
Till I saw the video i thought that crit isnt the best main option for pvp. Hetr are a few sets in your list that boost crit. So is crit worth it in pvp?
yes, many builds actively try to get good crit damage actually, especially nightblade and templar.
How do you think a bomber build would work for an Arcanist?
You can go with a brawler (convergence+ master 2h + plaguebreak) like any other class can, I haven't tried bombing on it yet though. It's perhaps interesting to use the stationary morph of tide kings gaze as it procs convergence
Does this video have all sets ?
What would be the best out of these for a stamwarden in no-cp?
Order's Wrath, Pariah and Shattered fate are the best sets for nocp right now. I would combine Pariah (double barred) and Shattered fate (frontbar).
Which sets do you think are the best for a healer?
Well we already discussed the support sets before, things like rallying cry, phoenix moth thurge, olorime/spc, transmutation ... With the mara's balm nerf you might want to look at another selfish set such as pariah (someone hinted you to that in my discord as well if I recall correctly) or you can just run an arcanist and then you should be safe running two support sets instead of a selfish set and a support set. As usual if you're in a very organised group it's probably better to avoid selfish sets alltogether on any class.
Would draugurkin be a good damage set for a magden?
If you run crushing shock with a poison enchant (or double dot poison) and the charged trait, it's always worth combining that with draugrkin no matter the class.
Where is Shacklebreaker??:(
Did you not include sets like crafty Alfiq because they’re class and build specific or because they’re not good
kind of both? I mean crafty alfiq for example is very class specific (only magsorc) but when you compare it to sets in general for other classes (rallying cry, wretched vitality, daedric trickery, dragon's appetite etc) it's also not stat dense at all.
in which tier would you put unleashed terror?
Probably in B tier when it comes to effectiveness if you have a right build with it. But it's very rarely used since you need a gapcloser, which limits it to sorc (streak) and templar (toppling) and some other nice setups.
I love parioh and cryodell Crest for tankieness in pvp and I like twice born with deadly strike OK. both sets of sets lol I don't use the meta and I still whoop in pvp
Mechanical Acuity can be cheesed/procced with Essence of gradual ravage health. And two points in snakeblood.
Why does everyone sleep on Ancient Dragonguard it definitely belongs somewhere on this list doublebarring it for a starter craftable set it’s a good set
Good list, crimson oath is another one that was missed, easy S tier for small scale.
@@MalcolM. yea it's a hidden gem set. basically back bar spriggans for your entire group that ignores LOS, height, and stealth, but can be purged.

Eternal Vigor 5 piece doesn't work in no cp cyrodiil.
Are you sure? I haven't used in nocp cyro myself (I usually go with amber plasm if I want a double bar sustain set), but this source mentions that eternal vigor works there: forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/580810/no-proc-no-cp-set-list/p1
@@MalcolM. yes I'm 100% sure it doesn't work. 4 pieces work, the 5th piece bonus sustain doesn't work.
Ravaged is about to sore in price. Bis back on a certain build
I dont understand what everyone sees in daedric trickery. Not being able to depend on what buffs youre getting is suicide. The health bonus is the only good thing about the set.
I’ve run DT a substantial amount on Stam DK. It’s probably my favorite back bar, as it is very strong, but mainly because it has a unique feel to it.
If you don’t know, the buffs stack, so you’ll always have 2 buffs and very briefly, 3 buffs (2-3 seconds).
Major protection carrying across both bars is a huge survival uptick.
Major heroism is one of the best buffs in PvP, let alone for DK. Having ultimate means more damage and more survivability.
Both of the healing buffs are huge. When they stack, healing is insanely strong.
And lastly, the expedition. It may look “meh” on paper, but in practice it’s probably my favorite buff. Having that speed consistently, makes everything feel very fluid.
All in all, DT is a great set in my option.
Shattered fate isn't S tier?
I was a bit on the fence on where to put this set. I mentioned it on A tier as it is a good set, just unsure if it held up to the impact that rallying cry or vitality have on a build for example. I suppose we could call it S tier for nocp cyro for sure if it would work there, but ZOS forgor 💀
I have a dumb silly cheap sorc set up, using knight slayer. Its op asf in pvp peoole just sleep on it.
Trickery more of an A tier
Love this, but would have preferred S tier first (nobody benefits from seeing these in reverse order).
I think there's value in showing B and A tier first too, because many people already know the sets in S tier as they are widely used. The more interesting ideas might come from the lower tiers.
Spinners/spriggans, war maiden, dagon, in B tier but briarheart and armor of truth in A tier. bad list
You need to hire someone to talk in your videos or at least add subtitles, I swear sometimes I heard "arqwweqwdoqhwdhsad" instead of actual words. Otherwise decent video
gotta love when someone thinks they know what sets out of 1000 possibilities are best lol - truth is that there is no best set there are only best set for you and your playstyle
An encouraging, yet incorrect take… There are meta sets that outperform lesser sets in shear numbers. If your play style is to have worse stats than your counterparts, than you may have a point.
@@NotoriousPJG only matters is ya a sweaty run v xaaaaaa lol while the rest of us run in groups and or a zerg and can run whatever we like and have fun doing it
@@MalcolM. keep trying cause ya know i am right - playstyle is king and a great player can wear any set in the game and work most fools
Im New in the game but u maybe forget Medusa Set ore what you guys think ?
Note: I did not add the chapters in this video with the funny names. Honestly I have no idea how they got there.
Erratum: I forgot to change the text at 28:30 for the Draugrkin set to mention it drops from Unhallowed Grave rather than being craftable. Next to that, Eternal Vigor does not work in nocp cyro (contradictory to the information provided here: forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/580810/no-proc-no-cp-set-list/p1 ). After disagreeing sources of feedback on whether Shattered Fate works in nocp, I went ahead and tested it on some npcs in Ravenwatch, and there Shattered Fate did apply (both in terms of tooltips and actual damage dealt)
“scavenging the mice” gave me a good chuckle. either way, very helpful video. thanks
