    I run a Sorc. For newer players, the craftable "Law of Julianos" set. This set can literally carry you from lvl 1 to CP160. It's one of the better tier 2 gears before you get a tier 1 trail set. Law of Julianos paired with Mothers Sorrow carried me all the way to normal trails (raids). Just now starting to replace for my tier one trail set

    I use the Master's Perfected Greatsword in most Vet DLC dungeons with, ofcourse, Carve as spammable. You delete packs of enemies while your single target dps remains respectable. Even most bosses spawn ads, so the damage really adds up. All while having that lovely shield from Carve!

    A set that never gets mentioned that is quite ok to run is Gryphons Ferocity from summerset, not bis by any means but in mobile fights can help you keep up minor force without needing trap/channeled acceleration, the expedition is nice too.

    @alykace4501 Рік тому +6

    Regarding Bahsei's Mania, Coral Riptide and Ansuul's Torment. ZOS stated in v9.0.3 that "Bonuses that increase damage done to monsters do not currently work with proc based damage. This is not a bug and is default behavior since their introduction to the game, but we will be monitoring this and may re-evaluate this interaction." This means that Coral Riptide is vastly superior to Bahsei or Ansuul as procs do scale with weapon damage(Coral) whereas these sets(Bahsei/Ansuul) do not. This also means that Yandir is probably stronger than Ansuul as it does give you that increase in proc based damage as it is also a weapon damage related buff.
    Sidenote: Major/Minor Slayer do boost proc based damage and it also says to boost damage done. but in classic ZOS fashion, damage done is not the same as damage done.

    • @skinnycheeks
      @skinnycheeks  Рік тому +4

      Yep, you are exactly correct. Coral is definitely the strongest of the 3. The other 2 are still very solid though. And yeah I've brought up the slayer thing many times stating it is horribly inconsistent. They need to just make "damage done" mean "damage done" with no stipulations.

    Hey Skinny another great video. IDEA for new video explaining the different types of damage ie. bleed, burning, all the different status effects etc. I constantly hear content creators mentioning these as if one is better than the other like physical damage vs. ( insert type here) maybe you already did one I haven’t found but I can’t be the only one confused on this, regardless of the fact I’m confused most of the time. Thanks for all the hard work!

    • @skinnycheeks

      yeah usually poison, flame, and bleed are the top because they proc the DoT status effects. but the others can be good if you need their respective status effects as well. they are actually all listed in the help menu in the game and explain what they do, I don't think many people know that is there.

    I know this isn't a PVP tier list, but I just wanted to add that Heartland Conqueror is a great set for no-proc PVP, the ability to double a weapon trait is pretty powerful. Slap it on Charged or Sharpened offensively, or Defending or Powered defensively and you've got a really solid buff. Combined with the ability to be crafted in any weight and its just very very good.
    Run it with something like Amber Plasm for sustain, Pariah for Defense, (or Spinners/Spriggans for a more advanced glass-cannony build) depending on your playstyle, and you're good to go!

Right now for whatever reason I’m not seeing Selenes used much. I have a bow and a gank blade. I use Swamp Raiders with Scavenging Demise. It’s very deadly single target. Selenes, Red Mountain and Witch Knight on my DW nightblade. I can insta kill most targets under 32k hp. In PVP Dark Convergeance, Vicious Death ie OLD sets are still full force. Now Slayers is making a comeback 🤦‍♂️. Deadly is a one trick pony kinda like Balorgh very deadly if you actually land a channel attack that can be easily avoided.

    • @skipperg4436

      because you can get its damage bonus from the back bar. You cast wall of elements and that's it.
      Master's stuff bonus however last only 4 seconds thus if you back-bar it you would have to switch to back bar every 4 seconds which is not something that you want to do.

    Typing before watching:
    Just finished farming undaunted infiltrator and noble duelist set (full armor set plus full jewelry and lightning staff) all to realize i really dont like heavy attack build, its extremely powerful but it feels dumb to be relying on something other than the power i picked to play as.
    Its also kinda disappointing the major difference between lightning staff and two handed compared to other weapons, light and heavy attack should be viable on any weapon or at the very least the weaker weapons should restore more magicka/stamina.
    I hope to find an efficient build that is more power based by time arcanist comes as i am looking forward to being an arcanist.
    Is oakensoul worth having if you dont plan to do heavy attack build? Im new to the game but contemplating buying the high isle dlc just for the ring.
