5 Monster Sets YOU should farm for Magicka DPS in ESO (2020)

[@Adam_Lutz]

What monster sets do you like for Magicka DPS? Maw was actually nerfed too, you all. So just keep that in mind.

[@Rockenartist]

been recently really liking illambris. Good AoE in add pulls and still hits pretty hard.

[@Bdestiny933]

[@maximilian2843]

Maw of the infernal. It is really good, but it feels like leading a monster army into war when i use the other 2 pets too. Before i used Ilambris for a very long time. In addition to this the lightning effects are really good looking.

[@RobertDeLoneWolf]

@@Rockenartist always love Ilambris. It is like you open portal to summon falling stars. Not to mention when it procs at certain situation where it goes sideway. Very cool n.n

[@Thickoatmeal]

I tried heavy attacking the like button, but my eso crashed again

[@Adam_Lutz]

Dang!

[@SwingDancer61]

Try watching a video for another game and then come back.

[@Miss_Claire]

Illabris is so much fun to use as an everyday set.

[@Adam_Lutz]

I love it

[@MrCabledawg45]

Valkyn skoria is fun too. Nothing like a yoon hanging on yo life and trying to pop a heal then boom meteor to the head for 10k damage. Lol

[@RobertDeLoneWolf]

So beautiful too

Under 160cp will now go to your sticker book. Waiting to recreate it till your account is over 160 is efficient. But, you no longer are wasteful for farming below 160cp.

[@Adam_Lutz]

Wow, totally forgot about that. I guess for the most part though people are still going to wait till 160 since you need to do vet dungeons.

[@SirBanana1992]

I was hoarding one of each set and each weight for shoulders and helmets for months before they announced that update. You bet your ass when that update hit my collection book got filled out pretty nicely in the monster helm set department lol.

@@Adam_Lutz Don't forget the Golden Vendor! Got most of my Monster helms from there.

[@jordanparis964]

Although true, I still wouldn’t recommend farming them below CP160 as you will likely just be bringing the group down due to having poor DPS.

[@SwingDancer61]

I totally agree about tanks not liking Maw. The pet is constantly getting in my way so I can't see when the boss is about to hit me with an attack. Also makes it harder to keep aggro on the boss so more likely the boss will start attacking someone else in the group.

[@Deinareia]

I totally agree with this. It's so hard to his the boss with taunt when there is a daedroth blocking your path and view.

[@maximilian2843]

haven't thought about this aspect yet

[@sneezyfido]

For this very reason I have decided not to use Maw ever, no matter how good

[@Gersho.]

Hi Adam. Great video as always. One little wish for this or future materials - if you could add list of sets in the description (or links) so you can easily jump right to the desired one instead scrolling video back and forth :) Btw, any thoughts on Mother Ciannait or other recommendation for Solo Magicka Templar build?

[@Adam_Lutz]

Hey thanks for the feedback. I’ll do that for the next ones! And honestly I haven’t tried that set out! I’ll have to try it

[@kieranrobson7839]

Mother Ciannit is a brilliant set for solo MagPlar. My mate started using it a month ago and it completed his build. He dies far less often now

[@dix_neuf]

i think Zaan and Maw are both on #1, it depends on situation. I parsed higher with zaan by 4k consistently but I keep Maw on my inventory for those dungeons/trials that has the bosses where you shouldn't be too close to like Saint Olms in Asylum Sanctorium.

[@Zekvyrin]

If you are doing a vid for "5 Monster Sets YOU should farm", I was expecting 2 sets to be there: - Slimecraw, for when you don't have a healer providing that buff (e.g. 3dd +1t vet pledges), it outperforms everything else, and on vAS(++) it's also usable. - Iceheart, as it is helpful for a lot of people for soloing (vateshran & maelstrom), although maybe now with ring of the pale order, it's not so much. They are not better than zaan or maw, but I think they should be there. (I'd put slimecraw 3rd, iceheart 5th or honorable mention, leaving a slot for 4th and maybe 5th of your choice)

[@InsaneDire]

Love Grothdarr and Illambris.. never gets old.. Zaan and Maw annoys tf out of me..

[@Adam_Lutz]

Lol. It does to a lot of people haha

[@eldenmox5525]

As someone who just recently started the game and chose tanking for my first character I have to say the maw puckered by butthole every time for a while😂

[@susangass1487]

This was recommended to me I'm a come and go player but I come back this time and I'm lvl 402 magplar and thank you for this video. It might change in the future but for now iceheart will be the farm

[@zorowithabadassmustache]

Loved the video but how accurate is this information now 7 months later?

[@catastropic141]

I find that Nerien’eth is actually really solid with magicka templar. Since the sweeps attack is direct damage using that as your spammable procs the set very frequently.

[@michellepartridge8558]

Thank you! Great list, very helpful as always. I greatly appreciate all your hard work.

[@hardog8298]

In the new patch, Maw is not that great anymore since it no longer procs burning, in which the burning status effect is what makes maw so powerful because it can proc independently from other burning sources. So not only bad for the tank, it is also a waste of damage potential you could have gotten from other pieces like zaan, domihaus, and even grothdar (especially grothdar magDK). I also heard that even Ilambris outperform Maw in damage now.

[@Adam_Lutz]

Interesting. That’s good to know.

[@Adam_Lutz]

Thanks for the update

[@hardog8298]

@pokezee king-wolf it was in markarth patch I believe

[@fq3530]

As of this patch maw of the infernal is worse than zaan for single target damage due to burning proc fix and should only be used when you can’t be in range for zaan. My list for dungeons and trials would be: Iceheart, Slimecraw, Balorgh, Ilambris, and Zaan with 2 piece crit also being good where raw stats outperform the procs.

[@jonathanmartin9311]

I appreciate this video thank you man for posting it

[@amigazo3972]

Looking forward to seeing the best 5 for healers! :D

[@Adam_Lutz]

Thanks!

[@matthewlizotte8904]

Ilambris has always been my friend weather in a dungeon or Trial.

[@matthewlizotte8904]

I use it on my pet sorc witch runs Ilambris,Mad Tinker and mothers sorrow and the malstrum inferno staff.Its a apsolute power house but if u wanted to change up a bitt id toss out mother sorrow and replace it for STUHN'S witch gives more Penetration and more DPS

[@marcovchb]

Well, actually if you're under CP160 it doesn't matter that much now. With sticker book in fact is easier just to recreate the monster sets/gear with desired traits, than getting the gear with good traits and cp lvl don't matter

[@Adam_Lutz]

Yeah that’s true, I guess for the most part people will wait for 160 to run the vet dungeons

[@damian4748]

Personally I love Maw and valkyn skoria. ILamberis is nice but if you proc it and ads/trash move towards you or teammate u you lose the damage as it does not follow the target last time I tried it. Thanks for the video though:)

[@SirBanana1992]

idk what the picks are gonna be for tank but lately I had some fun with the Tremorscale set with its changes, giving it a unique phys resist debuff that I can stack on my other applied debuffs (from my pierce armor taunt namely)

[@Adam_Lutz]

Nice!

[@itsKroci]

I use 1 slime and 1 zaan for that extra crit 🤤

[@kimkcolden5270]

i just got helmet for maw, im sooo in love with this monster set!! 😆

[@CO-lg5kw]

You know as a new player who just started doing vets. I stuck heavily to the maw set. I was always pretty skeptical of the damage ilambras and zaan did but maybe I’ll have to give them a shot. Maw is nice but as mentioned I have gotten a few unhappy tanks especially when more than one person runs maw.

[@CPTxRAGE]

I hate when people use Maw , as a Tank it gets in my way and annoys me so much

[@ma3nni689]

Awesome explanation...thx. I keep grothdar on my magDK

[@DwarfmanGaming]

Dope stuff bro, keep it up

[@Adam_Lutz]

Thanks dude!

[@Velumbra]

Could you do a video covering all the summonable pets/minions? I'm talking about stuff like Shadowrend, the Sorcs scamp and the Wardens bear. Curious about putting a Pokemon Trainer kind of character together where the whole theme and gimmick is that you summon a bunch of random stuff then let them run wild.

[@Adam_Lutz]

That’s a solid idea!

[@brad10104]

Hey Adam, thanks for sharing this. I agree the Maw of the Infernal is hated by tanks, but it's so good! A question I have is what are your thoughts on the Shadowrend Monster set? I like the 1 piece bonus of more mag recovery, and while the clannfear does less damage to enemies, the 5% reduced damage seems nice. The biggest issue I have with it so far is that the proc requires that I take damage, which in PvE isn''t hard to do, in a dungeon with a tank who does his job at agro-ing everyone, it doesn't proc as much. Thoughts?

[@Adam_Lutz]

Yeah I would say if you aren’t playing solo it’s a harder set to proc you know?

[@avirtus]

A good tank never complains of Maw, here's why: 1. They are immune to most enemy's Cc, when the boss blast, aoe one hit, or do something, maw just continue to damage them. Which is good for its owners procs (like crit surge on sorc). 2. Maw's movements are calculated on server side, which means if the owner is a bit laggy, it wont affect maw's dps 3. Sometimes maws can take soft taunts from few untaunted mobs, reducing risks to dps/healers 4. Maws spawn point is on LA/HA point of contact, which means staves users will have the maw summoned next to the enemies, which is good for quick engaging enemies. A good tank doesn't rely on views for crowd control and targeting, I'm even using consoles with no cycle targeting.

[@RobertDeLoneWolf]

Only crappy tanks hate Maw and use Maw as scapegoat for their failure to taunt and drag mobs.

[@RobertDeLoneWolf]

Nerien'eth hits like a truck but it does not proc as often as it should despites the 3 secs cooldown. Sadly :(

[@mr_maki2109]

Thanks this was a big help

[@satyakiray8588]

Maw is so fun to use. The daedroth burns down mobs so fast

[@deckulus3815]

I noticed with this game, WoW probably FFXIV that magic is your go to for dps. Why does Melee not get same love? Just curious

[@Adam_Lutz]

I'm not sure honestly

[@deswill2737]

Iceheart is what I consider to be the best for PVP, its ez to activate and saves my ass constantly and works well with other sets that give boosts to ice damage

[@davidb3155]

How do you use it in pvp when no one specs for crit?

[@isionensor6685]

Do you prefer to drop a monster set or the effect of a 5 piece set to intergrate a mythic piece (eg Ring of the pale order) into a build?

[@senorsleepy2359]

So how strong should you be to do these dungeons you said 160 but that would be crazy

[@wellsul]

Very informative, I have maw on one server and iceheart on the other. Just one thing though, you mention 160cp on vet...you wont be doing vetdlcs at 160 cp that will be a long way off!

[@RobertDeLoneWolf]

160 cp vet for non-dlc. Therefore, they can get Ilambris, slimecraw and stuffs

[@danmystro]

He said 160cp is the max cp drop so no point doing vets before you at least reach that.

[@jrs3739]

Awesome vid!

[@Adam_Lutz]

Thank you

[@Trixterion]

I am not a tank, but nothing annoys me more then Maw, for some reason it blocks some skills and breaks my weaving, so I have to aim upward and as a result I miss hostile aoe. The circle of endless pain for me. I wish there was an addon that removes bodyblocking summoned shit so that if I'm clearly missing my skills I'll still be able to see at least something.

[@fabledgaming9023]

Since the nerf on Minor Berserk, Slimecraw performs quite a bit worse than these sets. From 8% to 5% which in reality only turns out to 3% cause of the way its calculated.

[@Adam_Lutz]

Lol nice

[@Oncewasgolden]

Umm, a constant 5% boost on ALL damage is better than any of these conditional damage sets. Slimecraw gives the 5% boost known as Minor Berserk.

[@shaflic]

Except that the 5% Minor Berserk is actually just about 3% increase in damage cause of the way it's calculated. These proc sets deliver 3-6% extra damage. I also used to equip Slimecraw, especially when minor berserk was still 8%, but it's quite a loss now compared to these sets so I replaced it.

[@derrickharney6750]

Do you need a team to get all these monster sets?

[@MickFist]

Helms are on veteran, so probably not soloable in the main. You could wait for it to appear with the Golden

[@You-Tube-FBI]

Ya, it's possible. If the undaunted give the quest for the right dungeon, it's easy to get into. If it's not one of the 3 u daunted veteran dungeon quests. You may be waiting for a while to get into the specific dungeon. It's possible to either find a group and do it or get in the queue. Lol, it's a pain. In the ass to queue up for a dungeon, that's not a given quest from the undaunted veteran dailies. If that makes sense
