Thanks for watching! As mentioned in the video I'll be doing a big👑50k crowns👑giveaway once we hit 50k subscribers on the channel, so if you haven't already and want to help support that by subbing to the channel, it would mean a lot! 🙏

[@andrewrayleigh9089]

Thanks for the video. Will you be updating the guides on your website once the new patch drops? I reckon that it would be easier than cranking out these videos for each class or role. I'm curious to see how much the builds will change with the new hybridization changes of the new patch.

[@skinnycheeks]

@@andrewrayleigh9089 yeah I won’t have it 100% complete but about to start flipping over to the ascending tide stuff on the website here in just a bit

[@andrewrayleigh9089]

@@skinnycheeks Thank you for your hard work! I really enjoy your theory crafting.

[@OGSILY15]

Dude just made my trail runs so much better

[@chrischecketts2464]

The fact that Mother's sorrow is the first set I ever put together on my first character, and it's still one of the best sets in the game, is the number one reason I still play ESO when other games have burned me by taking away gear that I grinded for by making it obsolete.

[@skinnycheeks]

it's pretty great. people always whine about gear in ESO, but compared to other MMOs the stuff lasts SO much longer

[@THBronx]

I just wanna say thanks, man! I`m coming back to ESO and I`m totally lost. Your vids are helping a ton to catch things up!

[@skinnycheeks]

glad it helped!

[@elite6642]

no kidding, i love his channel. i always watch his content after taking long breaks from the game. for the PVE side of things that is.

[@briankingham175]

Very helpful video even after years of playing, especially under the Briarheart section (took multiple screenshots for quick access to calculations). Keep up the great work!

[@skinnycheeks]

glad some of it was helpful! thanks!

[@philhearn4240]

I have loved briarheart for quite awhile on stamsorc and now that the heals can crit it rivals crit surge if you use several aoe dots. I think overwhelming surge is also a great multi-purpose damage set for melee mag set ups like magplar. Not the easiest to farm because of the length of the dungeon though but I believe it’s on par with farming leviathan. Love these gear list videos you put out.

[@Narniak69]

Briarheart is my favorite! Possibly the most versatile set in the entire game. For Overwhelming Surge, how high does the 5-piece bonus damage scale? It only reads 149 shock damage on the tooltip on the UESP site.

[@philhearn4240]

Unbuffed on my magplar it’s around 880 I believe. I ran that with deadly strike and got it up to over 1400. It makes sustaining on 4 or 5 medium pieces a breeze for solo or random 4 man groups where synergies aren’t coming your way that often.

[@Narniak69]

@@philhearn4240 OK thanks for info, will check out that set!

[@murderycatdoll1380]

Thanks for pointing out that Skill is so much more important dir every Content than just the Sets! So many people are in that mindset (or got in there because of bad groups only allow Meta even in normal Vet Content....) they can only Play good because and with this Sets. 💕

[@skinnycheeks]

no prob! it is worth a reminder every now and then!

[@mborowski2010]

Thank you for this. It's like read my mind. I was researching this for the past 2 days. My inventory is full of sets and I dont know what to keep or sell.

[@martyluterman965]

I have no room ANYWHERE! 7 characters one of them just for holding gear, over half a dozen houses with the storage chests purchased from the crown store and lastly a completely maxed out bank!! No clue what to keep and what to get rid of!!??

[@brandonmckinnon836]

great vid👍. As always very useful info

[@skinnycheeks]

thanks!

[@dexterdexter7923]

Deadly Strike and Mother's Sorrow is the "easiest" set combo for what dps it can do, on magplar. Grab Nerieth monster set and you don't need to worry about anything and will perform great in any content. side note: that :"... and my wonderful wife." at the end always cracks a smile on me, so cute Cheers

[@animesoul167]

Hello Skinny Cheeks, this is the first of your videos that I've watched. And I just wanted to say that it was very helpful, thank you for that. And also, I was entertained by the dancing man at the end. XD

[@skinnycheeks]

Haha awesome. Thanks for stopping in. Glad it was helpful

[@Narniak69]

During the recent PvP event I was taking my StamBlade Vamp into PvE with the Stygian set and did surprisingly well. Pretty easy to get Overland set from Coldharbour. Stygian + Stage 2 Vamp passive = 669 weapon damage with very good uptime. Hitting Shadowy Disguise every 6+ seconds is a pain, but it breaks LoS, gives a guaranteed crit strike, and keeps Major Resolve up from Shadow Barrier passive.

[@skinnycheeks]

yah I could see that being an interesting off-meta kind of playstyle

[@satyakiray8588]

great video as always. Funny thing, even after having access to trial sets like bahsei, siroria and false gods, I still prefer running war-maiden+deadly strike on my magplar for most content as the trial sets all have some weird condition to get their full benefit . If you are unfamiliar with mechanics, these set and forget sets are the best.

[@bthrawn]

I like heartland for solo play as well since the bonus can also help out with healing providing +9% to your heals. I run a Senche-raht powered resto staff on the back bar for +22% healing with deadly weapons front bar.

[@foxdye4296]

My first made toon is hybrid. I had no idea what to do and just winged it. It's my favorite out of the other eight. Deadlands Assassin 5/5 and Plaguebreak 5/5. I run the mage, disease dot and the healing hot tethers, along with guardian spirit and deaden pain on my back bar, with sword and shield, that's Plaguebreak. I run stampede, execute, blighted blast bones, venom skull and resolving vigor, that's Deadlands Assassin.

[@Narniak69]

Swamp Raider is a strong niche set for Stamina NBs if you fully commit to a poison/disease bow build. Super easy to farm Overland set from Shadowfen. Point-Blank Snipe Vateshran's bow pairs well with it because you are forced into melee range anyway for Killer's Blade execute. Maelstrom 2H or bow for back bar DoTs. Swamp Raider combined with Leviathan (or Tzogvin's) for your 7 body pieces and 3 jewelry, mix and match as needed.

[@xXOni_KenshinXx]

Would Swamp Raider also good for StamDk?

[@Narniak69]

@@xXOni_KenshinXx It works if most of your damage abilities are poison / disease based. StamBlade front bar I can load up 2-3 bow skills + 2-3 class skills that are all getting buffed. If StamDK has a bunch of poison/disease skills then it might work.

[@xXOni_KenshinXx]

StamDk has 2 Poison Skils +Archer Skills

[@BBRocker75]

Unfathomable Darkness Rules! I love that set.

[@clash505]

So many set to chose from!

[@BryanBrown69]

Excellent video!!!!

[@skinnycheeks]

Thank you!

[@BryanBrown69]

@@skinnycheeks I watched this like 4 times and learned something each time! This helps new players like myself plan for the here and now and also the higher levels. I do have a learning curve on Guild merchants…..are they in different zones meaning do I have to check each one or is there a hub (like WOW) where it’s more centralized?

[@CJR-wv8kc]

I never knew about the frostbite set before, my mag warden is using a combination of hexos ward and orders wrath, i like having the shield for solo play but i dont think i could replace orders wrath either as the 4 and 5 piece bonus on it i would lose a ton of crit damage or does the frost specific stuff make up for it

[@elite6642]

the outro in the background was giving me some serious "Brodual" vibes. its a channel that covered skyrim mods and would have their character do that dance at the end to some crazy music. thanks for the vid, ive just switched to PC NA from xbox and i was kind of piecing together my plan for my first character im gonna be leveling. I love both pvp and pve so i decided on a stamden. Gonna try to get plague break since it will be nice for both pvp and pve. throw clever alchemist on the back bar for pvp, and maybe leviathan for pve. For more single target PVE content would you say leviathan and New moon would be just fine for a while?

[@skinnycheeks]

yah that would be a find combo for sure! never heard of that channel but i'll have to check it out

[@jedtattum9996]

for nma if you are dual wield there is a passive that mitigates the 5% extra cost also in one of the cp trees another mitigation. i run nma on a stamplar and intend to keep it.

[@elite6642]

how does dual wield mitigate the cost? if i remember correctly doesnt the passive decrease "dual wield" abilities cost, not all abilities

[@bendoveriii8183]

So is pairing two crit sets good idea? For example pairing advancing yokeda with sul xan.

[@fabiancorrales226]

What is a good set to pair with leviathan on a stam dk?

[@UncleDaniel]

what purple aura effect that is showing up on his legs Are there other visual effect like that? sorry to ask 11:23 what motif are you using? looks so good. thank you for the amazing content

[@skinnycheeks]

Chudan I think is the glow you are talking about. The motifs are in the description. Thanks!

[@jeremieboisvert6603]

What’s the best dps magicka set to farm in Telvanni?

[@user-gz9sg7ro1j]

👍 tyvm ^-^

[@JimmySilvers]

Treasure Hunter is pretty good as well. Dungeon set though.

[@sumdude611]

I am new to the game and had a question. Is the lightning staff heavy attack count as a channel and if so, with a deadly strike set, then buff that ability.

[@skinnycheeks]

it buffs all but the final tick. the final tick is considered direct dmg and is not boosted by it

[@timmusto7614]

No mention of Defiler at all. Great crit stats and procs an awesome beast that spews and stuns? The wife and I use this with the daedric monster set, our two bears and our companions, it's a circus.

[@skinnycheeks]

I have it on one of my pet stam sorc builds. Pretty fun!

[@kelvinsbowties]

Surprised you didn’t mention diamonds victory which is a pretty solid set that’s craftable

[@skinnycheeks]

guess I just don't ever find myself using it anymore, didn't even think about it

[@parash8097]

Crazy how diamonds victory has fallen off :o , love the video ! Would you still recommend DV?

[@skinnycheeks]

Thanks. I’ll admit I did overlook it a bit. I think it can still be okay on some setups. I just don’t really have any that I use it on.

[@parash8097]

@@skinnycheeks thank you !

[@Vahndamme]

This actually got me wondering, to use deadly strikes on the body and berserking warrior on weapons/jewelry. I wonder if 10%+ crit would outweigh the 5% dmg bonus from minor slayer. I find myself in so many cases that Relequen's can't be kept up because of multiple targets. The constant ramping up is not good, whereas berserking warrior is a buff on yourself so you're able to keep it up eventhough you swap targets. Though the backbar rotation has to be swift in order for it to not fall of. If there's issues with that, I guess I can always resort to Leviathan and just be at full throttle all time. Regardless of buffs. Then it would be leviathan on body and deadly strikes on weapons/jewelry. Hmmm wonder wonder..

[@skinnycheeks]

Deadly + AY is a great combo when rele can’t be kept up well

[@steelernation4818]

But dropping rele means you lose minor slayer in dungeons, trials, and arenas.

[@Vahndamme]

@@steelernation4818 yeah but tbh I feel like people give it too much credit at times. Like if you can't keep up relequen stacks on a boss but you can keep up AY stacks on yourself. It's definitely worth going AY I feel like. Regardless of minor slayer

[@ReasonableRadio]

Surprising that diamond's victory didn't make the cut here. I've been using it with Master's destro for a low-cost solo build and it's been performing great on templar, seemingly better than deadly strike which I was initially using for the setup.

[@skinnycheeks]

Makes sense. That doesn’t sound like a good build for deadly strike since shock clench isn’t boosted by it.

[@ReasonableRadio]

@@skinnycheeks Yeah it's basically either deadly strike or master's lightning, and master's lightning and diamonds have a nice synergy, still I remember when DV was meta like 3mo ago so I'm just surprised that it didn't make #10

[@ziggystardust1973]

Have pve builds ever used Clever Alchemist for short fights, or do the 2 health bonuses kill it? It gives 804 wd/sd for 20 seconds (129 4 piece bonus included)

[@skinnycheeks]

it is okay, but when you factor in the 2 health lines it is less stats overall than something like briarheart or burning spellweave

[@ziggystardust1973]

@@skinnycheeks Makes sense, I guess in pvp those two health lines are actually useful

[@skinnycheeks]

@@ziggystardust1973 yep, for sure

[@deb8tor447]

If you are setting up an EC/Brittle MagDen, do you think Frostbite could out perform Bahsei’s or do we think Bahsei’s will still be the highest DPS out put in a significant way?

[@skinnycheeks]

Bahsei is stronger if you can manage below about 50% mag consistently. But it doesn’t blow frostbite away or anything

[@deb8tor447]

@@skinnycheeks would you say Frostbite is a close second for that build?

I made am icy conjurer set for my stam ice warden dps niche build but it didn't seem to proc off of my fletcher flies (minor vulnerability) does anyone know if this set is bugged or? (I tried shadow rend monster set for minor maim too) which didn't seem to proc it....

[@skinnycheeks]

Weird. It should def proc off the flies. That sounds bugged to me.

@@skinnycheeks I did some test dummy fights its proving off of flies but theres no animation and the enemy damage tick doesn't pop up either... but it comes of on my cmx spread sheet... so weird

@@HeresGrey hmm that is weird. Maybe cause the dummy already has minor vuln on it so it is acting strange?

Rattle cage is underrated

[@eyebotede]

Exactly! I was helping out a friend yesterday by logging into their account to beat Vvh for them. I have never played on a Templar before and I almost got spirit slayer on the first try. On top of that…I got to the end and realized that I had accidentally only equipped one five piece set plus pale order. So you don’t even need two sets to complete Vvh lol!

[@JK-pp2xl]

People tell Mag dps to always get Mother's Sorrow. Why is Leviathan not recommended in the same way(I know this video doesn't mention dungeon sets)?

[@thrcnbonly1725]

Leviathan is great and easy to get, but plenty other stam based sets give a lot more crit chance.

[@felixthefearless1886]

I know it’s hard to get them all included, but still surprising that you completely overlooked diamonds victory on magden. Literally hits within 1-2% of kinras, and it is craftable. If you mentioned it and I missed it, my bad.

[@Narniak69]

I was running DV on my StamBlade for a while and it was decent, but inconsistent. Dark Shade is supposed to proc both ranged and melee bonuses, yet the stupid Shade never seems to proc either for me. Meanwhile, Acid Spray 20m ranged bow attack somehow procs ranged bonus. Not sure if that was a bug or as intended, perhaps patched since I last used DV.

[@felixthefearless1886]

@@Narniak69 I’m not sure. I do know they nerfed DV, but even now, solely on warden, it still hits almost as hard as Kinras.

[@skinnycheeks]

yah didn't really think about that set cause I haven't used it in a hot minute. I guess if you have the proper skill setup and rotation to make use of it still, it is pretty solid.
