QUICK QUESTION

[LazyPlanet]

Well I want your opinion about some combinations.
1) mother sorrow + julianos
2) mother sorrow + spell strategist
3) mother sorrow + medusa
Also all of the gear would be golden + a monster set. I use the Mother sorrow + war maiden, which ain't bad in my opinion, but I'd like a change. What do you think ?

[siransan]

Well, these are all solid choices. Julianos would be the easiest as you can just make it.
Personally in the last weeks I liked sets with a little extra effect. Like: Mad Tinkerer or Overwhelming Surge.
But it totally depends on your playstyle.

Depends on your build
If you're looking for the highest effective spell damage, check on ESO build editor
Additionally you can consider Mantle of siroria or False God

[Ze]

Also, regarding war maiden: "Magic damage" is anything that cause damage and use Magicka and that is non-Elemental. So basically all class skills using Magicka that are not Fire, Shock or Frost."
So it is not necessarily good, you need to give more info about your class and build

next week drops U30 and blackwood - so changes - for end game every mag toon will be runing MS+medusa+iceheart(1pc)+zaan(1pc or slimecraw or something with crit)*, not much changes in overland and in pvp mag toons... hm... will be extinct...

mad tinkerer is good SOLO set, on group content it makes tank's work harder...

Edit: * if zos suddenly don't decide to nerf critical on launch...

Idk all of them are kinda good for me, but the strategist might be really good since I play a magblade and I use single target abilities mostly, except the sap essence. Also it might work nicely with the blood for blood.

Well as I said, it depends on how you play. Consider Solo/Group, but not everyone has to run the same thing, it might not work for everyone.

I'm not good with Vamps, I'd say just try them and see for yourself. Maybe check Hack the Minotaur, he has a couple of vamp buils, maybe he has a nice idea for you.
And, yeah, fair point, maybe wait until the update before making changes.

MS + Siroria in fights that allow you to stand for a while (also 90% of all trial bosses)
MS + Medusa for overland content and pub group content.

with medusa i lose as necromancer 10-12% dps compared to siroria

LoJ is in my opinion just a start set when you just got 160 and spell strategist is a waste of farming time that can be rather put into medusa/siroria.

really that setup? i would think 5 pieces mother sorrow, 5 pieces medusa/siroria, 1 part of a crit monster set and the new mythic (6% crit chance 10% crit damage)

Thx for your post, I actually got the strategist and a friend needed help with a few bosses, so i had a good test run and I can say it is very effective, even with the sacrifice of some crit. To be honest I don't care to have the most dps or generally to have the most super-cool-awesome meta build etc, I usually run sth that is decent and fun to play. Besides my cp are high and I have most of the bonuses that I need.
