- This set has Weapons of every type
- Due to the Magicka Templar and Magicka Dragon Knight's reliance on class abilities and frequency of melee-range encounters, this set is particularly valuable in PvP for them.
- As the effect is an AoE, the Ancient Knowledge passive in the Destruction Staff tree buffs the 5-set ability's damage output by 4%/8%.

Really doesn’t keep up with the current patch cost increases it needs its mag return doubled if not tripled as even in a outnumbered fight it just can’t keep up with the cost of skills now, plus the damage needs to be static higher number and not change when bar swapping

Ran this dungeon 50 times in row and never got even one ring, shield, chest, or leg. Done with ESO. Already hate Bethesda anyway. Uninstalled.

This may be a stupid question, but can you proc more than one instance of this at a time, or does it just refresh the duration if you proc it again before it runs out? Because this set might be pretty neat if you can have multiple procs hitting people at once. If not, then it's only meh...

Quick question: Does it proc on all class abilities? Like for a NB, would it proc with Shadow Cloak?
