I’m currently working on my magicka necromancer DPS build and have been using both Mother’s Sorrow and Julianos sets. I’m considering upgrading to the Pillar of Nirn but I’m unsure which one of my current sets I should swap out. I haven’t begun trials yet, but I plan to pair the Pillar of Nirn with the Whorl of Depths set later. Should I wait until I get my trial set before making any changes?

Using all Mother’s Sorrow gear, including your jewelry and weapon, can be limiting since you won’t get benefits beyond five pieces. It’s usually better to mix sets to maximize your bonuses, and maybe even add a monster set into the mix. Check out some YouTube guides for optimal setups and gear farming! :)
And don’t forget to focus on your five-piece set bonuses! It’s key to have one strong setup with the right synergy.
I’ve been enjoying Medusa and Mad Tinkerer lately; they really proc a lot, especially with companion DPS. Might be worth checking out!
Quick question: does back bar gear contribute to stats just by being there, or do you need to switch bars for it to count? Thanks for the info everyone!
Stats from back bar gear only apply when that bar is active, so you need to switch back and forth to get the benefits.
Exactly! You should aim for two different five-piece sets and either a monster set or mythic gear. That balance will definitely give you better performance.
