1. Kjalnar’s Nightmare

Kjalnar’s Nightmare is a powerful DPS Monster Set for both Stamina and Magicka based Builds! It boosts damage and deals Magic damage reliably when you Light Attack your enemies. The Set requires good Light Attack Weaving to use it effectively, so this might be a problem for newer players.

The Head drops in Veteran Unhallowed Grave Dungeon and you can get the Shoulders piece from Urgarlag Chief-Bane. The Harrowstorm DLC is necessary to complete the set.

2. Zaan

Zaan is a powerful fire damage based set. It can boost Critical Chance, which makes it good for both Stamina based and Magicka based Builds. Its special effect deals massive fire damage when you deal critical damage with Light or Heavy Attacks. Better to use with Magicka Builds and especially fire damage based Builds. However it can assist Hybrid or Stamina Builds as well.

The Head drops in Veteran Scalecaller Peak Dungeon and you can get the Shoulders piece from Urgarlag Chief-Bane. The Dragon Bones DLC is necessary to complete the set.

3. Stormfist

Stormfist is a strong and reliable DPS Set for Stamina based mostly builds. It boosts Stamina recovery and deals shock and physical damage to enemies! The set applies its effect with melee and ranged attacks which makes it quite flexible. Since it deals shock damage, Stormfist can be a good option for specific shock damage based, magicka Builds as well.
