Summoner Legendary SS (PVE)

[Raizou]

I have a few questions about the new PVE legendary SS from MSP:

 

• Was someone lucky to get at least one piece?
• Is it worth to farm them? Which stats (set bonus) they have?
• Heard from destro-side that they got trash, so what about ours?

 

Thx in advance.

3 Set: Thorn Strike/Vine Whip dmg increase 15%

8 Set: Flying Nettles/Briar Patch 100% more dmg

 

would say ours is good, also the 8 set, especially if the boss stands in it the whole time.

And what boss do you know that stands in one place? Exactly.

Best option is to use 3/5/7 Oblivion and 1/2/4/6/8 legendary.

 

Since then you get the 3 bonuses:

(3) Thorn strike damage +15%

(5) +10 AP, +15% Crit Damage, +HP

(3) 7% Crit Damage

 

While the 100% Briar patch damage looks nice, i rather have 7% more on each skill than 100% on a skill where the bosses barely stand still in one place. It works for stationary bosses but not ones that move.

Okay thank you guys for informing me :)

or you get both and switch, also how much flat dmg increase is 7% cdmg? something like 2%? 
So Briar Patch just have to do 2% or more of youre overall dmg. and the 8 set is stronger then oblivion+turtle

you crazy, 100% briar damage is huge dps increase.

I feel the 7% crit damage will do more damage overall. Guess try in game tests before deciding.

it will only be a huge dps increase if your target STAYS in the spot. And since roots dont keep bosses in place.....there goes your damage boost.

True but I find most bosses in this game do stay in one spot for 10-20 seconds then move somewhere else. Last boss in Citadel being the exception. Examples of bosses that stay in a spot for 10 seconds or more: Cold Storage, Heaven's Mandate, Tomb, Asura, Necro, Yeti, Frozen Fang, the Turtle, all SSP bosses, etc. Having a tank helps too.

What about the HP. What is the HP increase with the legendaries. My summoner has well over 80k in Hp and I would prefer to not lose that.

You know Zhakan? This Boss jumps alot. Briar Patch has 8% ov my overall dmg there. 7% Crit dmg will give you 1.5-2.3% overall dmg (depends on youre crit rate). So 8 Set Legendary would be stronger if briar Patch just would do 0.75%-1.15% dmg. 
Look at youre dps meter and see how much dmg youre Briar Patch will do and then decide, but dont forget that it only have to do 2% overall dmg to be much better then 7% crit dmg.
Also dont forget the additional crit you can get from legendary ss. That would mean 7% crit dmg is only worth around 1.0%-1.25% overall dmg.

I have only 5 legendary pieces and my hp is over 100k now. 1-5 pieces. I do have both legendary ring+necklace and stage 2 awaken pet. With full legendary your hp should be even higher,

8-set is BY FAR superior to a 5-3 split with Oblivion shields.
The stats follow the same distribution, with MSP shields simply having higher values and better set bonuses.
And combining the 8-set MSP with the upcoming blue badges from ToI will synergize fantastically.

8-set MSP is highly recommended for summoners. Few bosses move much at all, and even fewer move to the extent that it severely interrupt your nettles. The 7% Cdmg set bonus should under no circumstances deal more damage than your nettles, not even close.
the upcoming change in Korea making our nettles deal all it's dmg in 6 seconds instead of 10 seconds further removes this worry.

I have had a couple of dropped shields, farming 1-6 and 5-6 alot with my clan. the latter stages hold considerable rewards for the time invested compared to the earlier stages. Making a group for stage 1-5 or 1-6 is highly recommended over 1-4. Farming will be less efficient after this week because the event containing the "moonlit boxes (level X") will be removed, as well as the golden seeds for a free gem or primers.
