Azureblight + Plaguebreak is exactly what I use on my StamSorc for AoE fights, together with Pale Order Mythic you are unkillable and instances like Skyreach are easy, even on vet. Using this build for EP runs in Skyreach or similar farm spots.
This was fun, thanks! I'd been using Dark Convergence with Plaguebreak in PvP, but wondered how it would perform in PvE. This nails it-- I'm trying PB with Azure. (Using Plaguebreak with Vicious Death is pretty fun, too.) And thanks for the tip about PB and templar jabs!
A friend and i both loaded this set up and ran through skyreach catacombs. It is freakin nuts. Neither of us had the azureblight optimized with transmutes and it didn't matter.
azure really shines on templars since jabs are considered a damage over time, and can put multiple stacks on multiple targets. flurry works the same way only with single target. didn't realize the plague change at all, so prolly gonna try that out with a master 2h cleave spam set up XD
Not sure if you are still interested in the topic but jabs are not considered damage over time, it was changed around 2 years ago to be considered direct damage
On console what do you think to someone like a zen’s DK or a second DK using Bahseis on body and using one of these sets on jewellery and frontbar? I’m thinking in places like TTT runs where there’s a lot of trashpulls. Then swapping back out to kinras or zens for the boss fights.
yah that's what I was mostly doing in kynes. for a while running bahsei+z'en, but then doing bahsei+azureblight for trash. mixing in azureblight+plaguebreak a little too. but bahsei+plaguebreak on trash is great too. lots of good options
@@skinnycheeks yeah I’m thinking from a time perspective on console it would probably just be best to swap the one set. And zens on trash isn’t that great anyway plus zens DK is already set up with a crap load of dot skills.
Fantastic video. Personally I forego Balorgh's and use either a Master's maul or a Maelstrom Maul on front bar with Maelstrom Inferno on the back bar for my stam sorc. Hurricane + Soul Splitting + Suppression Field + Carve/Stampede + Caltrops + Wall. I never used Plaguebreak though, usually Venomous Smite or Deadwater Guile. Suppression Field isn't as cool now that the damage doesn't tik every 0.5 seconds though, so I often use elemental rage now instead.
Im guessing you probably havent had a chance to test this as a comparison, but any thoughts on Venomous Smite as a replacement for either of these sets?
With necro and its innate damage with the changes to its skills these two sets can and will dot up and blow up single targets super hard, it is more of a sutiational set but it can work decently on single target if you are dotting enemies up consistantly
As a stamplar who mainly runs VO and Deadly Strikes on trash packs. Would it be interesting to drop VO for Plaguebreaker? How big of a deal is that Minor Slayer? It feels like I can't drop major slayer though there is no aoe stamina trial set? Or like a set that does well overall. VO feels good cuz you get major expedition constantly. But are there any suggestions to replace it? I mean on bosses I always go Rele+Deadly. It's still my go to and gets me the best results singletarget.
Is there a reason your splitting the set like not wearing plaguebreak on all jewelry and weapon than the other set all on body? Does it make a difference?
@@skinnycheeks thanks, good to know! So in principle it should be possible to cause this set to proc on single target at least every 4 seconds (for my DK). Hmmm, sounds fun. Should be less damage than via meta sets but I don't like using meta sets anyway...
I've paired DC and Plague together before in cyro and soloing dungeons the combo is a fun one I can see why you're having fun pairing Plague with Azure sometimes the personal meta is just what makes you crack up the most as you mow down adds 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m just using venom hunter and Syvarra's Scales. Using 2h Maelstrom sword and dual wield swords of venom. Monster set depends but Skoria seems best for dk. All charged weapons. Werewolf on my dual wield and 2h ultimate is dawn breaker
Idk if you have the answer but I have to ask... what is the hard Pen cap for pvp ??? I've been asking for years and no one has given me a concrete answer.
There is no "hard" cap in pvp because it fluctuates with each individual players resistances that they decide to run.... if an enemy player only has 12k resistances, then any pen over 12k is entirely wasted.... but if you go fight a DIFFERENT enemy player, they might be more tanky with 30k resistances, and against that player you would want 30k pen. Resistances are hard-capped at 33k giving 50% damage mitigation but in pvp, some people will go even higher than that to counteract an enemy players pen values and still have ridiculously high mitigation. Example would be player A has 40k resistances and player B has 10k penetration- while player B is attacking player A, player A essentially has 30k resistances instead of 40k, which is still really close to the resistance cap. I don't pvp ever, but that's how I was taught it.
This I crazy I had my friend set up the same thing for me 3 or 4 months ago for me to parse with plaguebreak didn't think about grouping it with azure blight though 🤔
@@skinnycheeks It just reminded me immediately of PVP as I was discussing PVP builds with my guildmates for the upcoming event. I honestly didn't expect it to do that well in PvE.
You know that Azure blight set can be absolutely broken powerful even in just a couple of targets. But if everyone believes that it's only niche situations that's better for me because there won't be enough people running it to get it nerfed LOL there's a content creator who's been using that set for quite a while now and it does dirty things. I will drop one hint though oh, it's not about the gear, it's about the whole build down to the rotation the skills everything. You can hit better numbers in most situations with sets that people say are not meta as long as you've built it properly. Also worth mentioning that Elder Scrolls Online does not want us to all run around with the same thing on so if we keep doing that they will just keep nerfing things.
Mph if you can handle set swapping I don't see any reason not playing that for djs trashes and it may be good for "newer players" farming public djs solo on a budget as well on stam chars. Caltrops and bow aoe dots for big damage/chain reactions. However I'm not convinced that for solo/confort it is better than running a sustain trial set(like false god) + meta stuffs for infinite sustain and overall decent enough dps(something that kills boss ok and +- obliterate packs as well while requiring less buttons). Also Lair of Marselok, even if it is still a dj, is not the easiest dj and odds for you to get carried in public parties at CP 160 are slims on this one.
When I help friends or guildmates exp grind I will usually use DC and PB but I'll have to try azureblight with plaguebreak. Perfect setup for running someone through skyreach quickly
can one of those 2 sets help with a vSS HM prog? I‘m especially thinking about the ice dragon and the adds spawning during the flight phase. we have some troubles getting them down fast
Plague is nice for taking out trash mobs. Have tons of fun running plague and syva on my stamnecro. Probably not the best combo but this is just me bored.
Thanks for watching! Make sure to give me a follow on twitter to stay up to date on what I'm up to! twitter.com/skinnycheeks

Cool vid. I ran azure with thunderbug on an alt, never leveled up that quick from 1 - 50. The visual effects are just 10/10.
visuals are amazing
How did you get the sets at a low level?
I was normally using this when I solo play, I burst mobs so fast it is so much fun to play.
Hi, really like the concept and your videos. Question, what is the addon that is showing an arrow on enemies at 8:41 ?
Plagebreak is a set I have had my eye on for a while. Seems like it could make for a solid farming set.
definitely!
It's getting a nerf tho
@@newnamesameperson397 follow - wanna read the nerf
Plaguebreak in skyreach, there is nothing like it.
@@Vahndamme he's just making stuff up
what race and class where you in vka and wat was bak bar skill and front?? i realy liked how you showed it in action.
dark elf DK. I have the AoE skill bars on my website.
@@skinnycheeks i was aqulity already trying azugerber light an infalibalaither it worked realy good.
I love this combo, It isn' t for every contest but it's so terribile vs many targets..
I was farming Azure to pair it with Bahsei's, good to know it's worth it, I did some theorycrafting about that combo before
incoming Bahsei nerf tho :(
bahsei is still amazing
@@Zeorymer300 A friend of mine told me that in the morning :(
Imagine using both Azure and Plaguebreak together on a templar-- they'll reach max stacks so fast with jabs.
Candy was a beast in the clip. Glad you also checked it out.
yah he's a good dude too!
Ppl have been sleeping on azurebligth for ages, I love this set

Not sure if you are still interested in the topic but jabs are not considered damage over time, it was changed around 2 years ago to be considered direct damage
shooting star parses are how I get stacks for thrassians on the pts for testing. I never bothered with extra sets for it though

What skills would u set up using plaguebreak, dark convergence with oakensoul ring on a magplar? @skinnycheeks
Plaguebreak in skyreach runs is life changing.
Dark shade caverns 2 the large ad pull just before the final boss.. iv seen some really high numbers when running DC & PB
oooh that sounds fun
DC?? What set is that?
@@martyluterman965 dc= dark convergence… I likes it in combination with plague break and stamplar jabs… so much popcorn
just wondering what addon you use for your DPS meter? thanks.
combat metrics / hodor reflexes
Im guessing you probably havent had a chance to test this as a comparison, but any thoughts on Venomous Smite as a replacement for either of these sets?
In my GS prog we alredy use azureb, but Plaguebreak also seems to hit realy hard... so maby we will give it a try ( I like your Videos! Stay healthy!)
With necro and its innate damage with the changes to its skills these two sets can and will dot up and blow up single targets super hard, it is more of a sutiational set but it can work decently on single target if you are dotting enemies up consistantly
Been loving azure on my stamcro for a couple of patches. I'm going chuck plaguebreak in there too and give it a shot.

Hi! How can you get almost 18 k disease damage? my cp is 1035, I have not even 6 k! Is it skills?
Random question?
Would these sets be good on a werewolf dps? :)

What's the best combo set with Pestilent Host?
not sure I've never actually used that set
I've been using Azureblight for a while now and it's a blast (literally)!!!
Did you make yourself look like a tree lady?! That's amazing!
Azureblight and plaguebreak are my favorite sets ihave been using them since they came out and still nuke very hard.
I already use plaguebreak and balorgh for PvP, I should try them out for PvE next
Regarding Azureblight Reaper, what counts as "damage over time effect"? Is there a list somewhere? If there is I couldn't find it (
abilities that are damage over time abilities. the ones that scale with thaumaturge
@@skinnycheeks what about status effects?
@@skipperg4436 if they are dot status effects
@@skinnycheeks thanks, good to know!

Showed candy some love I see 👌🏾
Will this work on a Stam dk using 2h/bow?
Plague break is a must have set in pvp.
Wish there was a written build of PlagueBreak and dark convergence, I’m never sure which traits to use for PVE builds.
Do azure works on caltrops as with templar?
caltrops work yes, any damage over time effect
I've paired DC and Plague together before in cyro and soloing dungeons the combo is a fun one I can see why you're having fun pairing Plague with Azure sometimes the personal meta is just what makes you crack up the most as you mow down adds 🤣🤣🤣🤣
IE Mad Tinkerer's set from Clockwork City still one of the all time best animations in the game
I still do DC and Plague break for dungeons it's OP.
I've been using this for a while waiting for a youtuber to release it, but there is still so much missing, goodd luck solving the mystery!
huh
@@skinnycheeks yes
absolutely love plaguebreak
(I run it with vicious death because I'm an asshole like that)
I wonder if one of the sets and be exchanged for deadly strike with a mag necro or Templar?
templar sure. i wouldn't on magcro, too much dmg that doesn't get boosted
Seems this would work wonders with necromancer
yes, it does!
I’m just using venom hunter and Syvarra's Scales. Using 2h Maelstrom sword and dual wield swords of venom. Monster set depends but Skoria seems best for dk. All charged weapons. Werewolf on my dual wield and 2h ultimate is dawn breaker

Using PB on trashpulls now , its a best gold investment in a long time.
