Trying to build something around 5pc Bahraha set

Replies: 0

I really like the look of Bahraha’s 5pc bonus, especially since I never was able to make a build using the Leaching set (thanks insane RNG). So, I’m trying to figure out a fun yet powerful build around 5pc Bahraha for my Argonian magicka NB (thinking about PvP here, but might also consider PvE, especially tanking). The 5pc snare+damage+heal proc quite often, and seems like it would be fun for 1vX and group play for the CC and healing power. So here are some questions I pose to you all:

• 5pc Heavy or 5pc Light (with 1 each of the other armors)? Obviously Light has better stats for magicka build, but the idea of running 5 heavy is PvP has always been fun to me, and if DKs can do it, why can’t NBs?
• What other sets to use? Bahraha comes in all slots/traits so there is a lot of flexibility with what you can pair with it. Unfortunately, the 2, 3, and 4pc bonuses aren’t ideal, which means other set bonuses will have to make up for the sustain and weapon damage lost. 4pc Magnus or Seducer with 3pc Willpower? 4pc Elfbane with 3pc Alteration Mastery? 5pc Kagnerac with 2pc Torug or Monster set (Malubeth, Blood Spawn, Engine Guardian, and Kena could all be interesting)? It would be really cool to pair it with 5pc Storm Knight if it wasn’t capped at V12, or potentially Death’s Wind or Draugr’s Heritage if either of those sets’ knockdown effects could proc Bahraha.
• Abilities and playstyle: With Bahraha’s 5pc, the more attacks/hits you are landing, the more it will proc. So being in the thick of a lot of enemies and using Sap Essence seems like it would be key. I will have to do some testing to see if it will proc off Caltrops, Necrotic Orb, or other abilities (including DoTs) that can hit a lot of targets. The tooltip only says “Your damage abilities…”, and not ‘your direct damage abilities’ (what Siphoning Attacks says), so it could end up proccing off a lot of things. It’s also unclear if it can proc against damage shields; intuition tells me it wouldn’t but with the new changes in the update, it just might.
• What other pros/cons would working with this set have?

Very interested to hear what you all have to say about working with this set!
