10. Spell Power Cure

The Spell Power Cure set is a great option for anyone that is wanting to play a healing warden. It is part of one of the stronger builds out there for healers. This set offers a huge increase to Maximum Magicka and in addition to that if you overheal you or an ally you give the target the Major Courage buff, which will increase their weapon and spell damage by 430. This set would benefit players who love to heal and have a boost in Magicka and spell power which puts out a good amount of DPS or heals in any situation. Staying alive in an Arena setting is always fun and exciting.

Get This Set If... 
  • You want to be a healer 
  • You want to play a support role
  • You want to make a great Healing build
  • You want a light armor set
  • You like to focus on Dungeons, Arenas, and Trials

9. Clever Alchemist

The Clever Alchemist set is a great build for Stamina Necromancer PVP builds. If you love playing a class that gives you a bonus when drinking a potion during combat giving you a rush of energy, increasing your Weapon and Spell Damage by 675 for 20 seconds. This would be exciting and fun gameplay to try out.. It helps a lot with burst increases in damage and with the overall mobility of the character. The added bonus is that if you drink a potion during combat you not only get a rush of energy but your spell and weapons damage will increase for 20 seconds by 675. This makes it one of the stronger contenders for any PVP Stamina Necromancer set.

Get This Set If... 
  • You want to play PVP
  • You want to play a Stamina Necromancer
  • Want to create a Heavy 2 handed Dual Wield Build
  • Want to have a strong defense

8. Necropotence

The Necropotence set is a great set for Magicka Necromancers. The set has a bonus that if your pet is active your Max Magicka is increased by 3132. The set itself provides a large boost in maximum Magicka. One of the big downsides to this set is that is it you have to spend the time farming it in the Rivenspire. Summoning skeletons and many more dependens on which one you enjoy the most. Being able to have that true necromancer feeling of summoning the dark arts.

Get This Set If...

Caluurion’s legacy is the best set to get if you are wanting to play a vampire Necromancer. It has a lot of strong benefits such as a large increase in damage and critical chance.
