As aHeavy armor setinThe Elder Scrolls Online, the Kynmarcher’s Cruelty set is oriented around Tanks and characters who don’t mind taking damage for others. Its full set bonus is one of the most interesting in the game as itrandomly debuffs enemiesaround the player – in a sense, it’s the closest an armor set has come to just being anew version of Sheogorath’s Wabbajack.
The Kynmarcher’s Cruelty Set Bonuses
The Kynmarcher’s Cruelty set gives well-rounded stat bonuses to Tanks and heavy bruisers, though it doesn’t hone in on one particular stat boost. It adds1206 Max Healthat two items equipped,129 Stamina recoveryat three items equipped, and1487 Armorat four pieces. The full set bonus is a little less simplistic, though.
When the player dealsDirect Damage (not AoE)to an opponent, one of five random debuffs are applied to all enemies within eight meters. The effect chooses from Major Breach, Major Cowardice, Major Defile, Major Maim, and Major Vulnerability and lasts for 18 seconds.Because this effect can procevery eight seconds, it’s a near-guaranteed way tohave two Major debuffs on surrounding enemiesat all times as they can overlap. However, this only affects enemies within eight meters at all times, and if the player or the enemy moves away the debuff goes away.
Acquiring The Kynmarcher’s Cruelty Set
The Kynmarcher’s Cruelty set is an Overworld set in the Deadlands DLC forThe Elder Scrolls Online, and can’t be crafted at a specialty crafting station in the new zone or acquired through scrying like the three new Mythics. To find pieces to this set, players must take onDelves,World Bosses, Public Dungeons(theAtoll of Immolation), and other public content in the Deadlands.
It’s best toget to max level (and CP 160)before hunting down this set so that its bonuses are maxed out.The Elder Scrolls Onlinecaps armor at Level 50 and Champion Point Level 160, so as long as you’re at 160 (or above) you should get the best possible pieces to the Kynmarcher’s Cruelty armor set in the Deadlands.
