WWe are pleased to present another segment, where we will dive deep into one Elder Scrolls Online’s many SetsExplore the different types of Builds you can make. Not only will we show you how to get the most from these Sets but we’ll explain where to get them, what requirements there are to obtain them (if any), everything else you could possibly want to know about them. This week’s Set should see a some niche play in Cyrodiil, Battlegrounds and DungeonsAlso: Jailer’s Tenacity

No matter what level or quality, the 2,4, or 5 piece bonus never changes.

An Introduction to Jailer’s Tenacity

The Set was also added to the game. Update 19 WolfhunterThis was launched August 2018 by. These Updates brought the biggest changes. Werewolvesand the nerfing Snaring or Defiling effects, which makes this Set even more powerful. Jailer’s Tenacity can be obtained by running the 4-man Dungeon Moon Hunter KeepThis Set requires Wolfhunter DLC and can only be purchased from Wolfhunter. This is the StyleThis Set includes Silver DawnThis information will become available in Update 20. MotifsThese are added to the Moon Hunter drop pool.

Since this is a Dungeon Set, you can get Weapons, Shields, Armor and Jewelry, but the Armor will always come in Heavy. You can also get Weapons, Shields and Jewelry from this Dungeon Set. However, the Armor will always come in Heavy. Traits on this Armor are random, so you may have to farm several times in order to get the ones that you need, but the Jewelry for this Set comes with the Healthy TraitYou can use it. You can also use TransmutationChange Traits, but only if you want. SummersetExpand if you are looking to Transmute Jewelry.

Jailer’s Tenacity grants you Major VitalityIf struck for 7000You can also increase your damage. This Set’s 2,4 and 5, piece bonuses do not change regardless of how the items are made. It is almost worthless to upgrade it to Legendary, unless you want to improve your Traits. You can save materials by leaving Epic at Epic, but use the items for something more beneficial. However, you can prolong the duration up to 8.4 seconds by equipping your weapon. Jorvuld’s Guidance Set

How the buff appears on your character sheets

Healing done, Healing received and Healing taken

Jailer’s Tenacity increases survivability by increasing the amount of Healing Received you take. While this is only one aspect of total healing, there are many others. Healing Done and Healing Taken (which is also present on the Set). There isn’t a lot of information out there on how this all works, so I’ll note it here for convenience. The formula to figure out how much healing you will get is as follows. Note that Healing DoneHealing Taken and Healing Received all affect the healing of Potions as well.

Healing = Skill Value * Healing Done * Healing Taken * Healing Received

This formula allows us to calculate just how much healing a Skill can do based on a number of factors. Since tooltips reflect the changes of Healing Done already, you can take the Tooltip * Healing Taken * Healing Received to get the actual number the Skill will do. You can use this formula to theory craft just exactly how much healing you can get from Skills this way. Let’s do an example:

  • Let’s say you want to calculate how much healing Breath of Life would heal you with a tooltip value of 7703. Let’s say your Healing Done is 25%, your Healing Taken is 16% (from Jailer’s Tenacity Rapid Mending) and your Healing Received is +30%, since you were hit for a quarter of your Health in one attack. You would take 7703 * 1.16 * 1.30 and you would get 11616. You do not need to factor in Do You Need Healing? here as the game already does that for you on the tooltip.

Because of the way this calculation is done, if you are wearing 5 Heavy Armor pieces of this Set when you trigger Major Vitality, you will essentially gain +50% healing from all sources for 6 seconds, which is significant.

Any points placed into Blessed will be reflected in the tooltip of any Skill that heals.

What You Need to Know About Jailer’s Tenacity

How Jailer’s Tenacity works is: whenever you take 700 damage damage in a single attack you gain Major Vitality for 6 seconds. In order for this Set to trigger Major Vitality you must take 7000 damage directly to your Health. Even if you take what would have been 7000 damage of your Health to your Damage Shield, for example, it will not trigger the effect.

testing

You can see from the GIF that you don’t trigger the Major Vitality with a Damage Shield present, unless you take 25% to your direct Health.

One really important factor in making this Set useful is that it does not have a cooldown can you can refresh the 6 seconds of Major Vitality while you already have it active. This makes it extremely useful for situations where you are getting struck hard and fast, because you will be able to heal for much more until the pressure has subsided. This usually occurs in PvP scenarios, Dungeons or Trials (if you’re the tank), making this Set useful to a range of different players.

Notes for PvE Players

This Set is really only useful for the Tank role because the bonuses are Health, Healing Taken and Healing received. While most Tanks usually shy away from these type of bonuses in favor of flashier ones, the 5 piece is extremely strong, and may prevent you from dying against certain encounters where you are taking a lot of damage while getting hit by a boss. When you factor in the Do You Need Healing? your healer will have on top of your Major Vitality, it should be extremely easy for your healer to keep you alive, assuming you don’t get one-shotted.

Because you will benefit a lot from healing, it is advised that you take a second Set that provides some. Bahraha’s Curse and Leeching Plate are both solid choices here as they provide a lot of healing, and Livewire is also not a bad third option either.

sets

Two excellent Sets that take advantage of the increased healing of Jailer’s Tenacity.

If you’re playing a Stamina Tank consider using Sentinel of Rkugamz for the HoT and Stamina return, or Swarm Mothers to help group enemies together from more effective healing from one of the above Sets. If you’re playing a Magicka Tank consider using Chokethorn or Nightflame for the extra healing.

Notes for PvP Players

Because you get hit for 25% of your Max Health often in PvP, which can often lead to your death due to lag or poor timing, Jailer’s Tenacity can help keep you alive when you should be dead. Imagine being jumped by a Nightblade from Stealth and being able to gain an extra +30% Healing received until you could recover go on the offensive. Or, if you’re more of a Tank out in Cyrodiil, being able to use something like InhaleOr Dragon Blood to much greater effect. Consider this Set if you need more survivability and you don’t rely on Damage Shields.

This Set performs really well for Builds that DPS while healing at the same time. When you are dueling or in small scale PvP, you don’t want to be forced to your back bar, so this Set can be a life saver when mashing something like Puncturing Sweep or Swallow Soul. It also works well on Stamina Builds because of their constant HoTs from Rally and Vigor, which only get stronger if they get hit hard.

puncturing_sweep

Skills like Puncturing Sweep work extremely well with this Set in PvP because of the healing you gain while dealing damage.

PvP gives you -50% Healing received just for playing, so this Set can nearly offset that between the Healing Taken (+8%) and Major Vitality (+30%). This means when this Set procs you’ll be receiving nearly full value on your healing while in Cyrodiil which is something you can’t otherwise do unless you use very specific Potions. Also factor in that the Set has no cooldown and you can keep this up relatively often while in larger battles. Just be sure that you have a healerOr two handy.

Final Tips

This Set is not recommended for players who stack Damage Shields because you will not gain Major Vitality unless you actually take 7000 damage to your Health in a single hit. So if you’re a shield stacking TankOr any sort of bubble player in PvP then you will most likely want to look elsewhere in terms of gearThis is.

As mentioned earlier, Jorvuld’s Guidance does increase the duration of Major Vitality by 2.4s to 8.4s. While this isn’t overly useful to a Stamina Tank, it can work very well for a Magicka one because Bosses usually have specific rotations, this may be able to extend your up time long enough to power through its hardest hitting attacks. This combination can give you a lot of mileage, as it extends the duration of any buffs that you have applied.

Jorvuld’s Guidance will increase the duration of Major Vitality by 2.4s to 8.4s.

To maximize the healing power of this set, make sure you place significant points in Quick Recovery or Blessed. The healing that you get from any source will be increased by Quick Recovery, which is why it works well on Tanks. Although Blessed is most useful in PvP it can also be used in PvE when you heal yourself as a Tank using one of the Sets that I mentioned.
