In The Elder Scrolls Online, you can acquire unique armor sets from different facets of gameplay. These sets provide significant bonuses to your character and can bolster a specific playstyle. Among them, sets that focus on inflicting numerous debuffs, boosting Critical Chance, or dealing exorbitant burst damage is often utilized in PvP battles.
Burst damage is crucial in PvP fights because your opponents have access to all the same resources as you, meaning they can also constantly heal and cleanse debuffs from themselves. This makes the PvE meta sets useless in PvP combat as they focus less on dealing burst damage.
This article lists the five best sets in The Elder Scrolls Online that will overwhelm your opponents in PvP battles.
