I hopped on the PTS, and this is a set I have been eyeing for a while. I really wanted to stack it with 7 pieces of light armor for maximum anti-snare efficiency. However, upon testing I was a little let down by this set. I had another played use the Stampede ability on me, snaring me 60%, and it was hardly noticeable.
Pros:
- It has good core stats, and works well as your "regen set."
- It is extremely effective at mitigating snares, which is awesome for PVP.
Cons:
- Needs to be double barred. This is the sets downfall in my opinion.
This set only mitigates the effectiveness of snares that are placed on you while you have the 5-piece bonus. This is silly, considering abilities will have their damage improved if you gain spell damage half way through their DoT. I also understand that it's possible it's a performance thing, maybe snares can't be recalculated every second because of the additional server stress.
If anyone has talked to the Devs about this set specifically, and knows if this is intended to work like this or not, please do let me know. I want to love this set, but in it's current state I just can't bring myself to use it.
