ESO Best Hybrid Sets
The Best Hybrid Sets for DPS in ESO! The expansion of Hybridization to almost all DPS Sets in the Elder Scrolls Online, has turned several Stamina or Magicka only Sets into amazing options for both roles! Armor Sets that now offer both Weapon and Spell Damage, as well as both Physical and Spell Penetration, can work together to boost the Damage of Stamina but also Magicka based Builds.
This change introduces more options when creating a build and allows experimentation with different combinations. Obviously, some of these new Hybrid Sets are better than other. The weight(Light, Medium, Heavy) of the Sets will also affect how you can use them in your Builds.
For the Best Armor Sets, for every role you can take a look at my Stamina DPS Sets, Magicka DPS Sets, Tank Sets and Healer Sets Guides. If you are looking for the Best Mythic Items in ESO, you can take a look at my ESO Best Mythic Sets Guide!
