1. Slivers of the Null Arca

Slivers of the Null Arca is an amazing DPS Set that grants stacks of Slivers. These merge into a Crystal that deals damage to enemies. A reliable DPS Set that you can use with any Build. You can farm it inside the Lucent Citadel Trial, in the West Weald Zone. The Gold Road DLC is necessary to access the zone.

2. Ansuul’s Torment

An amazing Set for PVE Gameplay! Ansuul’s Torment boosts your Damage against monsters which limits it in PVE gameplay. That does not matter though, since the Set does its job well in harder group content. You can farm its pieces inside the Sanity’s Edge Trial, in the Telvanni Peninsula zone, which means that you will need the Necrom DLC to access the Trial!

3. Coral Riptide

Coral Riptide is a Trial Set that you can farm inside the Dreadsail Reef Trial in High Isle and it requires good Stamina management. With this Set you can boost your Damage based on your missing Stamina, which makes it great for DPS Builds.

4. Berserking Warrior

Also known as Advancing Yokeda, Berserking Warrior is a powerful DPS Set that boosts Critical Chance when dealing damage with melee attacks. This makes it a great Set to wear with Stamina based but also Hybrid Builds! Since this is a Heavy Armor Set, DPS Builds utilize better its Weapons and Jewelry pieces. The Set drops inside the Hel Ra Citadel Trial in Craglorn and is available with the Base Game.

5. Arms of Relequen

Arms of Relequen remains one of the best DPS Sets in the Elder Scrolls Online, thanks to how easy it is to farm and use it. Relequen deals massive single target damage and is great set for Parses as well as harder or easier Group Gameplay. You can even wear it for Solo PVE if you wish. Great option for Stamina or Hybrid Builds that deals extra damage when you deal damage with a Light or Heavy Attack. The Set drops inside the Cloudrest Trial in Summerset zone. The Summerset DLC is required to enter the Trial.

6. Sul-Xan’s Torment

Sul-Xan’s Torment is an excellent Armor Set for “real” gameplay and not only Dummy Parses! Which means that this is a highly effective Set you can use in almost every content. The Set boosts your Critical Chance and Damage when you kill enemies and drops inside the Rockgrove Trial in the Blackwood zone. The Blackwood DLC is necessary to access the Trial.

7. Aegis Caller

Aegis Caller is a great Bleed based Set that procs from melee attacks! A Solid Set that can complement every Stamina based or Hybrid Build in ESO. You can use it with dedicated Bleed DPS Builds as well. Aegis Caller drops inside the Unhallowed Grave Dungeon, so you will need the Harrowstorm DLC to farm it.

8. Pillar of Nirn

Powerful Dungeon Set that also deals AOE Bleed damage and is great for melee and ranged Builds in ESO. Pillar of Nirn pieces drop inside the Falkreath Hold Dungeon which requires the Horns of the Reach DLC. Pillar of Nirn is a must have Set for every Damage dealer in ESO, that allows you to play a variety of Builds. From traditional Dual Wield Builds to Magicka Staff or Bow Builds.

9. Highland Sentinel

Highland Sentinel is a strong crafted set that increases your Critical Chance when you stand still. This makes it a great option for parses and static fights but not the best to deal with mobile enemies. You ca find its crafting stations in the West Weald zone. The Gold Road DLC is necessary to access the zone.

10. Whorl of the Depths

A Superb Light Armor Set that deals massive AOE Frost Damage to enemies. Whorl of the Depths is a great Set for Magicka and Stamina Builds that also shines in Frost DPS Builds! Whorl deals extra Frost damage when you deal damage with Light Attacks and extra AOE Frost damage when this effect ends! You can farm it inside the Dreadsail Reef Trial in High Isle, which means that the High Isle DLC is required!

More DPS Sets to consider

This list is not complete without mentioning a couple more excellent Sets you can use for the role of DPS in ESO. Order’s Wrath, Sergeant’s Mail and Deadly Strike! Order’s Wrath is a great Crafted Set that you can use to create No-Trial gear DPS Builds, that are strong and effective in almost every content. You can find its crafting stations in High Isle. Alternatively you can buy its pieces from other players directly or via Guild Traders. Crafting pieces of this set to sell to other players is a nice way to make gold in ESO.

Sergeant’s Mail is a great Set for Heavy Attack DPS Builds! Sergeant’s Mail boosts your damage with Heavy Attacks and when combined with similar sets, can maximize your potential for ESO PVE! This Set drops inside the Wayrest Sewers 1 and 2 Dungeons, that are available with the Base game!

Finally Deadly Strike is another great DPS set that you can use with a variety of Builds in ESO! It increases damage over time and channeled attacks which makes it excellent for specific setups. You can get its pieces from the Bruma Vendor in Cyrodiil!
