Berserking Warrior or Advancing Yokeda as it is also known, is one of the strongest DPS Sets in the game. Since this is a Heavy Armor Set we are mostly using its Jewels and Weapons in PVE gameplay. It requires Melee Weapons to use it effectively, so it might not be the best option for a few builds.

Aegis Caller is another great DPS Set for PVE Builds. Its effects boost your Damage, Stamina Recovery and calls a Lesser Aegis to deal Bleed damage to enemies. An amazing Set to deal AOE damage and deal with multiple enemies.
