FAQ
What are the best sets for DragonKnight Magicka DPS in ESO?
Measured, not opined: the table above shows what 362 real top-end DragonKnight Magicka DPS parses actually wore, with each set's usage share, median DPS of builds wearing it, and our neural net's learned value. The most-worn set appears in 67% of those parses (Velothi Ur-Mage's Amulet).
Why show usage instead of a tier ranking?
Usage among top parses IS the revealed meta — it's thousands of skilled players voting with their gear. The net's value column adds what usage can't: sets that are popular but cost DPS (support sets) show negative values.
