Elder Scrolls Online: How To Get The Coral Riptide Armor Set (And What It Does)

In Dreadsail Reef, Elder Scrolls Online's most recent Trial, players can find pieces to four new armor sets: the DPS-oriented Whorl of the Depths set, and the Support and Tank-oriented Pillager's Profit and Pearlescent Ward sets. Whorl of the Depths has great DPS bonuses, but it's a Light Armor set. If you wear Medium Armor, opt for the equally powerful Coral Riptide set instead.

The Coral Riptide armor set is geared towards Stamina players, and has the potential to raise DPS output more significantly than almost any other armor set in Elder Scrolls Online. There's a catch, though: to maximize the full set bonus, players must learn how to work with a Stamina bar that constantly lingers at around one-third full.

The Coral Riptide armor set is a Medium armor set that Stamina-based DPS players should be looking at in the High Isle Chapter. For two pieces equipped, players gain 657 Critical Hit Chance, while three pieces grants the Minor Slayer buff to increase damage against enemies in group content. Four pieces increases Weapon and Spell Damage by 129, and the Perfected version of the set increases Critical Hit Chance by a further 657 for a complete five-piece set.

The full equip bonus of the Coral Riptide armor set increases Weapon and Spell Damage by up to a whopping 740 — the keyword is «up to», though, as this bonus depends on your remaining Stamina. The lower your Stamina bar is, the higher this bonus. It maxes out at 33% Stamina remaining, so a build that can use a burst of Stamina at the start of a fight and maintain a low Stamina total for the rest can reliably take advantage of the +740 Weapon and Spell Damage.
