For pve, look into hundings or night mothers gaze for a 5 piece set. And if you're running dw and bow, then yes hidden blade would give major brutality, but most people I know just use weapon potions for the buff or crit surge if they're a sorc. But as many have said, just hit cp160 first, then work on your gear there are plenty of guides on here and youtube that are class specific.Gold cp 160 weapons will add quite a bit, but I'm guessing the bigger problem is with your set gear. What sets are you running right now? And also assuming you didn't buff with major brutality (rally, hidden blade, potions, and a few other skills give this buff).
Ahh okay makes sense. I am running really simple sets, I have ashen grip(piece) with deaths wind (two piece) and nights silence (4 piece) pairs with medusa ring and two pieces of agility jewelry.
Ok so hidden blade would increase weapon damage a bit?
