Goddamn, the Winter's Respite set is amazing. Just went through Labyrinthian -- which was way less annoying than in OG Skyrim, for some reason -- and it was doing WORK. Like, you can walk up to a group of enemies, use the Grave Grasp for mass (4-6s?) immobilization and stun, then just unload with fireballs to thin the herds. Getting free healing out of that, the fear totem, and the Graveyard/breach ability, plus extra healing on top of the Restoration circle ability, is flat-out great. I still died a few times since my necromancer is squishy and prone to being OHKO or two-shotted, but man, it's the first time in a long time I thought I could just dominate. And I did for a lot of the smaller bosses, thankfully.

Too bad so many bosses have minions that maim (is that the one?) you and slow your movements, only to keep maiming you. You see a lot of that in the Western Skyrim dolmens, especially when the tanks die and all the bosses gun for you. Got some purple-rarity Winter's Respite pieces from Labyrinthian, though, so I'm sittin' pretty.
