Is the Skull Set good? Rating by build

For each build we take the strongest loadout (gear and food), swap in the Skull Set pieces (with the set bonus) and calculate the damage. Damage is relative to the strongest loadout (= 100), and the rank is out of all 70 sets.

BuildDamage
(best = 100)
RankBest set for this build
Melee 68.5 #27 Core Commander Armor Set
Ranged 60.9 #44 Mold Set
Magic 68.9 #18 Arcane Monk Armor Set
Summoner 53.6 #8 Chieftain Armor Set

The Skull Set fits summoner builds best (#8 of all sets). It is a lower-level set, so even if it is strong when you get it, you will usually upgrade it or move to a higher-level set later in the game.

Damage assumes endgame gear (Lv.20) and skills at level 100. Defense (armor, health) is not included; compare the totals above for that. The damage model is this site's own estimate, not an official formula.
