In The Elder Scrolls Online, there are various Armor sets you can choose from to fulfill your role and complete PvE or PvP. But, not all sets are good for all roles or types of gameplay. Some are better for Stamina DPS, some are better for Magicka DPS, and some work better in PvE or PvP.  ArzyeL Gaming's guide lists the best Magicka DPS sets for PvE and PvP. If you want to get some tradable sets but don't have enough gold, then buying ESO gold with real money is a good option.
