Comments:
This is not something you should typically use on a Tank due to the micro-management required to maintain it which is better suited to a Damage Dealer.
Since the Ascending Tide patch Weapon Glyphs no longer count towards the Elemental Weaknesses for EC so it’s not viable for some classes to use EC.
This is an essential group set since the benefit it brings to a group is huge, when you apply all 3 weaknesses this accumulates to 15% increased critical damage done to that enemy.
You need to be able to keep this active basically 100% of the time otherwise your group will lose a lot of damage which is why a Damage Dealer should occupy this set.
This is not really a set you would use for Dungeon/4-Man content, mostly just for Trials.
