Some armor sets in Elder Scrolls Online are good go-tos for a variety of builds, like the Order's Wrath set from ESO's High Isle Chapter. Most armor sets give a unique, powerful effect for equipping a full set, too. Others, like the Bahsei's Mania set, are only good for certain builds and don't give a full set bonus normally.
Perfected sets in The Elder Scrolls Online are better versions of existing Trial sets, and in the case of Bahsei's Mania the Perfected bonus is what makes it so sought-after. By maintaining a low Magicka meter during battle, players can increase their damage separate from other buffs, but getting the Perfected version of the set in the first place is a task easier said than done.

The Bahsei's Mania ESO set is a Light Armor set that works best for Magicka-based builds in Trials, Arenas, and other group content. The normal set increases Weapon and Spell damage with its two-piece and full equip bonuses. With three pieces equipped players gain the Minor Slayer buff, increasing damage towards group content enemies by 5%, and the four-piece bonus increases Critical Chance. Overall, it's pretty bland compared to some sets - but the Perfected version of the Bahsei's Mania set is what makes it interesting.
Perfected sets in ESO are the same as their normal counterparts, but they come with an additional full equip bonus. For the Bahsei's Mania set, the Perfected version adds up to 12% increased damage towards non-player enemies. The less Magicka a player has, the higher this bonus can go, up to a maximum of 12% of course. To make this set work to its fullest potential, players must learn to manage their Magicka bar being nearly completely empty at all times in combat. Regenerative buffs and food can help keep it low without running out completely.
How To Get The Perfected Bahsei's Mania Armor Set
The Bahsei's Mania set can be earned by going through the Rockgrove Trial, found in the southwest of Blackwood as part of the eponymous Blackwood Chapter. Pieces to the set drop from bosses throughout the Rockgrove, but the Perfected version can only be acquired by completing the Trial on the harder difficulty: Veteran mode.
Veteran mode is a much harder version of the normal Trial, and it's quite the feat to get through any Trial in ESO with this enabled. The process for acquiring the Perfected version of the Bahsei's Mania set is otherwise the same, but be sure to get a group that knows the Trial in and out to have a chance at getting any pieces to the set at all. Veteran Trials are not to be taken lightly.
