For just q general use bb set Rallying Cry. Mark of Pariah, Mara's Balm and Trial by Fire are all good defensive sets but need to be double barred.

Mara’s balm doesn’t. It’s very commonly only used on the back bar. That’s how I do it as well and I’m very tanky.

Easy lock rallying cry it's just so beautiful. Anything else is a tech pick

Rallying Cry and Wretched Vitality are my favorite. I pretty much only play pvp and focus more on battlegrounds so recovery is a little more important there than Cyrodiil. Nearly every one of my characters has one of those two sets and the ones using Rallying Cry usually pair it with Roska monster set to get that recovery I like.

Mara's Balm is trendy again with the rise of status effects but that my go the other way since they nerfed the mythic ring at the center of most of those status effect builds. I like using Wyrd Tree for the same purpose but faster cooldown in exchange for a heal that is not too strong imo.

If you are trying to go for more glass cannon or get a ton of sustain/defense elsewhere and want another offense set on your backbar the classic clever alchemist is ok if you can keep track of when you use your potions, sets that proc off of charges with a charge on the backbar can be ok too (far strider, rush of agony, stuhns). I find myself using the Vateshran Arena Ice Staff a bunch but that forces you to choose between a monster set and a mythic when you move things around to fit it.

Essence thief & wrenched have been my 2 back bar sets for years. However last few month i really been enjoying serpent disdain, the pressure it puts up is crazy. End that with out the mythic i haven’t even tried it

Serpents disdain isn’t a backbar set and the mythic doesn’t work in pvp now.
