Characters who can inflict debuffs with their kit can utilize Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters since they can easily apply debuffs and benefit from the increased DMG and CRIT DMG the set provides.

DoT characters can also benefit from the 2pc. set effect, but the Prisoner in Deep Confinement relic set would suit them better.
