yeap fenris set its so good , that speed buff is very noticeable , for me now its the best set for be a scout/archer/dagger , enemies have not a chance to get you
Best combo is fenris pants and chest + heavy top helmet ( silver or padded ) , root chest is not good for fire attacks from plains , countering the fire resist mead

If you like to be full parry and tanky go for silver n padded in plains

About flesh rippers , its kindameh weapon because their animation is the same as unarmed and used this as skill damage , but its freaking cheap ( 18 silver to make it lvl 4 ) and do very heavy damage in backstab attacks ( sneaky first attack )
