[BUG] Darkstride Armor set after patch 1.1.2 - or was this a ninja nerf? Set Bonuses now missing.

curlyqloub14_ESO · May 2014

Not sure if this was an intentional nerf, or an unintended side effect of the 1.1.2 patch, but the Darkstride armor set no longer has the 3-item effect that it used to have.

Prior to this patch, equipping 3 items granted the player +8 (ish) stamina regen. Now, the only bonus comes with 5 pieces- that bonus is still the same.

What happened to the 3-item set bonus? Was this intentional? The patch notes have a good amount of fixes (mostly) to armor sets that weren't working right, but I see nothing about the Darkstride set in the notes.

darkstides not the only set that lost its 3 set bonus the dreugh king slayer set also lost its 3set bonus mean while a lot of sets got a 5set bonus added to them some of them even got a 5set bonus and only have 4 items in the game like the akarivi dragon set or the ice furnace set both sets only have 4 items that ive seen example the dragon set has sword, shield, helm, chest so did they add more items to these sets and not say any thing in patch notes??

Some of 6 and 8 trait crafted sets also lost their 3 set bonuses. So far I have noticed the missing 3 set bonus on Kagrenac's Hope, Shalidor's Curse and Hunding's Rage.

I hope this was unintentional. It sure wasn't in the notes.

If you were just looking at the sets in at the crafting station, try changing the mats used, it appears as though they made the recovery stats based on the level crafted - even added a 5 piece recovery to Seducer.

Same here with the Darkstride Set. Its Veteran 5 Stuff so it should have enough quality to give both bonuses. I even upgraded it to Epic Quality. If that change was intended they are nailing the last few nails in their coffins

Its *** enough with stealth nerfs, bugs, incompetence, etc.

EDIT: Set Bonus is there for 3 Items but its only 1 Stamina Recovery. I tell you apes would have done it better...

If the regen is now based on level or quality, I'd like to know what level or quality is needed to start seeing it. My pieces were level 37-40 blue quality - seems like that would be high enough level to start seeing at least SOME bonus.

My Veteran Dreugh King Slayer Set give 1 stamina recovery now, =( i cant think is intentional

Chivana · May 2014

Same here, only 1 Stamina Recovery left on my purple v5 set. I farmed and upgraded it right before the patch

Only lucky thing is I didn't spent my legendary mats on it, almost did thinking there will be no better than v5... Working hard on items and being ninja nerfed like that is NO FUN. And I'll only keep paying if it's fun to play.

So, did I overlook anything or is there really no answer on this yet? Not mentioned in the new PTS notes either

Could at least say, if it's an intended change or a bug or whatever...

Finallly, I got an answer from support:

"[...] it is a known bug, and it should be adjusted soon in an upcoming patch."

Akarivi Dragon set has a necklace as well.

I very much hope they are not killing PVE to appease the PVP issues.
I've plaid games where cool weapon procs were taken out because ppl were using them in pvp.
