Very simple:

This set's 2 piece grants major resists, a buff all classes have access to.

Just change it to major mending, as the only classes which can use major mending reliably are templar (easiest access) and dk (less so).

You can currently gain major mending from resto staff heavy attacks, but the time wasted channeling said attack negates the usefulness of the buff (especially as it lasts only 3 seconds).

Or if you want it to be a tanking set, have it grant the minor protection buff, and change malubeth to grant the major incoming healing buff.

Thoughts?

Malubeth 2.0 ?

Well, I agree that major resist is probably not the best thing. On the other hand, it allows you to free a slot on your bar and use something else instead, which can make a huge difference.
Anyway, major healing buffs are too much for a 2 set piece. Healing is already out of hand in pvp, we shouldn't encourage this even further.

Please don't add more healing buffs.

I'd like to see it have a pelinal like 2 piece where armor and Sr become equal to whichever is highest. Agree that major armor buffs was not a problem for tanks and not worth a monster helm slot.

"Free slot" is not an option because of additional effects of skills granting Major Resolve/Ward. For example It's totally not worth to sacrifice second monster set piece, 8% more healing recived and 8% damage reduction (Templar Restoring Focus) for one free slot only. In my opinion second Haj Mota piece is usless.

Some additional effect seems necessary.

Would be nice if set granted "additional 5120 Armor ans SpellResistance when Major Buffs are active", so you could stack those to counter penetration stacking.

I'd love to see it return some % damage to attacker on successful block and inflict argonian poison dot for using a bash attack. Something unique

Anti_Virus

Make it have a 10% chance when you get hit to proc major protection reducing dmg taken by 30% for 10 secs with a 5 sec cool down.

Yes, that's true. Rune focus is way too good.
But I think other classes can make better use of a free slot. Besides NBs, they get major resist for free (like everything in the game)

With Blood Spawn being the tanking set best geared to DKs, it would be nice to have one meant to work best with another class. Maybe potion cooldown reduction for NB tanks, which would be a lore friendly route. Or it could free up some more slots by having a chance to throw a taunt or apply major fracture/breach and minor maim. The Major Ward and Major Resolve could also be applied to 4-12 group members.

Now this is getting interesting.

I like it as is since it allows me to be a tanky dps less tied down by my medium armor and if run a sword and board ina back bar I can off hand tank incase the tank or healer missed getting a shards or heal can take over as a secondary tank while party recouped.

If not offhand tanking I see it as a way to make solo builds a lot better tankier healers govong a light armor user slightly above medium defense levels.

Hi, I think the defensive mechanism that lacking in PvP is finisher counter.

Major protection under certain threshold of health (25% maybe?) is good, maybe at cost of something (reduce spell/weapon damage?) if it's too OP.

Or since other monster set buff always stack with every major minor buff ---> damage reduction up to 30% based on missing health.
If we want to give more incentive to health build, we can also make it ---> 1% damage reduction for every 1500 missing health.

Outside PvP its still very useful for any tanky build.

Makes the bearer immune to penetration effects.

Boom, fixed.

oh wow. Some combination of these 2 would be rather powerful and certainly worthy of a monster set!

Except it makes no sense to have this as a pve drop.

In all honesty, they shouldn't have added another freaking tank helmet. I mainly tank, but they aren't making monster sets better than Blood Spawn, so they are only increasing the amount of bad sets. In my opinion they should have made a healing set, as currently we only have Bogdan and Mephala (which is a selfheal). Bogdan currently isn't even good enough to even be considered by most healers, meaning the healing role has no useful monster set to run, whereas magicka/stam dpses have a lot of choices, same with tanks. I feel like healers are being ignored a bit too much in this regard.
