It's pretty cute to see such hope.
okay.. so proc sets are in the game, they cant crit, they add a crap ton of burst, someone ambushes you, viper procs, get off an incap, velideath or selene procs, if you survive your forced to go on the defensive to and dodge roll spam or hold block and heal or spam breath of life or shields, to get to a safe point you waste resources, in the mean time your cc immunity wears off, the proc cool down is done and your ready to take some nice burst in yo a$$ again!
what can one do while the proc sets remain stackable in the game and you are reduced to being naked from penetration, dont get hit first? surely there is some constructive counter play here guys.. use them yourself?
I basicly took a stand a while ago, to just flatout hate proccsets, and using them myself would pretty much brand me a hypocrite, id rather not. So I gimp myself for having principle, and I go to forum to QQ about it, sums it up nicely, not rly trying to sugarcoat it.

Imagine what a surprise it would be for the poor ganker to get knocked back and stunned as you heal up to to either run away or kill him instead.
You get ganked once it's an experience.
You get ganked twice, you are doing something wrong.
You still get ganked over and over, shame on you.
So stop whining and L2P.

gimping yourself in order to avoid getting instakiled, not gonna help you beat them, just prolong your eventual death.
what i personally like doing, and this makes me feel so good and my balls get so much love from all the teabagging i give out to failed ganks, slot radiant magelight and soul assault. but only on my magplar sadly.

You have gear swapper addons, that help a lot, when I am travelling out of stealth I use a defensive setup and when I am waiting for prey in the shadows I go all out glass cannon.
It makes my day to get those love messages after a successful gank once in a while, especially in IC.

well for us that play on ps4.. no such thing as addon, but the issue is not getting ganked, its interesting to see how fast some guys can do it, sometimes u gotta say "well done man, you got me" if they fail teabag, take it. we talking about proc sets, as an unnatural damage source

Love it or hate it, they are here to stay, for good or bad, time will tell, I have been insta killed so many times that I finally adapted and learned to gank as well.

i vote they should make a new craftable set:
armor of anti-a$$hole:
(2 items) Adds 967 stamina
(3 items) Adds 967 magicka
(4 items) Adds 129 weapon and spell damage
(5 items) Reduces the damage taken by proc sets by 50%, when damaged by a proc set increase your damage against that player by 25% for 10sec
Adds 1064 health

This gives me an idea on how to affect proc sets without getting PvEers panties in a twist!
Tweaking your set a bit going more recover from gank reaction:
(2 items) Adds 129 stamina recovery
(3 items) Adds 129 magicka recovery
(4 items) Adds 129 weapon and spell damage
(5 items) Reflects half of each proc set damage ability back at the attacker
Adds 1064 health
And we need one for the healing procs as well going more offensive:
(2 items) Adds 967 stamina
(3 items) Adds 967 magicka
(4 items) Adds 129 weapon and spell damage
(5 items) While under the affects of a health steal, major defile is applied to the attacker.

Lol someone still hates Malubeth!
but yeah they really should make a set for countering proc sets which punish the users, its the only way to slowly remove it, that reflect back the damage of procs is nice, punishes users of multiple proc sets which is actually the key issue. 1 proc set is generally fine to deal with, 2 and 3 creates the problem.
Take the OP's screenshot. He didn't block once, didn't roll dodge, and probably didn't break free in time. Now some of that could have been due to ping rate, who knows.
Those attacks all hit within a little more than 1 second for OP. Meaning he can´t possibly block or dodge anything but the last suprise attack - because he was in breakfree animation.
Also he´s one of the best NBs on the eu server (who actually plays the class an doesn´t just gank). Making assumptions about someones ability to play the game for whatever reason without having seen gameplay always makes you look like an
I did say "To each their own" AND You took the quoted out of context. I love playing against proc sets.
I could say the exact same thing of people that roam in a duo or more about "going potato". It's all subjective.
Complaint about proc sets simply boils down to the fact that someone died and didn't like it.
To give an example, I have a build that does upwards of 35k in one shot with absolutely zero proc sets and people still complain.
Some people expect fair and equal fights in Cyrodiil. In which case you might as well head to Rawl and duel all day. My idea of "fun" pvp is the ability to put people down before they can react and attempt to get away from their friends, to do it all over again. /shrug
@Xeniph
To the "I have a build" let's be serious it's an Onslaught build... And it feeds the lack of skill in this game. Can we all agree that Zos implements these ridiculous things in this game, and just not abuse it!?!? Are you seriously having fun 1 shotting a player because they didn't feel like keeping all their buffs up 24/7 outside of combat?? Not to mention this particular build goes straight through some defensive buffs...
Geez why can't players have any sense of self pride or dignity. Why do so many people resort to effortless kills... Buff, empower, ultimate, stealth and run.
You are right, I drifted due to the SS specifically being from a NB.
However I think my point that without proc sets burst is predictable and with all the defensive sets available to classes with a reliable heal on top of the removal of soft caps, more people would be impossible to kill.
I look at it this way. Those sorcs that can stack 20k+ shields make them immune to crits and they can be refreshed at will. We all know these guys and have watched 5+ people trying to kill a turtling magicka sorc. I personally would not like to see everyone be able to do this. I think the RNG burst from these sets bring a bit of "unpredictability" to game play.
Now do I think that it was the right direction to go, no not really. However I do believe that with the current state of the game they are needed atm.
5 people who cannot kill a turtling magica sorc simply suck at the game. period. I´m highly in favor of nerfing shieldstacking but these exaggerations don´t help any bit in that situation.
Also your last statement is shortsighted (if we´re being nice). There´s the possibility to build insanely tanky. That´s a problem.
The solution is "oviously" to provide enough offensive power (with itemsets) that anything not insanely tanky is no longer effectively playable? Really?
Yeah that´s a smart solution.
"I personally love proc sets, without them burst is more predictable. I don't enjoy 5 minute plus fights, so boring. I love going back through my combat log trying to figure out what destroyed me. Then learning how to avoid that situation or mitigate it.
To each their own."
Proc sets take 0 skills and you like them ?
You love going back through combat log and trying to figure out what destroyed you, And how can you learn to avoid a proc set ? You can't and you like that ?
Or can you tell me how to avoid a viper proc ?
Viper, Selene, Velidreth, Tremorscale and Valkyn Skoria is the worst pieces of s proccsets out there, they need nerfed hard af. (tremorscale for the asenine snare)
For the above situation, you're best bet is to force the proctato onto the defensive. Many of them are pretty squishy and have low recovery/sustain. For my NB this looks like: Get hit w/ proc burst ---> block cast Rally (optional chug health potion) --> block cast Fear --> if my health is still low, block cast Vigor and then Cloak to confuse target. If not, go full offense. The above progression happens in the space of 1 or 2 Global Cooldowns, so they won't have their burst up again yet. Basically you need to heal above execute range and CC/force them to defend. Like you said, you don't want to take another cycle of their burst for free.okay.. so proc sets are in the game, they cant crit, they add a crap ton of burst, someone ambushes you, viper procs, get off an incap, velideath or selene procs, if you survive your forced to go on the defensive to and dodge roll spam or hold block and heal or spam breath of life or shields, to get to a safe point you waste resources, in the mean time your cc immunity wears off, the proc cool down is done and your ready to take some nice burst in yo a$$ again!

Agreed @Xeniph . Like I pointed out in a comment earlier, contrary to what some anticipated, the crit removal does have a large impact on the burst of a proctato in Cyrodiil (about 33% damage nerf in the case of the OP).olsborg wrote: »

And finally back on topic. I can respect your opinion, I just disagree. If we nerf these sets any further, where is the incentive to use them?

Having a defeatist mentality about proc builds is going to have 1 result: you're gonna lose. Understanding their builds strength and weakness, and having the awareness to react is not only possible, but not overly difficult with practice. Hope this helps.

3 attacks with 2 procs on timers and one with only a 15% chance, not so sure it's a problem. 25k health would have survived it and both of those procs would be on cooldown.

Magica was allready on a lvl playing field last patch now with stamina nerfs and destro buffs i think magica is going to dominante even more no procs needed.
