What set would you buff and why?

FeedbackOnly

Is this a balanced buff?

BXR_Lonestar

Not really a buff so to speak, but I'd like to go back to pet damage scaling exclusively on max stats. I really miss running around on my 2 pet sorc with Crafty Alfiqi and Necropotence with Maw of the Infernal (~ 65k max magika) and melting things.

As of right now, basically everything in terms of damage scaling is just based off of weapon/spell power (I know, the two are basically fused now), and that has made max stat sets like Necropotence/Crafty Alfiqi far less useful. Changing how the damage scales back to how it used to be - without ANY changes to the sets themselves, would be a buff for both of these sets IMO.

So many but to start:

I'm creating a spider-themed character but some of the parts could use some work. One is a set and another is a skill. Both have issues with the radius of effect.

Hand Of Mephala (set)
(2 items) Adds 4% Healing Taken
(3 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
(4 items) Adds 1487 Armor
(5 items) When you take damage, you encase the ground beneath you in webs for 5 seconds, reducing the Movement Speed of enemies within a 4 meter radius by 33% and applying Minor Breach to them, reducing their Physical Resistance and Spell Resistance by 2974. After 5 seconds the webs burst into venom, dealing 0 Poison Damage. This effect can occur once every 5 seconds and scales off the higher of your Physical or Spell Resistance.


Trapping Webs (skill)
Cast Time: Instant
Target: Ground
Range: Maximum range: 28 meters, Radius: 4 meters
Cost: 2984 Stamina
Skill description
Hurl webs to ensnare your foes, reducing the Movement Speed of enemies in the area by 50% and dealing 1742 Physical Damage. After 10 seconds the webs explode, dealing 2323 Poison Damage to enemies within. A ranged ally can activate the Spawn Broodlings synergy, dealing 2249 Poison Damage to them and summoning a spider to attack for 10 seconds. The spider bites enemies for 673 Physical Damage.

A 4 meter radius is almost nothing. It's only slightly bigger than the Templar rune. For an area of effect that snares, the opponent has to be right on top of you. In that case, who cares if they're snared - they don't have anywhere to go anywhere. For a tank set, it's really not going to even beat out a skill like caltrops which has a much wider radius (8 meters). Why can't this set have a radius like that? It just doesn't measure up to other tanking sets.

The same issue for trapping webs exists. It's only 4 meters wide. I tried using it and mobs walk right through it because it's so small. It needs to be at least 5 meters wide to be effective, I think. I also think it could have the snare potency increased the longer an opponent is affected by it, even after they leave the area of effect. So unless it's cleansed or removed, after leaving the AOE, the snare intensifies (like the shadows in Cradle of Shadows). And for an aesthetic improvement, maybe the spiders could be more like the black widow types? That would be great.

These are my suggestions. I appreciate you considering them. Thanks.

Remove the increased debuffs from the Vampire Lord set so it'd find it's place on Vampire builds looking to further reduce their ability costs.

ESO_Nightingale

Ysgramor/Netch's Touch/Silks of the Sun.

Bonus is too low for a specific build style. Ysgramor has so few skills that work with it and most are bad. Frostbite is pretty solid but that's because it also buffs non frost skills too. problem still remains.

AcadianPaladin

Return Earthgore and Winter's Respite to helping allies instead of just group members in PvE. Do whatever you want with these sets (via Battle Spirit) for PvP.

StarOfElyon

I recently just completed my sticker book for Banished Cells and I'm using Tormenter on a tank character. This set definitely needs a buff. Just one more thing... I think the amount of armored you gain from the proc should increase. Right now, it's not much better than fortified brass.

Gutted since mundus changes but buff too far and would be OP.

Needs something tho either a % boost on 5pc or stat increase 2-4pc

I gotta agree here, if that set got buffed ever so gently, it would be nice. Maybe a 10-15% increase in stats on the 2-4 pieces and/or something like a 10-15% increase in mundus power added to the 5 piece.

Ditto! Give this set some love, please!

I would buff unfathomable darkness because it is visually one of the coolest sets in the game and the proc damage is very undertuned for a single target proc.

I would change (buff) Salvation set.

https://eso-sets.com/set/salvation

(2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
(3 items) Adds 129 Stamina Recovery
(4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
(5 items) Reduces the cost of your Werewolf Transformation ability by 33%. While in Werewolf form, your Weapon Damage and Spell Damage is increased by 150.

Because... lets get real: What is the use case for this set ? One could make a point that maybe levelling up WW skill line is maybe, kinda "that moment" when cheaper WW transformation could be useful, but really it is just for a short time, till you level up "a bit" and then cheaper transformation becomes obsolete. You are better off with a sustain oriented set if you want to level up WW skills. Because it is kinda a wasted 5 peace bonus once you transform. Also... why would you grind this set & gold it out just for a brief moment for "levelling WW" ? It is kinda pointless.

Personally, I would change this set into some kind of a "kiss-curse" set. So you would get some penalty, while in human form, but a noticeable bonus while in WW form. Maybe more expensive non - WW abilities, but cheaper WW abilities.

Alternative, maybe just reduce Werewolf Transformation cost reduction to 25%, by make it so it would apply to all WW abilities (ulti & skills).

Like vampires cloak where before it gave minor protection now the whole set is vampire related

I could get behind this.

I find werewolf to be pretty lackluster.

Same goes for changes to that Vamp lord set. Why would I want more penalties? You just buffed mag dk and fighter's guild stuff. (Dawny)

Can you imagine if they paid attention to how they drive their own metas and instead focused on sets having equivalent power levels?

El_Borracho

Make Crimson Twilight what it used to be. Was fun for tanking and PVP.

After two days of using Tormenter on my tank, I can say that it feels SQUISHY as hell. Having to proc the armor bonus would be fine if it made up from the 2 lines of healing received that you get (instead of armor). Basically, you spend a lot of time trying to heal from taking hits. The armor bonus definitely needs to be increased by quite a bit.

Styxius

I'd change Bahsei's mania to work inversely with a reduction in total to like 10-12%

I love TBS uniqueness comes from having two stones.
Would like to see that uniqueness for for all pieces...that Twiceness....
ie 2-4 pieces

(2 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health + regen
(3 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina + regen
(4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka + regen

and that needs be balanced - no over powered. (halve the initial attributes, then add the regen?)

Thoughts?

IonicKai

I think TBS should definitely get a buff. My suggestion though would be

(2 items) health (or better an offensive stat)
(3 items) mag & stam (many sets offer both in the same slot)
(4 items) crit/dmg (either one would be way better than what it has)
(5 items) double mundus plus maybe a partial item bonus for recov, dmg, or crit. This would be to compensate for the fact that mundus stones aren't as strong as they used to be long ago

Kaelthorn_Nightbloom

It would be nice if Wrath of the Imperium started working again. The 3 piece bonus literally does nothing.



Not even asking for a buff. Just make the set work.

Neoauspex

Azureblight... cool idea, there's just no way to make it work (in PvP at least)

Sparxlost

Vipers sting because the new plaguebreak is simply just an upgraded form of it

AuraNebula

Acuity back to what it was before the Nerf.

Castagere

Sword Singer
It's called Sword Singer but does not buff swords or daggers. The buff on it is just silly to me. A buff to two-hand weapons.

You should take another look at azureblight.

Original comment was pre crit changes but now I'm all over it... Still doesn't compare to Plaguebreak/Dark Convergence in PvP though due to player mobility

Hescrow

Almalexia's mercy is a PvP stuff for heal which is a joke regarding heal it offers.
Boost at least 200% the base heal to be useful.

Same issue for Briarheart for pve/PvP.
