We have a fix planned for the Storm Knight's Plate item set in the next incremental patch. We also have some additional balance changes for this set coming in Update 12.

I assume using it before the next fix is still allowed?

Betting folks will start selling this quickly

Thanks!!

I replaced my Storm Knight with another set last night after seeing how it was broke, but the set I replaced it with is better and not broken so I'll stick with it.

Storm Knight is only good in situations where tanky players such as Blazing Shield tanks get loads of people going full potatoe on one guy killing themselves or in tight corridors where it's hard to avoid. It's more situational then some other sets

I tried Stormknight solo; it mostly got me killed because it it utterly useless against almost any stamina opponent. It really seems like it shines in groups where you have multiple tanks wearing it with the heals and dps to back them up, because *someone* is going to proc it.

Add a cooldown timer, make it useless again

... maybe change Ice Furnace item set too? (weapon damage, healthy juwelery, wrong tooltip - it does not proc from dots)

Only 3800 dps? When purge bug was still around I would get like 6-7k dps spamming blockade on a back flag and solo wiping Brandon's spec ops group or the moonlight crew. Was some great ap, such a shame that we dont have a blob buster like ground oils or blockade anymore.

Haha yeah wall of elements did more damage, but I was able to perma block with S&B inside never ending 60% damage mitigation VoB's and batswarms while doing it. Couldn't get that much survivability with a destro staff, then again, probably don't need to when putting out that much DPS with good positioning. Blockade was really good for positioning it's a shame it sucks now.

I saw the popular AD ball group on EU using this last night in IC. Low man, real low.

I don't want to see bans handed out like with the Werewolf set, that was just mean and uncalled for by ZOS but I'd wish that players would use their head and be a good sportsman. If you know something is overperforming just stay away, then again I'm the guy who hasn't played magicka Templar for 2 months so maybe I'm just being OTT.

In ESO?

Yeah...

Skander · August 2016

You know something is not right when in two second a heavy armor set does 11k aoe to your templar with 34k spell resistence and 10% mitigation from pcs

Jaybe_Mawfaka · August 2016

Where's the ban hammer ZOS @GinaBruno @Wrobel ? The last time you was permabanning ppl all over around for using sets&mechanics you broke by yourself without even a second chance ( looks like only legit cheaters can get the second chance cough cough).

between KBs and battle roar and tripots I was permablock on my dk w/ a staff loooool. Also what do you mean blockade sucks? According to ZoS people melt when they walk in it. At least its OP in PVE lol.

So many people FOTM riders have bought this set, tried it, and already trashed it because it isnt the isnta win people think it is.

They didn't realize you need to run it with 6 other people as templars and cross heal each other.

If you ever stop by haderus, I'll bring my DC templar with fasalla's to the party too. Don't think TM would appreciate me bringing him to Azura's.

Overperforming isn't the same as bugged tho

Sypher · September 2016

So are people just allowed to use it in its current state with no punishment?

.. Going to be an annoying month, already had some trash players switching over to this set in the past day, really annoying to go against as a magicka nb.

Why should anyone be punished? Just because the set is powerful? It clearly doesn't have the 100% proc rate some people suggested earlier, and the damage seems to be scaling correctly.

he's probably implying the recent salvation bug that got multiple people perma banned but no consequence for this one

N1 troll yo

timidobserver · September 2016

I agree with this thread. This set needs to be reduced back to the point that nobody would ever use it. I also agree with Sypher that the act of equipping the set should be punished.

Good thread.

themdogesbite · September 2016

Salvation and Storm Knight are not even close on the same levels of broken lol. Might aswell go after everyone that buggs their vicecannon too.

just like everybody who ever received a bugged malubeth heal tick?
would rather punish people using ambush + shadow image from IC safe-spots. it honestly looks more malicious / "exploity" in my book...

I really hope this doesn't mean your going to nerf the damage of the Storm Knight Plate Proc.

If you do the set will be useless. It used to give TWO SPELL DAMAGE BONUSES. You guys changed this to TWO SPELL RESISTANCE BONUSES, to compensate you increased the damage of the proc...if you reduce the proc damage, then you better give back those two spell damage bonuses or the set is absolutely completely useless and not worth using at all.

The set would be perfectly fine with just fixing the proc chance to its stated 10%. Anything else, and its useless....I will be so disappointed if the only Lighting themed armor set for my Sorc is rednered useless...I have been waiting over a year for this set and Thunderous Plate to get up to date versions......just fix the proc rate and leave the rest of it alone please...

Is ZOS permabanning everyone using this exploiting set? Where is the official statement?

Taylor_MB · September 2016

"Storm Knight’s Plate: Increased the amount of pulsing Shock Damage from this item set to 4374 Shock Damage to all enemies around you from 1150 Shock Damage."

Am I missing something here? is it also changed to instant damage instead of DoT?

jhharvest · September 2016

No, just what it says. Tooltip for the tick is 4374 instead of 1150.

This can hardly come as a surprise to you when looking back at over two years of just about zero action taken against exploiting broken skills and gear.

Me exploiting broken skills/gear? Nice attempt, just look at your signature to know the results.

IxskullzxI · September 2016

ZoS really shouldn't ban people for using sets like this. Yeah they are broken and super annoying to play against, but it's their fault it's in the game. If they don't want people using them, fix it. It's pretty sad that they can't take the time to fix their game so they ban people for their mistakes. That's just my opinion, though.
