Theory on why they introduced high damage instant proc sets

Very simple. The lag in cyrodil has not been fixed. zos is still trying to get people to spread out. But now they have taken it a step further. Reduce the number of people in one area/quadrant. How you may ask? Well, in ZOS infinite wisdom they probably believe that if there are less people on the battle field due to instant dying and more people running back on horseback then In theory the lag will decrease.
Which is why they introduced an op instant win destro ult. we all know that the destro ult is the ultimate Zerg buster because it wipes zergs fast. More people dying less on the battle field.
So. I believe ZOS has a real problem on their hands. They are fundamentally trying to change the core combat mechanics to combat the lag. However, no one likes a game that uses luck and rng over skill. Now they are stuck.
Folks, it's either lag or instant death. Pick your poison.

✭✭✭✭✭... I typically look at OPs name... but based on the post itself I already know who it is...
Very few people say the destro ult prior to mentioning selene, tremor scale or veli.
Though the title mentions proc sets, apparently this thread is about the destro ult?
I think the "magicka is OP" crowd is greatly outnumbered by the, "Black Rose is OP" crowd, though they've gone silent, probably out voiced by the, "Proc sets are OP!" crowd...Edited by Waffennacht on 25 October 2016 18:411 -

Lol not really meant to be good or bad lmao! (Inclined to say good... but my opinion is biased)
Anyway, I JUST morphed my ult. I really wanna see it in action (haven't seen any use it against me either)0 -

✭✭✭✭✭My theory: ZOS realized they couldn't fix the lag, so they decided to give PvP a quick and painless death"Stand strong, stay true and shelter all."

✭✭✭✭✭Ok here's my "real" answer. Just like MTG, the devs wanna give viable options to all sorts of builds. For example plenty of tanky builds have no way to finish a fight - answer this hole in the build with a proc set.
Players, being the hella efficient players they are, take these things and combine for more effective use than the orginal intent.
I say MTG because the affinity builds did this, the devs made 5 separate themes, each with cool abilities. Players took the very best from the 5 and combined it for a deck that won on turn 3...
They had to ban cards.
I think that's what happened.1 -

I think you mean that PvE got tagged onto a mostly PvP MMO, after the lag and bugs were unbearable and people were leaving in droves.
No offense, but I assume you started playing ESO around the time Tamriel Unlimited and B2P came out. Most people that started aorund that time usually think that PvP in this game was an afterthought, when it was basically their whole marketing campaign and selling point prior to launch.Edited by Sallington on 25 October 2016 19:20Daggerfall Covenant

✭✭✭✭It's pretty obvious to me that these sets are their attempt to balance PVP.
Everyone stacking shields: Shield Breaker
Everyone in Zergs: Vicious Death
OP monster helms: PVP vendor
They probably went a bit too far with some of the stamina sets now but there are still a few good ways to counter them if you're creative. I bet come the winter we have a "OMG MUST HAVE" PVP set that does double damage against heavy armor users.0
