    There is a glow. It looks just like corrosive armor ;P

    Yes, absolutely. Nerf the ring so the guy using 5 less skills and 1 less ultimate and no monster set will stop killing you. SMH. There are so many better builds in PVP than an oakensoul build. It's fun to play with and use, but by no means will you do well against someone worth their salt in PVP. I guess it needed a nerf so people stop playing with it in PVP, but then again, time would have done the same thing.

    Also, it's getting gutted in PVE. PVE, the ring is in a good spot on live. The nerf makes it worse than the Sea Serpent's Coil most of the time unless you're a disabled player with no other real option.

    Are you PvPing at all? 5 less skills are mostly the skills that you need to keep on the bar to apply those buffs. Yet you get 3 powerful buffs among them with 100% up time that is impossible to replicate on 2-bar builds. Also you spend 0 resources to keep those buffs up and on top of that you get minor version of sustain buffs. How does it sound balanced to you? And you CAN have a monster set with it. It is not a head or shoulder piece.

    You're obviously talking to a Brokensoul abuser.

    Oakensoul is very good, and very fun. Isn't fun if you aren’t using it.
    Swapping bars in big encounters isn't fun due to server performance.
    Having a powerful tool behind a paywall isn't... ethic?
    Nerfing that tool to people putting real money to support this... well.

    A good change por PvP would be letting the ring like it is now, but no one can heal you if battle spirit is active.

    They really need to before Whitestrake's. Because Oakensoul as is is going to make that event a complete nightmare.

    God, what I wouldn't give to see a MYM with full power Oakensoul and Nocturnal's Ploy running around together.

    Maybe stop asking for nerfs for a moment? Or is that the only part of PVP that's playable now?

    Remove Oakensoul from the game. A set item that BENEFITS people for PLAYING WORSE should never exist. Learn to bar swap. ITS TOLD TO YOU AT LEVEL 15.

    People don't seem to understand that losing your back bar isn't even really a "trade off" at least in pvp. Your back bar was always your buff/defensive bar. What this item does is basically make your front bar the equivalent of 10 because you just have 100% uptime of buffs you were going to have anyways except that it takes it a step further by making them majors and adding major heroism. Acting like the nerf is going to kill it in pve is just delusional because one bar builds have existed long before oaken ever existed and nerfed oaken will still be way better than the old one bar builds.

    They should just remove all mythics and procs from Grey Host for the week. It would be way more fun from both a balance and performance standpoint.

    God no oaken is aids but the no proc cyro test they did a while back was the most boring thing ever. Either you were a stam player or you didn't play at all. Procs are the only way literally any mag class is viable. Magsorc? Weak. Magblade and magcro? Complete one trick pony class for bombing. Magden? Good luck! Magdk and magplar are the literal only outliers and even then magdk without oaken to spam corrosive armor falls from completely broken to average if not below average and magplar is just a jabs bot.

    So, again, no. Go play ravenwatch if you don't want procs.
