Ayleid Torc Lead Location....why?

So a mythic designed specifically to be useful for newer players...all 5 of the leads for this mythic drop only from muniment chests in the Infinite Archive, which (due to both incoming damage and mechanics) is (while easy for more experienced players) rather difficult for newer players.

Seems an odd choice.
Was rather put out as I was planning on using it for my new characters on a new server (starting from scratch - no CP, no friends to help out with crafted gear or power levelling) - seemed the perfect stopgap until I could unlock some full gear sets....only to find out this mythic is essentially out of my reach.

Suggested change: make all 5 of the leads drop from base-game low level content (+ allow it to be equip-able from level 10 onwards?)

    I doubt that this mythic is designed for new players. By the time you get the level to scry/excavate them, you are not a new player anymore.

    you cannot, mythics only exist at cp160

    if by new players, i think they mean new players as in their first cp160

    i personally think its more intended for no proc cyro as a quick "swap out 1 piece of gear" instead of figuring out an entire no proc build

    I don't really see it as a new player intended, as it's power budget is non existent compared to any other option. Maybe if person can't collect a single set it's fine, but unsure what such player would do in RPG game. No CP Cyro is more likely one.

    yeah i seen that reported, but theres no reason it should not work, as its bonus is not a proc, its all flat stats unless the "proc" is that it disables all your other gear, but theres been no confirmation if this is intended or not

    It is probably exactly that. Technically, disabling set bonuses is conditional. Since you can effectively wear all non set gear and the mythic is not proccing at all because there is nothing to disable. Or you can wear varying amounts of set gear pieces that all have to be disabled. Or all 1 pieces of sets that require no disabling because there are no set bonuses active on your front bar, but then you bar swap and suddenly have 3 pieces active with a weapon and the mythic is "proccing" to disable those set pieces.

    does oakensoul work in no proc? that one is also basically passive except it disables your bar swap

    Oakensoul has no way to be turned on and off in combat or out of combat without unequipping it. What makes a set considered to be a proc is that it has conditions that can be triggered by doing something. Oakensoul just is. Torc has conditions that can turn on and off depending on how you set your build up.

    how is disabling bar swap not a "proc" but disabling other set bonuses is? it doesnt make any sense

    its already bad enough that pariah set works in no proc cyro, which itself is a proc that gives you scaling armor based on how full your health is

    my understanding of no proc cyro is that when new sets are added the devs have to manually go in and add the flag to allow the set to work in no proc, and there have been cases where actual non-proc flat stat sets have been missed and didnt work in no proc (sometimes for years)

    Again:

    Disable Bar Swap - There is now zero way to even remotely enable bar swap. It is a static shut down of that function. Not a proc. It is permantent until the mythic is removed.

    Disable set bonuses - Set bonuses on builds are not static. Likely, the mythic is checking to see if there is a set bonus active and then shutting it off. So, if you have a set piece on your back bar, EVERY time you bar swap, the mythic is needing to proc to shut off the set bonus. Every time. That is a proc.

    Oakensoul has zero conditions tied to it outside of equipping the item. Torc has conditions tied to it that can literally trigger when you bar swap.

    And I'd argue that Pariah shouldn't work in no proc.

    I'm basing this off of ZOS' explanation in 2021 of how/why they consider things procs.

    Oaken is similar to Hundings. The effect is permanent. There is no server side check required to see if your back bar should be disabled or not. It just is once you put on the set. Just like the stats provided by hundings is just active the moment the set is equipped.

    Torc is absolutely conditional though. It can either need to suppress set bonus or not need to suppress them depending on how you setup the build. That conditional nature of its effect is right in line with the conditional nature of pretty much every set considered a proc, barring a few outliers.

    Regardless of whether or not it should or should not be considered a proc, it's primary use case is nonfunctional which is ridiculous.

    how would the ayleid mythic *not* suppress them? i would think since it says disables all effects that it means that, it 100% suppression from the moment you equip it, it shouldnt matter if you say back barred hundings or not (for example) the effect is never going to be active if you have this equipped, not sure why it would require to recheck that every time you bar swapped, which would be a waste of server resources to have to redo that check every time you bar swapped

    edit to add: the no proc cyro is clearly also just using a flag to say if a set is enabled or not, it has nothing to do with the semantics of what is actually considered a proc because its manually set for each set

    thats why you get stuff like pariah (clearly a proc that works in no proc), and there have been a history of sets that were not procs that were still disabled in no proc

    im basing my theory that this is a bug because the effect of the ayleid mythic itself is purely passive, regardless how its disabling the other sets the actual bonus of the mythic is not a proc and should be enabled to work in the no proc environment

    how is disabling bar swap not a "proc" but disabling other set bonuses is? it doesnt make any sense

    its already bad enough that pariah set works in no proc cyro, which itself is a proc that gives you scaling armor based on how full your health is

    my understanding of no proc cyro is that when new sets are added the devs have to manually go in and add the flag to allow the set to work in no proc, and there have been cases where actual non-proc flat stat sets have been missed and didnt work in no proc (sometimes for years)

    Again:

    Disable Bar Swap - There is now zero way to even remotely enable bar swap. It is a static shut down of that function. Not a proc. It is permantent until the mythic is removed.

    Disable set bonuses - Set bonuses on builds are not static. Likely, the mythic is checking to see if there is a set bonus active and then shutting it off. So, if you have a set piece on your back bar, EVERY time you bar swap, the mythic is needing to proc to shut off the set bonus. Every time. That is a proc.

    Oakensoul has zero conditions tied to it outside of equipping the item. Torc has conditions tied to it that can literally trigger when you bar swap.

    And I'd argue that Pariah shouldn't work in no proc.

    if that is truly how they implemented it, that would be really poor way to handle it

    but as ive mentioned in other spots, we have not had any confirmation if this is working as intended or not

    i dont see disabling sets as a proc, and if it was implemented that way, it would be a horrid use of server resources constantly having to check every time you rezoned or bar swapped

    for oaken and bar swap, bar swap is "enabled" by default, and the condition is disabling it, just like how wearing a set is "enabled" the set, and this mythic is disabling it, and unless theres some official statement on this (as neither of us are devs on the game and both speculating), im taking it as a bug that the ayleid mythic does not work in no proc

    I'm basing this off of ZOS' explanation in 2021 of how/why they consider things procs.

    Oaken is similar to Hundings. The effect is permanent. There is no server side check required to see if your back bar should be disabled or not. It just is once you put on the set. Just like the stats provided by hundings is just active the moment the set is equipped.

    Torc is absolutely conditional though. It can either need to suppress set bonus or not need to suppress them depending on how you setup the build. That conditional nature of its effect is right in line with the conditional nature of pretty much every set considered a proc, barring a few outliers.

    how would the ayleid mythic *not* suppress them? i would think since it says disables all effects that it means that, it 100% suppression from the moment you equip it, it shouldnt matter if you say back barred hundings or not (for example) the effect is never going to be active if you have this equipped, not sure why it would require to recheck that every time you bar swapped, which would be a waste of server resources to have to redo that check every time you bar swapped

    edit to add: the no proc cyro is clearly also just using a flag to say if a set is enabled or not, it has nothing to do with the semantics of what is actually considered a proc because its manually set for each set

    thats why you get stuff like pariah (clearly a proc that works in no proc), and there have been a history of sets that were not procs that were still disabled in no proc

    im basing my theory that this is a bug because the effect of the ayleid mythic itself is purely passive, regardless how its disabling the other sets the actual bonus of the mythic is not a proc and should be enabled to work in the no proc environment

    It is the same reason that a 5 piece set back barred isn't active on the front bar. The game doesn't consider the set equipped fully until you are on the bar that has the final pieces. So the Torc isn't needing to suppress anything on your back bar until you are actually on your back bar. At which point, it likely has to proc to suppress the set bonus that just became active on bar swap. Then when you swap back, it no longer has to suppress that set bonus, so the proc is no longer actively doing so.

    And to be clear, I am not speaking to whether this should be allowed in the no-proc campaign or not. I am only pointing out how this could be considered proc by ZOS's standards on what makes a proc a proc. Which was the original statement raised that I responded to.

    Oakensoul has no way to be turned on and off in combat or out of combat without unequipping it. What makes a set considered to be a proc is that it has conditions that can be triggered by doing something. Oakensoul just is. Torc has conditions that can turn on and off depending on how you set your build up.

    the ayleid king mythic has no conditions

    it 1) disables other set bonuses and 2) has its own supplied fixed stats

    it would be stuff like that as part of the reason why nobody likes playing in no proc, partly because its not clearly indicated a set is working or not, and partly because of stuff that makes no sense like this

    still i would like something more official on if this is working as intended or not, as it very well could not

    Remember that in the original testing even sets that only granted a named buff were considered procs and were therefore disabled. Chudan's second piece did not work, for example. That seems analogous to Oakensoul. Only 19 sets were actually fully functional in that original no-proc scheme based on their technical definition of proc ("process") sets. Not a single one had a named buff. They were all generic stat lines.

    Sometimes they miss things in judging whether new sets should work in no-proc. Order's Wrath, for example, originally did not grant its fifth piece bonus in no-proc. We can only speculate why. I have to wonder if it was because the critical damage stat is capped and so the game has to check for how much of the Order's Wrath bonus should apply. The set was later updated to work in no-proc while respecting the crit dam cap. We might see the same adjustment here.
