Due to recent beam changes, the devs should revert Azureblight nerf.

simply put, Azure was only as good as it was due to proccing off of Fatecarver, which could apply 3.3 stacks per second per person. With the shift of beams to direct damage (does make sense honestly in terms of consistancy) Fatecarver will not be a primary proc source. with the origional 20 stacks, the most a single person could proc Azure was roughly once every 5 seconds using Carver, Caltrops, and a Elemental wall. With just fatecarver alone, it takes roughly 6 players running arcanist to max out the proc rate, which is why we ended up with the AzureArc meta in trash pulls. Running Caltrops, and Wall, it becomes trivial to max out the proc rate in Trial content.
Removing Fate Carver alone from the proc sources of Azure is enough to tank the set into the ground, so why leave the nerf in?

I play every class in every situation. I love them all.

SolarRune✭✭✭You're right, the only reason this set was overpowered was because of beams proccing it. If part of the subclassing hope here is one to help build diversity and give people more options, this would be a great move and promote a non-beam way to play the game that wouldn't be overpowered.2 -

✭But... if they do that, then they can't make you buy expansions to get new gear that does what the old gear was nerfed away from......
In all seriousness.... I hope they do revert it - I use it on a DK fire mage.... but I am not going to actually expect it

That's not the only reason to buy expansions, also new sets may do similar things but have a different animation and work slightly better for some builds than others.
So it's a bit of a leap to assume such a conspiracy, no?
I would also like to see the nerf reverted.0 -

✭✭I want the beam change reversed! All it did was screw my Necromancer who used Soul Assault. Yes, I'm salty [snip] about it.

mdjessup4906✭✭✭✭All nerfing azure did was take it away from all the other classes that have zero cleave because zos is obsessed with single target everything. And now arc can't even use it.
While they're at it plz revert the stupid corpse duration/limit that didnt even do anything besides make playing anything necro even more annoying.Edited by mdjessup4906 on 9 May 2025 22:044
