Vengeance PvE would also show who really has skills and who is just carried by sets
Re: Sorc nerfs are too heavy handed
Agree the Sorc class masteries are too low now, and notice there are no masteries for pet builds, only penalties. Really?
ZOS should never have "re-worked" one class at a time. Look how long it is taking to get to the next one, and I bet they lose interest by the time they get to the last class re-work and either forget about it or just phone in garbage.
Sub-classing was a bad idea for the game (great for me because my main class depends on it to even be competitive).
Reworking one class at a time and subclassing break things. Class masteries are supposed to be the band-aid, until they nerf that into uselessness during PTS and we are right back to broken.

Hard content is good. Honestly, the death of modern gaming can be traced to a lot of things but one of those things being making content easier so everyone can have all the things.
Hard content can be good if players get to chose if they want to do it or not.
Hard content that apparently forces groups on a playerbase that is known for liking solo play, with rubbish rewards, and has a complicated boss progression & inability to respawn at point of death, is not good.
If the rewards are rubbish then just don't do it? No one is forcing you to do it, and if by your own admission the rewards are bad, then why do you care?
I'm glad there's an event with difficult content. I'm not even a PvE player; I primarily play PvP, but I'm really looking forward to jumping into the Night Market with a bunch of friends.
Re: Sorc nerfs are too heavy handed
New mythic is interacting very strongly with shock damage and therefore bloating sorc numbers. Anyone not running this mythic is also being pushed down. I would have preferred if they added a proc limit to the new mythic instead of trying to balance the sorc class just for that one item.
Monolith is just another parse set now like siroria let's face it. Dummy cheese, but not useful in a lot of content. Monolith in current form without reliable spammable to proc this set should imo just have stayed at 600 spell damage until rework. This nerf was needed, but is way ahead of its time.
Also not a fan on how much hinges on specific playstyle or key skills. Let's say I do not want to use liquid lightning for what ever reason. Well too bad you cannot proc monolith reliably and less mythic procs. One skill change and things already start to fall apart. All of the above interacts with eachother in a specific way, and mastery system is a big win in general but I wish these outliners could be addressed somehow rather than flat nerfs that affects the class in general.
The nerf to Stativ Rev was needed imo, so I guess i'm just not happy to see monolith changed in addition. Just a reminder that a specific combination is very strong, but the moment you opt-out of one of those you end up on the losing end.
I really hope the rework will be decent because much of the friction is actually also caused by the current sorc kit.
Isn't the entire point of the mythic though to have high powered status effect synergy? How would you even go about nerfing that while avoiding making it lame.

Oh please don’t say this is so. That would immensely disappointing.

I don't care about the difficulty personally, I made rosters in guild and we'll be going for most of the rest of the week. But the rewards, complicated boss progression and the ridiculous rez thing make what could be neat, lame. Also, I said this somewhere else, but who exactly is the night market for? Solo players day it's too hard, group players will probably think it's too easy. It's the answer to a question that nobody asked. I save final judgement till I play it, my guild discords are loving the fights and bosses so far but everyone is crapping on the rewards and the grindy nature of it.

Re: Please re-balance Serpent's Disdain next
Problem isn't disdain itself but rather how overperforming status effects are as a damage source. Been overperforming for way too long as "free pressure" and is in dire need of a rework. As React suggested, status effects aside from maybe burning and poisoned ,should purely be debuffs without any damage attached to them.
Re: Night Market score visibility is skewing the results.
The results were going to be skewed from the start (preferred monster set & I think teal is a common favorite color) but you do make a good argument.

Think it does shine a light on how strong status are in general as well. It always blows my mind when I come out of a 1vX situation, and half of the top 10 damage numbers on my damage received are all status effects. I'd much prefer they shifted away from status dealing damage itself, and instead just had them apply debuffs, perhaps with an exception for burning/poisoned as those have always been the "Damage" status effects.
I disagree that the set is problematic. You said it yourself, status effects are overtuned. I think Serpent's is a fun and unique design for the set, and nerfs/reworks should be pointed at status effects themselves.
Ele Sus is also somehow still an absurd ability for 0 cost. If you couldn't get 3 status effects just for throwing on an already meta weapon on your backbar, I don't think Serpent's would be nearly as strong as it is now since you'd have to source those status effects elsewhere.
A look needs to be had at all those guaranteed ways to proc status effects that keep mounting. Too much guarantees us those extra damage procs, and more is being added every patch.
What is even the "risk" or use in comitting to something like Charged over Sharpened when any status effect is promised anyway? It is getting out of hand.
