Is It True - The Developer's Didn't Like the Warlock Set

Personofsecrets

I recently heard that Developer's, possibly on ESO Live, explained that they thought the Vestiment's of the Warlock set was bad for the game. Is this statement based in truth at all? Is there a source in which I can view ESO developers discuss the Warlock Set and talk about removing it from the game?

Please post the source of this idea if it is true. Thank you.

Have never heard that.

I don't know is they said it but around a year ago they did nerf the ring drops for somewhere around 6 months to the point that ring prices rose to 28k+ gold. It took me three to four months of farming on my mage just to get two rings, Rings are still the hardest part of the set to get but prices have fallen considerably to between 2-4k gold.

For a long time the v12 rings have been bought and sold between 200 (blue early patch 1.4) -1000k (purple late 1.6) gold

Sorry I meant to say the VR1 rings, when I was just getting my mages to VR1 Zenimax seems to have nerfed the drops on Warlock rings. Since my mage isn't my main character her leveling is slower and currently only VR10 still.

It was best in slot when resource management was a thing. The funny thing is that although they did effectively nerf resource management for a short time, you can have the same up time now with less trade offs.

The addition of the willpower jewelry set and buff to power enchants was a clear attempt at pushing back on unlimited resources, but they have completely lost control of their game. Even after rendering almost all of the pre-patch armor sets outdated by leaving them at VR14.

Double yup. No issue.

Agreed, people basically have warlock sustain now and don't even need the set.

The Warlock set problem was mostly about the fact that it was the only set to use for a long time. You either used it or you didn't have it for the bulk of magicka builds.

Well, that is just how a metagame works. There is the best in slot gear and then there is the gear that nobody uses. I don't mean to undermine your point though. You are right.

Never heard or heard of a statement like that concerning Warlock and there were many asking when the V12's were pretty much taken out of the game for all intents and purposes.
