New PvP Sets

"Six new item sets available from the Alliance War leaderboards and Rewards for the Worthy mails"

Hopefully not just existing sets being added to the rewards, but not actual new sets.

The new trial sets are described as adding group-based PvE bonuses... so hopefully won't have to run trials for some good gear.

Existing ones.
No way they add something so that PvE heroes would actually have to step a foot into Cyrodiil.

I wonder what group based PVE means. Does it mean these sets will not work in PvP.

Same here.

@ZOS_GinaBruno any chance we can know if they're entirely new sets before PTS hits? :P Just curious.

Probably like the existing trial sets. Will buff something for up to 12 members. So they'll work in pvp, but seeing as groups can exceed 12 it probably means they'd be less use.

My assumption anyway.

"the next 6 crappiest sets from existing pvp sets that you used to have access to but were phased out because we wanted to sell more DLCs."

Fixed it for you Mano. Inc well fitted curse eater pieces! Who else is psyched!?

Wrobel on dat itemization spec xD

Manoekin

If it's just more vendor pieces put in mails I'll be pretty pissed. However, they're adding the faction set motiffs to the game so I can have a huge ass eagle shield again. That's nice. A lot of interesting motiffs being added actually. I wanna see what Malacath looks like cause that's my boy right there. Me and that axe go way back.

Hopefully it's new sets. Also crossing my fingers that the new crafted/dropped sets have new/fun mechanics to them instead of just stat increases that I'll only want 3-4 pieces of. More proc effects/specialized build sets are really needed in this game. Actual good ones too.

If you get the Malacath trophy from Wrothgar, use it then have someone interrupt you, the axe sticks so you can run around with it. It's literally the best thing ever.

I hope these new motifs are leading up to a more comprehensive customization system! If I know the motifs, I want to be able to switch around my own gear's looks with the same ease as dyeing the armor. Also I hope the rewards for the worthy mails get fixed for maxed-out players, we need to give them incentives to keep playing on their high-level characters! Why should they be punished for being so cool?

Ahzek

@Manoekin Get someone with Pariah/Hunt Leader/succession to show you malacaths style. I wonder what the weapons will look like though.

O RLY?

Reminds me of the times where you could /leanbackcoin a staff while in mid combat. Funniest (*^# ever!

I wish more PvP sets would be released to buff abilities that really aren't popular in PvP. I mean wouldn't it finally be neat if Wall of Elements really did "melt people?"

Where did they talk about these new sets?

Just mentioned. No details about any of the new sets that I know of.

I mean their idea of a WoE master weapon was for it to make your light attacks do more damage. If that's all they can do for it with a master weapon... I doubt a set bonus will make a difference.

I can see it now, 5 piece bonus "Enemies standing in your WoE have their Health Regen set to 0."

Now they'll totally melt in WoE!

Meanwhile... at Zenimax Online Studios...

Wrobel: "LOOK! Someone else had the same balance idea as me!"
Gina: "No Eric, you're being mocked. He's a troll."
Wrobel: "He most certainly is not. Why would you think that?"
Gina: "He's a sorc ffs."
Wrobel: "That doesn't mean -"
Gina: "Yes, yes it does. It always means exactly that. You can't honestly expect me to put this in the patch notes."
Wrobel: "Well, it's already in the code for the next patch, I guess we can change the skill to have some kind of effect with fully charged heavy attacks in 8 months. On a side note, do you think templars are too strong? I feel like burning light should proc less often."
Gina: *muttering* "I wonder if City State Entertainment is hiring, Camelot Unchained seems to be more popular than ESO and it hasn't even made beta yet..."

Peel_Ya_Cap_517

I actually would just be happy if they upgraded some of the old sets to V16 and made them Rewards for the Worthy-able

TheBull

It will be old gear. Like the Cov/Pact/Dom gear. Plus Twin Sisters, Curse eater, and some random even worse new set.

They believe if they put good gear in Cyrodiil no one would buy the DLC.

DKsUnite

while i would love new and different sets for PvP it's not going to happen.... ever.

what i might take as a substitute is for rewards/bags to drop vr16 versions of the old beloved sets

things like:
- warlock
- archers mind
- akaviri dragon set
- stygian
- magicka furnace
- necropotence
- syrabane
etc.

These are all really good sets and i know i would have tons and tons of build ideas if these sets hit vr16 and i know they would be really saught after

Telel

A five piece medium set that causes all magika based healing to be doubled!

With the well-fitted trait.

Telel demands this become a thing.

Alcast

Existing ones:

Roben des Ansturms (Onslaught)
Veränderungsbeherrschung (Alteration Mastery)
Falkenauge (Hawk's Eye)
Schattengänger (Shadow Walker)
Duroks Fluch (Durok's Bane)
Rüstung der Wahrheit (Truth).

Updated duroks bane with crit resist would be nice

does that healing debuff of duroks stack with healdebuff from things like poison inj or reverb bash?

Cinbri

Kinda think pve group based sets are like sets from IC - Powerful Assault, Meritorious Service, i.e. sets that useless without group. Also hope we will hear about craftable sets, coz IC craftable sets were meh.

Yes it stucks, but it is multiplicative, not aditive.
BTW Duroks set procs onnly when you are damaged by single target attack. It doesnt proc on AoE attacks. I dont know is it a bug or it is a feature.
