Monster helm changes

MrDerrikk

For those that don't want to wade through the PTS patch notes, here are the changes for the monster helms:

• Lord Warden: Increased the proc chance of this item set to a 50% chance when you take damage, from 6%.
• Maw of the Infernal
  The Daedroth summoned by this item set now moves and turns while casting his Fiery Breath, similar to the behavior of Crematorial Guards.
  Increased the damage of the Daedroth’s basic attacks by 15%. The Fiery Breath damage remains unchanged.
• Molag Kena: Fixed an issue where the 2-piece Overkill bonus would still proc if you used an ability that did not have a cost in between the two Light Attacks.
• Nightflame: Increased the healing done of the totem summoned by this item set by 200%.
• Spawn of Mephala: Increased the proc chance of this item set to a 100% chance when you hit with a fully-charged Heavy Attack, up from 50%.
• Valkyn Skoria
  The meteor summoned from this item set can no longer be reflected.
  Increased the proc chance of this item set to a 6% chance when damaging an enemy with a damage over time effect, from 4%.
  Increased the damage on the meteor summoned by this item set by 10%.

What do you all think? Any of these interest you enough to want to use them over other sets? I personally love the Skoria and Bogdan changes and will be playing around with them.

Nightflame/Bogdans is still useless... you can buff the healing by 1000% if you want, no use if it doesn't proc.

Spottswoode

Nightflames proc rate is still abysmally low and the radius remains unchanged.
Spawn of Mephala looks interesting now that it's 100%. May give that a whirl.
Infernal might make a decent set now.
Skoria change is awesome.

The set only procs on actual healing, not if the person is at 100% health. With mutagen running and a bad group, the set procs a ton.

I've seen Bogdan proc quite often on certain builds; mainly HoT-heavy builds like my NB healer. Skoria has a slight buff in proc chance, so I'm intrigued as to how much of a difference it could make.

MrDerrikk

Also, anyone notice the huge, huge buff that Warden got? Some guildies of mine were considering running it even before the buff, so they'll be happy.

Yes, and even then it will proc 3 times in a run if you're lucky.

I use Lord Warden on my tank occasionally, if I fancy having blue balls all across the floor. It did proc a fair bit, but was never enough to be counted on. Now it's a perma 4k~ resist boost for 2 slots, expect many vICP farming groups.. alongside many tears...

Warden in small group PvP will be something to play with, but the skoria reminds me of the golden days of meteor showers. I'll also play with maphala just to see if it is worth running, but lord warden still looks great to me.

I have used the set in its current form a lot, like for dozens of dungeons because I like feeling like a special snowflake. I have had it proc 5 or 6 times in like a minute, this was in the middle of a trash pulls. like I said, it does not proc on a full health person, only actual healing. i have this pic of a 10 minute fight in PVP and the proced and healed a lot for free. so it will be even better now.

Bogdan also procs quite a lot off the self-heals of Puncturing Sweeps.

Was wondering when someone would mention Maw I wonder is it's still at all useful...

Peel_Ya_Cap_517

The Mephala change is crazy too!

Mephala + Molten Armaments + CP's is gunna be crazy!

Alucardo

Unreflactable Valykn meteor, increased damage, higher proc chance.. with the buff to DoTs I see this set becoming more useful to Mag DKs again.

I'm hoping it's actually good beyond the "hey that's cool-looking" factor now, because I've got more Maw helms than anything else... And I really want that Daedroth to kick some ass.

If they are only 200k per item, Im gonna buy them just for fun, Ive over 10mill AP. I think they should cost alot more and increase your max CP, even beyond CP-cap.

That's one of the most interesting builds I've ever heard of; even if it isn't the most useful build, I'd still run dungeons with you

Spiders got nerf

Which is strange considering how little it's used.

I guess it was nerfed to offset the new synergy sets.

aLi3nZ

Considering how infrequently most of these sets are used and how hard they are to get - I think its great the changes they have made and look forward to seeing them in action and hopefully 1 day using them.

Mettaricana

With changes to wall of elements mpre dmg I'm so using my skoria again

DRXHarbinger

Is all of this true? Don't believe it. They've done some seriously good work. But us xbox mongs have to wait until the end of march for this.

Only if it can proc off each tick, otherwise it will be slightly less useless than it was

It's best used in combination with other DoTs and debuffs. It's more of a weakening attack. Definitely not something you want for heavy damage though.

Warden was useless and still will be useless.
Noticed small change in dwemer set: now when you ride on horse while robot procced - it moving with increased speed too.
