zenimax: consider updating essence thief

Ep1kMalware

Basically as the title says. Essence thief is a set that has a lot of potential (esp when light weaving, or with werewolf).

there's just a few issues with the set that take what looks like a great 5 piece on paper, and brings it right to the decon table:

1st, the set is bugged, sometimes runes fly up walls or other places they shouldn't.

2: the way the set procs in general is too limited by bad design. Having to track down random essence nodes while in combat is hell, esp when giving up other 5 pieces that offer static buffs. There's often so many ground effects that they're near;y impossib;e to see, and in many situations chasing them down could kill you.

I think the set effect should be added automatically on proc. If this were the case I think it would be a perfectlt viable set and contribute to build diversity.

zos did an awesome job at designing it, and its unique functionality, but the design implementation was poor and I think it's worthy of reconsideration. I've been wanting to get this thought off my chests] for months, and it looks like zenimax indeed does look at player feedback. Maybe, just maybe they'll see this and reply, or consider it, who knows.

anyone else feel that this set needs some luvins?

When it was first released, I thought it would be BiS but no one ever talked about it.

I don't know anyone that uses it. I haven't switched over other sets, that are easier to get.

Yeah and shock master the changes to stam sorc completely destroyed this set of gear meant specifically to adress stam sorc

I would love for this set to get a nice buff, along with the other IC dungeon sets that don't see much use! Shock Master is a very cool set but also needs a buff.
