[BUG] Infallible Aether & Strategy Do Not Work The Same (On multiple targets) (video included)

I was swapping from infallible aether to strategy because it's overall a nicer looking set to run as a healer, and it looks so much nicer style wise than infallible aether. And I noticed that Strategy was not working in the same way.
For infallible aether you can proc it on up to 3+ targets at the same time, which is pretty awesome and adds for some fun game play I think and a little challenge for yourself as a healer to keep it up 100% of the time on multiple targets
However with Strategy when I was using it I noticed my debuff kept getting removed, I had thought it was nerfed but it turns out the set has actually been bugged and not working the same way as infallible aether is. It can only be applied to 1 target at a time, and your previous buff will get removed from the previous target.
So Zenimax, is this a bug, or is infallible aether not meant to work on multiple targets. In my opinion I think it should work on as many targets it is applied to - it is a minor debuff not a major and it's pretty difficult to apply this to multiple targets and keep the uptime fairly high. If this is a bug with infallible aether not meant to be working how it is I think it should be kept how it is and make strategy work the same way. There is no reason why they shouldn't.
Not only ontop of this but it completely ruins a few builds and makes no reason for Strategy to even exist.

No it's just broken on strategy, and that set is better for healers if you are using it on 1 bar so you get the spell crit on your healing bar instead of minor slayer which is useless. And Celestial looks way nicer.This is not even a minor change imo.
I thought Infallible Aether was neither complained about by players nor touched (according to the Patch Notes)?
If so, I want this reverted. Not at all a good change and totally uncalled for.
It's just a set not working like the other one is, so either Infallible Aether is broken and should be working like Strategy or Strategy is broken.
Either way, I want them to both work on multiple targets, no reason why they shouldn't and it's pretty fun trying to keep it up 100%

Ahh I see. Well it's a bit worse then because Strategy was better for Healers.
I'm just hoping a response is actually posted to this thread! Definitely a strange thing to randomly break if no changes were being made to it. -
Mishanya✭✭✭No it's just broken on strategy, and that set is better for healers if you are using it on 1 bar so you get the spell crit on your healing bar instead of minor slayer which is useless.
At first view I thought the same, but check last bonus on IA. This also gives spell crit.
So IA and Strategy both are useful for healers, but IA also gives Minor Slayer and additional damage from heavy attacks. Strategy, on the contrary, have no additional bonuses, comparing to IA.
EDIT: oh, you said about 1 bar, my misread, sorry.Edited by Mishanya on December 16, 2016 1:27PMWasting time is an important part of life -
SuperLarrio✭✭✭Unless im missing something, isnt IA superior all around, even though some of it may be useless for a healer both sets have crit x2 and spell damage...
IA
spell crit
spell crit
spell damage
vulnerability
minor slayer
more damage heavy attack
strat
spell crit
spell crit
spell damage
vulnerability
edit*** i missed only on one bar also lol

✭✭✭✭✭Why did you expect it to let you place bombs on multiple targets?
Has it ever worked that way in the past?
Are you thinking of the same set?
Nifty is talking about Infallible Aether and Strategy.
By your description of it, the set that lets you "place bombs" is actually a different set altogether. You're probably thinking about Destructive Mage.
As for Infallible Aether and Strategy the answer is simple - Yes, it did used to apply to multiple targets.
This is why a thread was created. It's either a bug or a ninja nerf

✭✭✭✭✭Yeah I had to edit the title, I was wondering what the hell was happening with my debuff, I can't believe it doesn't work on multiple targets. I'm so sad because it looks so nice.
I hope you are able to hotfix this in zos or a future patch if possible.
@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom any feedback?Really, idk -

Updated. These all sound so similar to me. -

✭I'd really like to know if there is an ETA on getting a fix for that... it's pretty simple we just want the same abilities to debuff several targets on strategy as we can with infaillible aether @ZOS_GinaBrunoEdited by Sotha_Sil on December 20, 2016 7:12AMRestoration is a perfectly valid school of magic, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! - Spells and incantations for those with the talent to cast them!PVE healer all classes / PVP magplar & magden -
Aumintor✭Why does even the Strategy set exist in the first place? It doesn't provide any bonuses over what Infallible Mage already provides. Infallible is just better overall from what I can see.
And on top of that Strategy can't debuff more than one target? It makes no sense. They should just scrap the Strategy set altogether as it is now.
Has Zenimax still not acknowledged these issues? -

✭✭Hoping strategy is a poor mans IA.
I always runs my sharpened IA lightning staff and precise IA resto as healer.
Would be crap if the hardest to get BIS healing gear becomes worthless.Edited by KingYogi415 on January 15, 2017 4:35AM
