Pirate Skeleton needs to be fixed....

techprince

Following are the issues :
1) When triggered, block drops for split second.
2) When triggered, skills lock up for a second or two. Sometimes bugs and all skills gets locked up completely.
3) While in effect, weapon floating near feet.

The entire cause of these issues is the transformation itself. What if you remove the transformation and add a different magic effect instead?

Yep, I had to start wearing the skellie polymorph when using this set. It's incredibly frustrating to die because of a lock up from a stupid transformation that doesn't even need to be there in the first place, regardless of what happens on that boss fight.

And this issue isn't just on PTS, it's happened since the set was implemented.

ZOS please make a game that works.


Don't know why this is always such a big ask.

Pirate Sekelton also needs a nerf. Especially on shield builds it's pathetic ^^

That's the reason i wear Slimecrawl over that, even if there wasnt brief skill lockout while transforming still wouldnt wear it because i cant stand that skeleton look.

Yes it shouldnt apply to shields, period.

I guess this set is all about looks > functionality

Would require a complete rework of the mechanic.

That would mean NBs minor protection should also not work on magicaNBs shields for example.

I would say it's also too strong on non shield builds (same as Troll King and Malubeth) to be honest. I think everyone will run one of this 3 sets next update and I'm not looking forward to this.

Damn no comment from devs on these issues?

Wearing the skeleton polymorph didn't fix the problem last I tested. it still was causing block to drop and a brief lockout of skills.

Like most bugs I've encountered, been reported for several months and absolutely no response from ZoS on the issue.

Come back on your sorc

Not to mention that while wearing Pirate Skeleton, others can't see you.


Or rather, they see parts of you, which, while a visual bug and not impacting gameplay, is still annoying and immersion-breaking.

Cry cry whine whine sniffle..... nerf this because I cannot wait for a few seconds for the cool down to kill that pesky player. Hhmmmm sounds about right.

Uhm did you even read ? The skills are locking up for the player using the set. This thread's about the set being bugged. Unless you meant the few mandatory and irrelevant "nerf" comments.

DKsUnite

who cares about the transformation, the heal debuff can be purged off so its a free 30% dmg reduction... thats the real *** thing about this set...

It seems to have worked for both stalker and I. After I started using the skellie morph, I didn't notice any lockups when I heard the sound of the set activating.

If nothing happens with monster sets in general, probably. Alternatives such as chudan/bloodspawn simply don't measure up. Chudan can be nice on a sorc with no boundless, bloodspawn not so much but alrightish on other classes, skeleton will take the lead there easily, at least for setups with damage shields. Doesn't help that it's bugged too...

Bloodspawn is great when used in duo or trio and lights champion as the ultimate of choice for the sorc.

How did you manage to purge the effect?

I have not been able to replicated that behavior with efficient purge nor cleanse.

They're all good in the end, based on what you want to achieve, but pirate outshines them all by far, especially for 1vX.

Pirate Skeleton is too strong with shields. Would rather see a nerf to PS than another one to sorcs.

Just tested it a minute ago and still broken. An easy way to test is transform, then hold block and wait for the skeleton buff to end. When it does, your block drops. This is with wearing a skeleton polymorph.

Yeah, we don't use block much on the build Drax is talking about. Only time it impacts us is when a meteor hits as it transforms and can't block the meteor. Needs to be fixed.

Use any of these and you won't turn into a skeleton, but do gain the buff.

Exactly, no % reduction should work on shield period.

Only resistances dont affect shields , everything else does , and if zos try to change that , they will probably broken smting rly hard xD.

Yeah got killed a few times tonight because of this thinking I'm using one ability but actually still stuck in previous bar. Sad considering how fast paced you need to be when getting zerged
