"Stygian: This item set no longer increases your Spell Damage and Max Magicka by 20% while sneaking or invisible; instead, it increases your damage done with Magicka abilities by 20% while sneaking or invisible."
A.) set is still medium ...?
B.) I assume you still can't sneak-attack with a magicka ability? except maybe veiled strike?
they should have at least change it to light armor no...?

the set seems worse than before if this was possible?Edited by Nemesis7884 on April 19, 2017 9:11AM4 -

✭✭✭✭✭The Set bonus is different from the Sneak Attack bonus. You still can't sneak attack with Magic but this set is adding the damage buff to an attack you do while Hidden anyway. I'm guessing this is ZOS's way of trying to give Magic users some kind of means to Gank?CP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

✭I guess only stamina nb gankers would benefit from this with surprise attack. Even tho patch notes say crit will be removed from stealth, SA will still stun.
I say stamina because I've never tried ganking with a magica nb0 -

but then making it medium armor?
so basically you need a 5 set bonus to get an inferior sneak attack with a wrong armor set you can get fro free if you play a stamina build...? good job
maybe im not creative enough but i don't see the point...and surprise attack is a stamina ability and no stamina nb would use concealed weapon - besides, sets shouldnt be class minded but open for all...
I would like a set with a more magicka focused assassin in mind and this could be it if they only put some thought into it...maybe im stupid but i don't see any improvement nor how this could workEdited by Nemesis7884 on April 19, 2017 9:20AM1 -

✭✭✭✭Stygian won't drop in Arcane, sorry @Valera Progib It still confuses me why Stygian gives magicka bonuses as medium armour and Prisoner's Rags give stam bonuses as light armour.

Kerioko✭✭✭✭The 20% magicka was what was nice about this set. It was only useful on a very niche mNB gank/bombblade build and was usually combined with necro to get around 60K magicka while in stealth. This made opening with an empowered flame staff from heavy give insane damage.Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets - Argonian mNB Tank/Heals (PVP)

Araviel2✭✭✭why do we have to change it to light armor? i sometimes need medium magica sets to be able to build undaunted mettle builds. i don´t get it why people always wants us to build less diversive. we need more odd sets, not less so please keep it medium.

however...
From patch notes:
"Sneak attacks no longer grant a bonus to Critical Damage when used against other players. Sneak attacks will continue to guarantee a Critical Strike and stun the target, and will also still grant a bonus to Critical Damage when used against monsters."

✭✭✭✭✭diversity is great if it works which it doesnt with the current framework - i'd also prefer to have a framework that makes hybrids viable as i personally love hybrid rpg characters more than "pure bloods".... but within the current framework making it light armor would actually make it interesting0 -

no you are wrong, it does currently work because this set comes in jewlery and weapons too.
making it light would break the undaunted mettle builds that it works for and force us towards more booring monster helmet builds if we want to work whit mettleAraviel -Professional Zerg surfing mutagen spammer [DC-EU]0 -
FlyLionel✭✭✭✭I guess only stamina nb gankers would benefit from this with surprise attack. Even tho patch notes say crit will be removed from stealth, SA will still stun.
I say stamina because I've never tried ganking with a magica nb

Oh I have the necessary sets for a bomb blade, but I rarely use my magica nb in pvp after I maxed out my stam one. I usually go Azura because I don't want to mess up my pve cp by going TF.0 -
DreadKnight✭✭✭✭RIP another set.
why, why, why do you spend so much resource on developing sets and then nerf them to the ground ZOS?
why don't you just reduce the sets to 10 sets that everybody uses and delete the 50 or so that you wasted our money on developing?0 -

I haven't messed with proxy det for a loong time.... pretty much after they nerfed it (a year ago or more now?). I'm I reading the tool tip wrong? The dmg just doesn't seem worth it? Is this one of these builds that you would need multiple people bombing simultaneously to make it worth it? How is a bomblade even practical now? I'd luv to have a tool against the zerg hordes... I wouldn't mind getting murdered, but I'd like to bust their chops a bit. The zerging is getting pretty ridiculous.0 -

best thing that could have happened would have been ZOS raising the gear level... then there might have been enuff pitchforks and torches to get them to rethink some of the changes. As it is, what is PTS will be almost completely unchanged.0 -

OH GOD please not, more stories, more sets, more skill lines, more horizontal optionas and variety and make hybrid builds viable through some changes - but no vertical increase...0 -
