I tried this on pts. now you can't use this set for any light heavy attacks, as its +20% magic damage only which limits it to a few nb attacks and that's it plus its not even a light armour set. how about making it a more effective set for nb stam + magicka in general by making bonus 1 spell and weapon damage and 5th bonus just +20% damage from stealth not just magik damage. again another set nerfed into the floor.

    To be fair, I doubt OP takes this set into trials..

    Just needs to be changed to light armor and arcane jewel. 20% mag dmg is still usable with cloak to proc super empowered grim crits, its just less usable for gank opening attacks.

    Well, the 15% heavy attack damage nerf already made it kind of useless for the inferno staff version.

    This change just cements that everyone wearing Stygian has to either go for the 2H ulti version or the less viable DW Merciless Resolve one.


    Good job ZOS on introducing more build diversity...

    RIP Stygian! Will now be deconned by the very few players that used it as part of their niche builds. It's a shame really.

    The new version should not work on 2h ult any more. Just a guess, I've not tested it. Its still a fine niche set for any class with a high damage nuke spell, or at least it would be as light armor with arcane jewels.
