Viper, Tremorscale and Selene are the problem, not procsets in general

I am afraid that in an order to fix the sets named above, ZOS will absolutely destroy those sets which are fairly balanced right now. Skoria, Nerien'eth and Grothdarr and even Red Mountain are all examples on how procsets should work, either tied to conditions of procing or moderate damage and not this "Scratch your bum, deal 5K Damage, 4s cooldown"-BS like it currently is with Viper, Selene and Tremorscale. Ridiculous damage tied to high procchances and easy conditions with small cooldowns is what making those sets absolutely broken, especially in NoCP.

A good example for a set that has been absolutely destroyed in the past by a blanket nerf is Overwhelming Surge, absolutely useless now - used to be surprisingly good for niche builds.

@ZOS_RichLambert @Wrobel
Please look at each set individually and don't do blanket changes.

    The biggest problem with viper is that there is no telegraped animation. No, it just hits, every 4 seconds. It's so cheesy it's unreal. In a duel it is absolute cancer when paired with selene. When you cc a target and get lucky, its viper+selene proc+execute = dead. Totally *** rng combat. It's driving me nuts. I generally don't like the burst procs. As dots they would be fine imo.

    Selene can be dodged. Viper needs no telegraph, it simply hits every 4 seconds.
    Pro tip - use evasion, roll dodge or simply block, if stamina user. CCing helps as well. If magicka user, spam shields.

    The only set you mentioned in this whole thread that is under-performing is Nerien'eth. I'd argue all the fire damage based monster sets are just as strong as the other proc sets. Im not saying the ones you have mentioned are not over-performing though.

    This thread is also very stamina biased.



    Edit:
    Please look at each set individually and don't do blanket changes.

    I very much agree with this statement. Removing criticals from proc sets made the problem worse. Technically a heavy armour build using procs wont get much value if they could still crit compared to a medium/light build that has higher crit. Reducing proc damage/healing accross the board by 50% but allowing them to crit would have made it more balanced then just straight removing crit.

    I also believe each set needs to be adjusted individually, will require more work but will be vastly better then blanket fixes.

    We need procs to scale with players weapon/spell damage / weapon/spell critical / weapon/spell penetration. That way you cant stack procs or use them in heavy armour and expect to have the same value compared to a dps class with actual damage boosting sets and say 1 proc set.

    How are they the problem?
    When you're talking about a nerf, what kind of nerf?

    "I feel like you just throw out stupid ideas without no thought behind them"

    Whining about something but not providing reasoning is kinda, pointless.

    -You could say that the amount of damage that they provide overshadows any +weapon +spell damage set bonus
    -You could say that these sets have too high of a base damage, leading to players being able to stay tanky while doing a moderate amount of damage


    You could provide potential solutions such as:
    -Proc sets scale with resources, such that gaining high damage requires the player to sacrifice survivability
    -You could suggest that Selene should function as a Ground Targeted AoE that has a 1 second delay before applying damage to one target in the AoE. Think Stormfist functionality (but reduced time for final damage tick and no damage during initial tick)

    These are simple suggestions.

    Red mountain?

    The issue is they don't scale off weapon damage and spell damage so you don't have to build any damage to still get all this damage which I think is an issue. Huge amounts of free damage is just really hard to balance.

    You redesign the whole thing so that the sets don't give a lot of weapon or spell damage (give other offensive stats), then have the proc scale off WD or SD (like ultimates)

    Whining? Its not my thread.

    I was pointing out not all proc sets are the problem and the last time proc sets were nerfed they were all equally effected, including the near useless ones.

    Scaling could be an idea, but some of the broke ones need individually adjusting, viper needs it proc chance dropped annd its damage dropped, maybe a cooldown increase.

    A global cooldown for all proc sets so they can't be stacked.

    They also shouldn't go off if the player wearing them dies, looking at you skoria

    If you change any into having a delay they automatically become useless in pvp.

    The Difference between Skoria for example and Selene is, that Skoria is tied to Dots, to somewhat of a condition, Selene to any damage with a higher procchance and let's not even talk about Viper. Also Selene hits way harder, 1p Bonus is a "Damage" Bonus etc. Not biased against Stamina, just want Balance.
    Also, I agree that Red Mountain is overpowered on Sorc but it is somewhat balanced on a Stamina Character.
    Grotharr deals a ton of damage. Its just not burst but provides AoE and reveal utility. Very strong
    Yep, very strong but not brokenly OP most likely because its a DoT and not 6K Burst.

    It is absolutely useless, ticks for 500 Damage. Used to be somewhat good, sad it is not anymore :/

    Skoria auto hits and is aoe

    You can stack multiple dots while you can only do a certain amount of melee attacks in a second.

    Max hp is just as good as max stam.

    Red mountain isn't balanced at all. Even on a stam character.

    You can do 3 Melee attacks a second, 2 when using a 2H without gimping yourself, either 45% or 30% procchance, lol
    3 most common dots on a magicka DK give you a 24% procchance but it requires 3 seconds to put them up. For selene it is just 30%/45% chance a second. Not quite the same isn't it

    Skoria is somewhat balanced IMO since you´re forced to run a DoT in order for it to proc. The more dots = higher proc-chance. But with dots you sacrifice some burst potential. The tooltip dmg is one thing. If that´s to strong then tweak it a little bit.

    Yes, Anne you make a very good point. Nobody is complaining about Ashen Grip or Song of Lamae on their death recap.

    Most of the proc sets are pretty crappy actually, only a few are overperforming. And there are a lot of these sets that proc damage shield, healing or other effects.

    No need to nerf everything in this game with proc component, simply adjust the specific sets like Selene and Viper that might benefit from slight damage reduction

    No need to nerf everything in this game with proc component, simply adjust the specific sets like Selene and Viper that might benefit from slight damage reduction

    100% agree, I even forgot Ashen Grip exists

    Just reducing the damage of proc sets doesn't fix the problem. Problem being it doesn't matter what stats you have to obtain this damage. For example i could have 100% of my character spec'd into health and still use viper + seleane and be granted 12k proc damage in pvp every 4 seconds with 0 actual tooltip damage on my abilities.

    Scaling is the best option.


    Edit: Better yet i could use my literal fists. No weapons at all and kill people with proc sets.

    In my opinion, while tied to certian conditions, in builds that focus on achieving those skoria outperforms every other procc set by miles (except mabye viper).
    It does just as much damage as the rest, which is also the strongest type of dmg in PvP, has a significant AoE component and is entirely unavoidable. Couple that with a very low CD and ridiculous procc chance and it proccs more often than both selene and veli, but hits just as hard.

    Most other procc sets are still OP and unhealthy to the game, but skorias actually takes the crown, especially considering mDKs are incidentally one of the strongest builds right niw, even without skorias.

    If you want to see balanced procc sets look at those that allow for interaction with the target, like nerieneth (which is actually underperforming) or stormfist, even veli to a certain extent when you can keep a small distance. Give players ways to actively react to the dmg these sets deal and they will be fine, both for PvE and PvP.

    Selene can be dodged. Viper needs no telegraph, it simply hits every 4 seconds.
    Pro tip - use evasion, roll dodge or simply block, if stamina user. CCing helps as well. If magicka user, spam shields.
    No *** sherlock. But at one point in the fight you will get cc'ed, and when you do and that stuff procs, you are either dead or within execute range.

    I don't think Selene is a problem at all. Viper on the other hand is ridiculously OP. I don't se many people using Red Mountain, and Skoria doesn't hit so hard without crit. I use Selene, Agility, Bone Pirate and Maelstrom 2h on a Stamplar and my Selene MAYBE hits for 4-5k regularly, but more often what I RELY on for kills is PotL. Viper, Veli, Dawnbreaker NBs are what's giving proc sets a bad name..specifically viper. I've also seen viper on my death recap being proc'd from the undodgeable cliff racer from Stamwarden.

    Lol so much salt here. Have you never heard the phrase... ye who procs 1st procs last and wins?

    Nothing beats a single crit rush into a viper+veli+red mountain instagib combo.

    Seriously stop pulling the thread. It'll all unravell and we'll have *** all left bar fist fights.

    Agree with Lee on which proc sets need nerfing tbh.

    And idk who said that RM is fine on stam characters but you clearly haven't used it with DW lol. It's disgusting, just as bad as it is on Mag Sorc if not worse cause you can pair it with selenes and viperz

    People arguing about nerfing proc sets...

    They don't need a direct nerf, just nerf the amount of proc sets you can use, 1 should be the limit.

    Some are broken either way. RM on mag sorc is awful to play against for example.

    Red Mountain on Magsorc lmao, that's some *** build to be honest and I'm sure the sorc is making enough sacrifices so the proc is alright even if it deal 10k procs he can't survive.
