It lasts 15seconds. Wayyy to long needs to be shorter probably 4-5 seconds with a cool down or something. I donno. I feel its broken
It occupies 5 pieces of armor, and requires you to take damage from a crit. It serves as a counter to the easily accessible major brutality and major sorcery buffs. The 15 second duration to the set is also shorter than all the duration skills that give major brutality and major sorcery.
If anything, the argument should be that it needs a duration buff.
Obvious troll. Its imbalanced in pvp. Unless you run viper veli hunt and do 70k light attacksDunno, I just tanked 4 people in light armor with this set on backbar with a light armored warden, the set can be really strong also on templar and sorc. You can slot it in one bar and use a monster set, like pirate skeleton (planning to try it) and be unkillable (with minor protection you can reach 53% damage reduction). Not sure if it need a nerf but I'm definitely having a lot of fun with it
This is what i mean the 4peice is quite good for resto destro builds. I think its stays up wayy to much especially on dks when they can pretty much negate your damage
Why aren't you crying for a nerf to Igneous Weapons? It's almost the exact opposite of Wizard's Reposte, and arguably more OP:
- Gives BOTH Major Brutality and Major Sorcery to all allies withing 28 meters
- Is a cast skill that doesn't occupy armor slots
- Lasts over 30 seconds with DK passives
- Doesn't require you to get crit hit for it to proc, like Wizard's Reposte
15% damage reduction is ALOT for pvp. Especially when it's permanent or ina zerg. It can get everyone who touches it. It needs a con to running it its waaay to op in open world
Why are you ignoring Major Brutality and Major Sorcery? 20% extra weapon and spell damage is a lot too.
The game is kinda balanced arround perma Major Sorcery/Brutality. There are plenty of different sources of those buffs for everyone and all can grant 100% uptime. It is different for Minor maim. Access to this debuff used to be much more limited. Until Wizard's Riposte ...

They did not say that, but if they didn't want everyone to run arround with Major Sorcery/Brutality they wouldn't implement so many different sources of those buffs that allow perma uptime for everyone. And all of those buff sources are roughly equal, because all of them grant easily 100% uptime. But Wizard's riposte outperforms all other sources of Minor Maim and it outperforms all other defensive sets (except for maybe a few niche situations, but overall there isn't much competition).
Even if the Minor Maim duration applied by the set would be lower by a pretty significant margin, it would be still very strong. And if something would be strong even after significant nerfs, how can it not be op?Edited by Rianai on July 14, 2017 10:28AM0 -

Why are you ignoring that 20% weapon/spell damage =/= +20% more damage done?
People go batsh*t for minor berserk, which is +8% dmg done. 15% dmg loss is huge, especially with possible 100% uptime on multiple targets.
Edit: to add to that, people grind to no end to get that divines or sharpened trait that gives them a tiny percentage of better stats and damage. I'm not saying major maim is op, but having 15s major debuff on multiple targets with the possibility to have a 100% uptime needs to be looked at in the light of those things. If the duration gets shortened it will still be viable against ganks etc. Especially with the upcoming proc set changes.Edited by Chilly-McFreeze on July 14, 2017 12:59PM0 -

This post shows the need for Wizard's Reposte to stay the same, and for better accessibility across the board for Minor Maim. ZOS' changes to CP (making everything have a counter) show that they want counters in this game. Wizard's Reposte is a great first step in the direction of counterbalance for damage buffs. The next step might be to put maim into a guild skill line so every class has access to it.0 -

With zerg logic you can make a case to nerf almost anything. I could just as easily say, "Everyone in the zerg is running 5 Juggernaut and 5 Meridia's Blessed. Everyone is invincible. Those sets must be OP."1 -

✭✭✭✭✭These posts are hilarious. I've tested this set on my Magicka Sorc, and it's weak AF compared to Reactive, which delivers massive damage reduction right when you need it most, when you're knocked down. But you don't hear anybody calling for Reactive to be nerfed, do you? Probably because the forums, like Cyrodiil, are full of Stamina proctards and scamblades.
Let's be real, this is just another nerf Sorcs thread in disguise! Leave Riposte alone.#CAREBEARMASTERRACE3 -

The difference between reactive and riposte is, that reactive doesn't debuff an potentially indefinitely amount of people and only buffs yourself. But again, if they shorten the duration you would still have an constant uptime in 1v1 since it has no cooldown. Does it refresh while active?0 -

It lasts 15seconds. Wayyy to long needs to be shorter probably 4-5 seconds with a cool down or something. I donno. I feel its broken

Thats pretty much any damage. Omg bro. Tell me a build that you never crit on. Go ahead ill wait
Even if your opponent as the minimum 10% crit chance, you're looking at 1/10 crit, during a battle where 1 attack per sec is common that's a proc every 10 secs, still giving darn near 100% up time0 -

✭✭But you cant crit on shields. So its pretty useless on Sorcs, isnt it?
You can crit shields. They simply take no crit damage.
Riposte procs when "critting" shields. Also, the 15% dmg reduction applies to the crit which procs it.
Bottom line... its an extremely strong set. Is it OP? Probably not because of the number of other available options which cause that status effect. The opportunity cost of a 5-pc bonus is quite high as well.0 -

✭✭Warriors riposte
Health
Max stam
Weapon Damage
When you deal crit damage increase damage by 15% for 15secs
People would cry for a nerf.
I just want wizards to not break cloak. Otherwise this set doesn't bother me.0 -

✭I really hate this set. If you want to use a "tanky" set then you shouldn't get BOTH spell dmg and magicka. Give it the Black Rose treatment, 1 mag, 1 stam, 1 health bonus.
Then we'll see who's merely getting free dmg reduction and who is actually building for it.PC NA

It occupies 5 pieces of armor, and requires you to take damage from a crit. It serves as a counter to the easily accessible major brutality and major sorcery buffs. The 15 second duration to the set is also shorter than all the duration skills that give major brutality and major sorcery.
If anything, the argument should be that it needs a duration buff.
Obvious troll. Its imbalanced in pvp. Unless you run viper veli hunt and do 70k light attacksDunno, I just tanked 4 people in light armor with this set on backbar with a light armored warden, the set can be really strong also on templar and sorc. You can slot it in one bar and use a monster set, like pirate skeleton (planning to try it) and be unkillable (with minor protection you can reach 53% damage reduction). Not sure if it need a nerf but I'm definitely having a lot of fun with it
This is what i mean the 4peice is quite good for resto destro builds. I think its stays up wayy to much especially on dks when they can pretty much negate your damage
Why aren't you crying for a nerf to Igneous Weapons? It's almost the exact opposite of Wizard's Reposte, and arguably more OP:
- Gives BOTH Major Brutality and Major Sorcery to all allies withing 28 meters
- Is a cast skill that doesn't occupy armor slots
- Lasts over 30 seconds with DK passives
- Doesn't require you to get crit hit for it to proc, like Wizard's Reposte
15% damage reduction is ALOT for pvp. Especially when it's permanent or ina zerg. It can get everyone who touches it. It needs a con to running it its waaay to op in open world
Why are you ignoring Major Brutality and Major Sorcery? 20% extra weapon and spell damage is a lot too.
The game is kinda balanced arround perma Major Sorcery/Brutality. There are plenty of different sources of those buffs for everyone and all can grant 100% uptime. It is different for Minor maim. Access to this debuff used to be much more limited. Until Wizard's Riposte ...
Where did ZOS say that PVP is "kinda balanced around perma Major Sorcery/Brutality?"
When they added it to every class' toolkits, several weapon and guild trees, multiple armor sets, potions, as well as skills/classes/sets that make it shareable. This debuff however is much more exclusive and easier to activate than all of the above -- which is why every troll tank and healer who know *** from shinola in PvP should run it until it gets tuned. I am; it's awesome.0 -

Wizard's Riposte doesn't need to be tuned. It's a counter to the Brutality/Sorcery/Berserk damage buffs. I could just as easily run 5 pc Dreugh King or Rattlecage and 2 pc Slimecraw. That's PERMANENT damage buffs without the condition that I have to take crit damage, and without cool down timers. Again, those are PERMANENT, not temporary or under conditions like taking crit damage.1 -

✭WR is not a counter to those dmg buffs. It is a counter to dmg in general. Is overall dmg too high? That's debateable, but even if would be the case, one single set shouldn't outperform other defensive sets like WR does.
And please stop those comparisons with dmg buffs. As already mentioned, every source of those buffs allow easy 100% uptime. You are supposed to be able to keep those buffs up permanently. It is different with Minor Maim. Nothing else grants as high Minor Maim uptime as WR. It is not even close. Again, one thing shouldn't outperform all other options.Edited by Rianai on July 20, 2017 2:03AM1
