Tremorscale and Selene are still overperforming

Both Selene and Tremorscale need to be brought in line with the recent changes to proc sets. They both grant hard or unavoidable damage.

Add a 1 second delay to both sets with a clear visual indicator where they will proc.

Additionally reduce selenes damage by 15%.
It has a tooltip of 15k+ more than: Wrecking blow, snipe and the initial hit of dawnbreaker.
This is too much for a free hit with now cost that can occur every 4 seconds.

    Selene is not a free hit. As a stamplar, I can only land it on a good player if I am careful about my positioning, apply a CC if possible, and get lucky. It takes effort to line up a hit, and in U15, the added visual telegraph will only make it easier to avoid. Wearing Selene certainly comes with a cost, too: the opportunity cost of not wearing Blood Spawn, Skelly, etc. is significant.

    Do you think that proc sets should never do high spike damage under any circumstances? ZOS seems to disagree with you. Roll dodge is an effective counter. If you're getting killed by Selene, Selene is not the problem.

    It's just a large an issue as any other high damage monster sets in no-cp especially. Any honest magblade, templar or DK will tell you how often it procs off cooldown.

    It does not take skill to use a proc set no matter how difficult you paint the CC+Proc to be. It happens easily. When I see somebody switching to procs I know for sure that this person wants desperately to do some killing instead of being the victim of his own low skill.
    Why else would you want to use such a lame mechanic with such high tooltip?

    Skoria was always OP. But it used to be the only OP monster set, people could ignore the few builds that uses it and back then CoA vet was not so ez to farm (difficulty and drop rates). People are now saying enough with the buulllcrap, clean slate plz.

    How can you say that Skoria isn't OP when a tanky DoT user procs it on you without having to worry about breaking his defence to lunch at you? He/she will kill you for sure if you commit to the fight.
    I've seen magPlars and magDKs doing various 1v1 combos of them classes and Valkyn Skoria rains like armagedon for the 15mins that the duel is lasting.

    Its not OP outside of 1v1 scenarios. In 1v1s you can efficiently apply dots enough to get high procs and it is certain to impact the target for the full damage.

    Otherwise, It has a sound before it meaning people can react by blocking/cloaking, deals less damage than most other proc sets, (even though the tooltip is higher.) it has a 1pc health bonus, the damage, whilst AoE isn't guaranteed to proc on your intended target like viper and finally It relies on dots, which are weak and can be purged.

    Who really uses Tremorscale in PvE? And no, tanky builds should not be able to deal damage. As for Selene, any proc should not come with high damage if the conditions for the proc are easy to reach. Skoria is actually well designed. It has high damage but DoTs as a condition to proc it usually prevent the burst we see from any skill + Selene. I find it hilarious people really are still defending their Incap + SA + Selene combos bursting for 20k + with pressing two buttons.

    Selene is only strong when comboed with a cc.
    If u r not cc ed and get hit by selene its a l2p issue. Selene has just like skoria conditions to proc. Besides that u cant avoid skorias meteor.

    The problem u have is that selene just synergizes a bit to good with incap.

    Btw, if selene would be nerfed to uselessness are u going to complain about velidreth?

    Works just as well as selene.

    AFAIK both selene and tremor are dodgeable.

    Selene isn't really that good outside of stamNB ganking. Don't forget that stamNBs use Selene instead of Velidreth in PvE, so nerfing Selene's damage would result only in: "you nerf PvE because of freaking PvP", "stamNB were already dead in PvE" and so on.

    Tremor damage was already nerfed. Tremor snare was already nerfed. There isn't much left for further nerfs so just let that one be. And tremor was effective only by combining it with Viper or Red Mountain (or both at once xD). With these sets completely gone I don't think that tremor builds will be much of a deal anymore.

    I havent noticed tremorscale all that much anymore and no I don't use it. I do believe Selenes is still going to be a proc blade issue due to the strong an often bugged cc from incap strike. The change to vipers just means a new type of set will emerge to pair with Selenes. Likely oblivion damage.

    Skoria is strong. But there is a delay, sound warning and it can be blocked. Compared to Selenes this is a lot of warning and something like meteor. Should it hit after the user is dead? No, that seems silly.

    Watch out for that big 5k hit! It'll get ya, I've got people proccing more double poison damage on me over 5 seconds than Skoria is hitting for.

    This is me at 25k resistances (NO CP but neither does he), getting hit 14k by Selene, and it's not the highest it's been either. I've seen 15k.

    It needs a serious damage nerf not just some basic telegraph - These guys are coming from stealth with incaps.
    Honestly I doubt anyone cares about the telegraph and would trade it off for a damage nerf.

    The problem with selene is that it's a constant russian roulette for you if your enemy uses it.
    If selene hits you the chances are high that you'll die. It doesn't matter that you avoided it 20 times, if your enemy is lucky once ,you lose.

    If you look at a proc set there are different things to look at which determine whether it is highly op or total crap.
    1. Damage
    2. Proc chance
    3. Restrictions for the proc
    4. Cooldown
    5. Dot or Burst?
    6. Avoidable?
    7. Delay or instant

    Now check it for selene:
    The damage is insanely high,
    Proc chance is high,
    the restriction is not a drawback because almost any stam build is meele based.
    The Cooldown is way too low only 4 seconds that's less than a normal weapon enchant
    It's a direct burst ----> strong for pvp
    You can definitely avoid selene the first few times but it will hit you during a fight for sure even against bad players. Good players can Animation Cancel selene ignoring the visual indicators so it will hit instantly.
    Right now there is no delay.

    As you see everything about it is way too strong there needs to be drawbacks and flaws to a set to be balanced, Selene doesn't has this.

    I stand to my point, Selene is too strong and needs to have a 1.5 sec delay with this it won't be a problem in PvP but will be fine in pve

    PVP players are good at both PvEz and pvp.
    That Golden Merchant was a product to Adress rng reward problems. That is why we get a rotation of PvP traits.

    Btw, how did we used to clear veteran content before crap like Selene, when the content was not as nerfed as it is now? You dont need Selene to PvE.

    Selene and Skoria are overperforming. Tremor does like 2k damage per 4 seconds. Thats not high at all. I have tried it before, the snare is easily available via low slash for 12 seconds or stampede for 8 seconds hence i didnt feel the need and it has cooldown as well; whereas i can slow multiple enemies with skills so i replaced it with Selene and results were astonishing. I laugh when it hits for 7k-8k lol.
