    Those two sets were nerfed because Woeler Alcast said they were meta. Since Morrowind, pretty much anytime someone with a website dedicated to ESO content says a set is meta ZOS nerfs it.

    Because if you aren't grinding for gear/mats, you aren't wasting time and they can't milk you for more money via sub or shiney limited time crown items. The quicker you complete everything to the point of boredom and leaving the game the less money they make from you. Call me a cynic but I think that about sums up why.

    Not specifically talking about those sets,but they could just leave the meta be.Besides if they did that they could focus on some more technical issues.

    part of the standardization of the game, from the Developer Comments in the patch notes-


    The bonus for having 5 pieces is approximately 2.31x the value of a one-piece bonus. For example, you can get a set bonus of 129 Spell Damage, or a 5-piece bonus of 299 Spell Damage on Julianos.

    They are not trash. I think it will make more sense now to add Ebon group buff rather than tank only buffs. I will probably try a GP/Ebon combo. With the upped health regen of GP it might make more sense to run it rather than PD. Gonna have to solo a few WB's to see how things work out, but it isn't the end of the world. We just have to rethink a little; sure I am gonna have to go grind for I think one or two more pieces, but meh, it's what we do. See you in Grahtwood or Deshaan; don't give up on it.

    They don't want health stacking tanks, which is why the 80k health igneous shield builds were nerfed after a week or two.

    Perhaps this is their intention? Maybe they felt that the base game overland stuff was too good compared to their recent release and left that one alone? Hmmmmm...

    The 5pc buff already comes from warhorn, which is why that set is useless.

    Everything good this patch will be nerfed eventually too, likely in next patch.

    Where OP is right is :

    - ZOS wanted health to become a valuable stat
    - some build happens (DK health stacking, for shared shields)
    - ZOS decided it was wrong, Igneous shield heavy nerf, they do not care a sec about no stacking health people, Igenous just became a "give me more health pls ability). The meta has to decide.
    - ZOS decided Health based sets were too strong, so nerfed them (but still dont care about what they destroyed)

    Hopefully i never went into this meta, so i saved around 72 tempers alloys.

    Conclusion: not believing in what ZOS say = save gold.

    Or

    Maybe ZOS has to let players play their game the way they want?

    stop crying, as DPS we always have to change our gears on all our DPS toons with major patches. you only have one toon to change. every major patch i have 6 toons to *** around.

    It was over performing a bit compared to other sets, but not to the point that it was the only choice. Now it doesn't give enough benefit over other sets to just not run the other sets. (Why not just run ebon for example for pve, sure it's a few K less in health, but gives the buff to rest of group. Which before was only a big deal in a trial sized group, but now even for a four man run might be more beneficial than just the tank having an extra 3k health with plague).

    IMO it should have gotten about half the nerf it did.

    (I'd say the same of a few other things they nerfed as well, like Mother's Sorrow. It was strong, needed a nerf, but ended up getting over nerfed).

He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
