Deadly strikes and Wrath of the Imperium

Xvorg

Strikes:



Imperium



Compare that with Eagle eye, archer's mind, Fiord's or Leviatán 3 pieces and Combat Physician, Infallible and Mother's sorrow 3 pieces
















Is there any reason why Strikes and Imperium should exist in this game? Buff them or take them away, but give us a reason to use those weapon sets.

There are so many sets that are just not even worth considering. Instead of revamping them they just keep releasing more. I like new sets, but I'd also like if old ones would actually entice me.

If ZOS wanted to buff these sets in the most lazy way possible, they could just increase the bonuses in the same way Willpower/Agility/Endurance were given their inflated values. This alone would make them somewhat decent.

I'm still hoping for an Ancient Grace buff. It should at least be powerful if you stack Max Magicka like crazy.

Deadly Strikes: Dealing Direct Physical damage against an enemy increases their damage taken by 1% for 2 seconds. This can stack up to 5 times.

Wrath of the Imperium: Dealing damage with a Magicka Ability increases your Spell Critical by [x] for 2 seconds. This can stack up to 5 times.

Sad part is I got Strikes ring as an end campaign reward =/

I'm not gonna sell it

I'm not gonna use it

Just another wasted slot in the bank.

I use imperium jewelry. , a full crafted set and a partial crafted set for my below 50 mag characters. No need to farm useless gear just to pvp with decent gear before hitting champ level.

I guess you can use them if you like gold jewelry....

No, the point is that their bonus are exactly the same in 3 pcs than the 5 pcs sets above mentioned, so you can go with 3 pcs Fiords, for example (an overland set easy to get) doing the same. Even Fiords is better since it gives you 129 wpn dmg (not 1k health)

So, what's the point of those weapon sets?

Remember when Wrath of the Imperium increased your crit by 10% and you generated Ult each time you crit? I could lay down one Veil after the next with that set... good times.

It is pretty much junk now, and I don't expect them to ever be buffed, but ZoS does silly things some times so if you have a gold set hold on to it.

All are trash gears. But I still keep them in my bank. What if ZOS buff them in next patch, who know?

It part of a mmo that gear sets become redundant, zos dont need to nor should they buff all sets

Diversity?

At this point Ive started to believe ZOS wont buff the weaker sets just to give poor people some budget-options. That dont really makes sense on crafted sets tho, so who knows..

Deadly Strikes and Wrath of the Imperium need the Mother's Sorrow and Levithan 5-piece bonuses as their 3-piece, and Deadly Strikes should get weapon damage, not max health.

I run wrath on a healer so I can run it a 5 piece and chokethorns monster set and have a decent crit chance for heals and it works great even run trials with it.

As for deadly strikes oh how many different builds you could make with it both pve and pvp.

Interesting but the deadly should be 3 secs. 2 secs is little small.

You can do it better with this one instead of Imperium




Strikes 1.2K health can't compare to Fiords, or Oblivion's edge 2 pieces... even Rangers Gait, Senche's, and Storm Master are better
