Dragon Bones DLC - How do you feel about the new Monster Sets? (Previously what are your hopes)

Dracane

Will be the usual "X chance when you deal damage to call forth bla bla and deal x damage"
Boring and uninspired.

BigBadVolk

in quick: one new for mag dds for pve (I like skoria, but been using that for too long) and one pvp one which boosts solo play in some way or at least smallscale (antizerg)

It's not a Monster Set, obviously, but I'm still waiting for:

• (2 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka
• (3 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
• (4 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka
• (5 items) While you have a drink buff active, your Max Magicka is increased by 2000 and Magicka Recovery by 150.

Talking about the monster set... The best ones:

• (1 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
• (2 items) When you deal damage, you have a % chance to deal Shock Damage. This effect can occur once every X seconds.

• (1 items) Adds 1206 Max Health
• (2 items) When you take damage, you have a % chance to deal Frost Damage and immobilize nearby enemies for X seconds. This effect can occur once every X seconds. (Good for tanks who don't have Dark Talons - Dragonknight skill)

ZOS, we need Monster Sets that cause Shock Damage and Frost Damage (for Tanks)! There's too much Flame Damage!

• Flame Damage: Domihaus, Grothdarr, Infernal Guardian, Maw of the Infernal and Valkyn Skoria.
• Shock Damage: Stormfist (and it's basically a stamina set).
• Frost Damage: Iceheart.

P.S.: Values listed are at Legendary Champion 160

You forgot Ilambris, which has a good claim to being BIS in many cases and deals Shock damage.

I'm actually amazed quite often at how little lag there is.

Might want to talk to your ISP about your garbage connection? Just a thought.

Qbiken

Some monster helmet that includes frost/ice damage. Would love something else aside from Icehearth .)

Yellow_Monolith

A dragon priest mask where it does aoe damage and has a 5% chance to summon a dragon priest ghost on hit

@casparian Look this: http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Ilambris+Set

"When you deal Flame or Shock Damage, you have a 10% chance to summon a meteor shower of the damage type that deals 1170 Damage to all enemies within 4 meteres every 1 seconds for 5 seconds. Each effect can occur once every 8 seconds."

There is no Shock Damage here. In game, what's the tooltip?

Tasear

Summon players back from dead to fight for you

M_Volsung

Come on, look at my name... you know I need a dragon priest mask.

2 Pc : Gain 164 Spell Damage and Reduced Spell Cost by 10%.

OP, very OP. 10% is very much, since seducer only gives 8%. this set would give two times a boni superior to all normal max magicka or spelldamage boni and you want to add the best cost reduction in a set?

My wishes

1 pc mag/stam recovery (tank/healer set)

sadly OP too, already Domihaus 1-piece is very strong.

Silver_Strider wrote: »

With a name like Dragon Bone, a Dragon Priest Mask should be MANDATORY but aesthetics aside, let's move on to what it would do

1p: Magic Regen
2p: Reduce the cost of spells by 5%. When you Heal an ally, there's an 10% change to grant them Major Protection, reducing the damage they take by 30% for 5 seconds. This effect can occur once ever 5 seconds.

wont happen, this set would be probably be one of the most powerful sets in pvp ever seen as soon you can apply the effect on several players.

i would also like to see some new utility sets. again, we have already enough damage proc sets, give us something new ZOS.

YoWombat

I want to see some new healer sets that are actually worth using, ie ones that offer something more than just increased healing. It would be nice to shake things up in that regard and not have everyone using the exact same gear (I'm talking about you, SPC!).

Faulgor

And as an added bonus, the moment you set foot in either of these new dungeons, you'll receive the Renegade Dragon Priest Mask, completely free.

Dragon Priest Mask is already a costume hat.

As for effects, I'd like to see something for sustain. I don't think we need another damage proc set, although some variety in that regard would be nice.

Dapper Dinosaur

If I get another reptilian mask (dragon head), that would be optimal. I would like it to be a new summon set for magicka, even though we technically don't need another one. An alternative could be a set that procs a set of spirit armor over yourself like one of the dragon shouts in the Dragonborn Skyrim DLC.

Saint_Bud

Something that will boost magicka dps in one level with stamina dps and reduce the spell coast by 10%.

Dasovaruilos

I really wish they made a very good PvE healing Monster Set... Healing meta has been the same since, you know, 2015...

I also would love if ZOS designed more Monster Sets more focused on one specific spec, like StamSorc or MagPlar... Analyse the type of damage that class usually do on a good parse and design a Monster Set that performs well for that spec, but not so much for others.

I think it is kind of boring when every stam is using Velidreth and every mag is using Illambris or Skoria.

We have so many Monster Sets, but only a handful are really used in end game, specially in PvE.

Read the rest of the sentence before what you bolded, "of that damage type" so if you use lightning, you proc the lightning half and if you use fire, you proc the fire half. What makes this set so powerful is that you can proc both elements at the same time. Not really sure how you don't understand that or have never seen or used the set, ben on my sorc since the day after it was released.


To the op, I want something that is useful on a magblade, besides valkyn or grothdar. But being a dragon based dlc, I don't see that happening.

Joosef_Kivikilpi

I just hope the eventually update all 1 piece monster sets so Dominaus isn't best 1 piece item around if you only have one slot open. Each should give something to compete or Dominaus toned down.

Sorry, I didn't understand that. You're right. Even so, only Ilambris (and the stamina set, Stormfist) deals shock damage. Meanwhile, 5 Monster Sets deals flame damage.

first pvp monster set

anti-teabag mask of the dragon priest

With a giant spike dipped in poison for noseguard that actually works as post-death-attack, 65k unpurgable poison dot that also reduces healing received to 0% for its duration?

Deloth_Vyrr

I want a magicka summoner dps monster set that is actually good to replace Ilambris. Maw of the Infernal is the closest thing so far, but it falls short on too many levels to be competitive (1 piece needs to be max magicka, 2 piece needs to be longer duration, easier to proc, higher damage, some combination of the 3)

ParaNostram

Something related to necromancy would be cool. I mean, we will be fighting Necromancers.

Every attack of ghost steal 5% of enemy gold and chance to steal gold temper from their craft bug.

GaunterODim

I would love to see a monster set for dds that synergises well with magic damage, like ilambris does with fire and lightning combined or valkyn does with dots.
Been looking forward to something like that since SOTH came out to have a more individual gear setup for magblade (or warden now) instead of just running valkyn again because grothdar must be melee.

Edit: 1 piece should be either magic damage or max magicka, no need for dual bonus if the 2 piece is right.

josiahva

Anything that is NOT a proc set. Give me something useful to increase stats, not a chance to do more damage, hate how 95% of monster sets are procs.

Too strong.

WrathOfInnos

1 Pc: Spell Damage
2 Pc: Dealing damage with a class ability reduces target's spell resistance by 3300 for 10s

Edit: Wouldn't this become BIS for healers, paired with SPC. It effectively means 34 champion points all Magicka DPS could move out of spell erosion. These would result in about 3-4% DPS increase for Magicka DPS. At the same time, the set would work when worn by a DPS, with a magnitude slightly less than Spinners, but for the whole group (similar to Sunderflame vs Spriggans for stamina). If we really want to optimize for healers, maybe the 1 pc could be mag recovery instead of spell damage (although this would ruin it as a mag DPS solo set).

beetleklee

Something for Mag and Stam DDs because I'm bored of using the same couple sets (Veli, Skoria, ect)
Doesn't have to be a proc set, I'd love something that helps with sustain.

Iccotak

Scalecaller Peak will have the Dragon Priest.
Fang Lair will have the Undead Dragon.

So we will get both a Dragon Piest and Dragon Bone monster helm sets.

Looking forward to returning to Skyrim lore seeing how Peryite influenced this particular branch of the dragon cult.
I really liked how they did that with Hermaeus Mora in the Dragonborn DLC of Skyrim.

I am looking forward to the day that we get to come back to locations such as Whiterun
tbh it does bother me that Falkreath hold is a dungeon and not actaully a new area on the world map. Maybe they will do something about that, I do not know, we will see.
