Monster Helm Diversity- different damage

Savos_Saren · February 2018

I was thinking it would benefit us to have a little more diversity in our monster helm set's damage. Currently, the breakdown is as follows:

Fire: Valkyn, Grothgarr, Illambris, Maw of the Infernal, Infernal Guardian, Domihaus, Zaan
Magic: Nerien'eth, Malubeth, Shadowrend
Lightning: Illambris, Stormfist
Ice: Iceheart

Physical: Kra'gh, Sellistrix, Stormfist, Tremorscale, Selene, Domihaus
Disease: Velidreth, Thurvokun
Poison: Spawn of Mephala

What would you like to see added? I also think that some of these sets could use some love. I haven't seen Maw, Nerieneth, Shadowrend, Sellistrix, or Mephala in a looooooong time.

@ZOS_GinaBruno any plans to add some more diversity to the pool? Maybe some more ice and poison sets?

I feel like the problem with a majority of the sets is they are themed and fire is seemingly much easier to make a set out of than lightning or ice (more damage basically).

They rely on Fire damage as the main damage stat a bit too much. Hell I remember a conversation I had with someone about Ice having a buff in damage and such, Icehearts probably the weakest damage monster set there is. Disease would be a nice place to have more in as well defile is kinda needed with so much healing in the game i.e resto ult and such.

I just want a proper chain lighting helmet

I’d prefer to see more unique sets (both undaunted and regular 5 pieces) like bloodspawn and kena. We have enough free damage sets, although you are right that there’s a disparity in the damage types currently.

@Draxys

Like what? What do you have in mind? The devs might take note.

Personally I'd add a magic damage based one or something that would buff stats similarly to Kena but without the cost increase thingy

Heck- even sets that could benefit anyone who wears it:

Helm of Savos Saren:
1 pc: Adds 603 health, 548 magic, 548 stamina
2 pc: Reduces the cost of Ultimates by 2%

Boom. It's useful for EVERYONE. It's not overpowered and it's not BiS for any particular build. The first piece is half of normal stats- but it acts as a tristat bonus and the second piece is still slightly less beneficial than a 3pc set like Potentates (5% reduced ulti) or 5pc set like Dragonguard (15% reduced ulti).

That’s a tough call, I’d have to brainstorm on that for some good ideas. But what you said about the 2% ultimate is the kind of thing I was getting at.
