yea ok mate.
this set needs to go, it is in most cases an 'I win' set that any player can wear stam or magicka and rolfl stomp most opponenets with a basic zaan, stun ultimate/execute combo.
Outside of one especially foolish idiot that made dozens of posts about it being counterable, L2P, etc... most people don’t like this set. Or they won’t when they finally get hit by it. Or they’re using it and they want a crutch.
Nobody really addressed the point: should a two piece set hit harder than an ultimate? The answer is and should always be NO.
I really do miss the days of sets just offering a static increase in stats with no rng procs

Ults are more easy to time, use efficiently, have less/less easy counters etc. I don't see why not. Should AS 2h offer so much ultimate? Should master bow offer 300wp, higher than the atro mundus? Look at blessed. Much much stronger 1v1 that zaan. Not nerfed.
You are incorrect about most people not liking it. Most people in the polls are pro zaan. I use skoria since its better and can counter zaan on my DK.
The duels show examples of counters, and that is in a confined area. In OW, it'd be even worse.
So we just keep all imbalances in the game and everything is fine?
That's just nonsense, when every duel tournament bans Zaan you know its too strong, and in open world it is even stronger because the potential Xv1, builds with less survivability than duel builds, more cheese etc.
I understand you want to defend it so skoria will never be changed because you can always say: But Zaan does more damage.
This has to stop and Skoria, selene, velidreth, Zaan, Earthgore have to die and never be ever used in cyro

It really doesn't have to go anywhere. Why is it okay for people to kill each other/save each other one way and not another? This stuff doesn't exist exclusively for other people and not you. It's equipment meant to help fights be decisive. Otherwise you have fights that will just go on and on and on, which gets a bit stale don't you think? It's not going anywhere anytime soon regardless of how much any of us call for action on it which really if you think about it is kind of a wasted effort anyway. Imbalance is integral to a healthy shifting meta. Perfect balance is boring, and unattainable and leads to stagnation What happens when that game you like has nothing new or exciting happening? You stop playing.

Oh it's so exciting dying to someone who pressed one Button and got lucky with his procs.
Oh my I enjoy this so much, this guy uses these fun poisons and i can't use skills because I'm out of resources
Oh nice my regen got reduced due to siphoner stacking so much fun.
I'm having so much fun fighting this guy spamming light attacks which hit for 500 but shieldbreaker and oblivion damage torugs deal 4k unmitigatable damage.
I can tell you we don't need any procs, they're not fun.
I do 1vX on all chars without procs, poisons siphoner, defile stacking or even the latest meta builds.
This is fun gameplay getting rewarded for being better than your enemy and not getting free kills because RNG devastates your enemy.
Imbalances are never good for healthy balance, different strengths are great for a healthy gameplay, but if something is clearly dominating, overperfoming or simply overpowered it's not fun not good for the gameplay

Yup, that's the thing. Should we get a Zaan meta, possibly with Cal, you'd HAVE to swap to magblade to remain competitive. It makes so much better use of it!

So everyone should play the way you want because you don't want to craft poisons, farm sets, or use certain cp stars? Games need to have power creep so that you have a new carrot to chase to keep playing the game. Who would use these monster sets if they turned out to be another crappy bogdan set? There's no badge of honor for failing to adapt to the current meta and still stomp players you're better than anyway, but you play the way that makes you happy I won't call for a nerf on your favorite playstyle. Just remember that using all the tools available to you is just as much measure of skill as knowing how to do a bread and butter burst combo.

Question, if you dodge or reflect the light attacks from these sets, does the proc happen?

That is the thing. People say that one way of killing someone is more unfair, even though it requires playing around bursts of some type it to get their health bar down. Boohoo. Game is too 2d, everything is predictable. Then Boohoo, people playing around X using Y set its too unpredictable/unfair.

Yeah game is too predictable. Lets make sets do the dmg for us. 10k dmg, 20k dmg, 30k dmg. Lets aim 100k proc sets by the end of 2018. As long as they have "counters" they are balanced. Because proc sets doing the dmg for you are indeed more fair than using ur actual skills and it also requires more planning and make the game unpredictable and fun.
I cant even... You know what. Just forget it.

You’ll never convince a proc set user that his toys are bad.
ZOS will fix it, likely after DB sales meet some goal. Until then? Join in the stupidity or do some PVE.

The majority of procs sets you mentioned are fine how they are. They've been nerfed twice already. (not able to crit anymore, and delayed damages + telegraph for counter them easily when they proc)
They are a nice counter to tanks healers, heavy armor and magicka shields.
Instead of nerfing Zaan and the others news procs sets, I prefer to see some adjustements about visual cues and small delay added when they proc, like selene.
I also didn’t realize how substantial the 10 meter range of this set actually is before we started messing around with it. Man I hope they fix it soon. PvP is going to get downright nasty once this set becomes more prevalent.

It's only a matter of time!
I'm actually missing 400-950 (once buffs are up) spell Damage on my build and still melt people.
NBs are gonna really love it. Imaginr already starting on your heels from ambush (or whichever) with an 8k Caluurion, into a Zaan proc? You literally have 1 sec to respond and flee, if that

I tried Zaan on my mDK and it is without a doubt one of the most broken monster sets ever released in this game. The mere existence of this set on live gives me serious doubts as to whether or not the devs have any idea what is happening in their game. It is an ultimate on cool down.
Anyone who has ever created a nerf proc set post should rise up in outrage at the mere existence of this monstrosity.
P.S. I did about 7-10 duels with it then took it off out of sheer embarrassment.

Just like the last ‘DB’ patch, this one pretty much belongs to nightblades.
