Is Inaflliable Aether full set useless now??

Bigevilpeter

Since basically any sorc can apply concussion and with asylum weapons applies them too, in trials the shock damage by multiple dps can have almost a 100% uptime.

Is there any reason to use full set IA?? specially as a healer??

Some bosses can´t be affected by concussion/offbalanced. First and 2nd boss in vAA are examples of that. In those fights having IA can be useful

There are many enemy types, that are immune to concussion, mainly Daedra. Twilights (immune to ALL elemental status effects) spider Daedra are immune to fire and concussion, Lichs are immune to frost and concussion, storm atronachs are immune to concussion.

My expertise ends with Daedra, so not sure if other types of enemies are immune as well but I assume so.
No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to concuss these enemy types, thus will not be able to apply minor vulnerability with the asylum staff. So in this case, infallible aether is the only way to do that.

Hmm interesting, but makes IA very niche, it used to be a must have for healers, don't know what's best now along with spell power cure

Aether is far from useless, because even though you can in theory also get minor vulnerability from lightning damage you usually shouldn't be doing it. You want to have a lot of stamina-DDs and the Magickas you have all run fire staffs, because it is more DPS.

First boss in arx can't either.

Yes it's not good in most situations. A healer can apply it with charged lighting staff and shock glyph. Even more so if it's a sorc healer.

Infal is being used more in trial situations these days as people are starting to know the importance of vulnerability, one of the most important debuffs needing to be near 100% uptime. Most trials are being 5-6 stamina and only 2 or 3 Magicka.

Glad to see it being used again.

IA is still used in more coordinated groups. Just check the uptimes on minor vulnerability on bosses and you will see why. It is very rarely above 70% if you don't have a healer using IA.
