Just to show how bad it is.....
Full Tank / Heal / Support Build with ability to cleanse over 5 effects whenever you like....
Just spammed to death with dots and each tick seems to apply sloads....so you just can never cleanse it....it's a perma debuff...

we have repeatedly tried to tell you guys how to defend against sloads.
if you refuse that help, then how can you claim it is bad?
we have repeatedly told you the flaws of those defenses and the fact that those defenses needs to be placed inorder to counter just one over preforming proc set in the first place is crap
the suggestions we are giving you to counter sloads set is ligitimate and correct and realistic.
especially if you want to survive easily and kill the person wearing sloads set.
your suggestion is unrealistic because you are refusing to build for defence and slot 1 skill, no, instead you guys are in refusal of accepting help.
so when i say "if you refuse that help and you refuse to slot purge and build better defenses, then how can you call sloads a bad set"??
the answer is "you cant"
it really is just simple, just slot purge and build some defences.
now there is another thread right now where the someone is requesting we are allowed to have "purge" potions and that might be a better answer for all of us!
because it would make both you and me happy in this situation ...

I still dont see your point behind luck like most of players here
as I also posted before but not sure in this thread, I tested to use purge and will say it snot worth..it only longer your existence by maybe 2-4 seconds
I had only 2-3 different dots+ other debuffs + sload on it
when I was lucky I get sload purge at 3rd cast and still had last dot on me becasue purge finally realised to purge sload before last other dot
if I wasnt lucky so mostly...even 4 purges dont help because having only 2-3 dots with sload is uncommon, if ikd how yue..but if I have sload on me I have also 4+ other dots on me + debuffs so again as I staded..its just mircale for me to get purged sload at even 3rd time where I have no more magica for cloak + with time spammindg purge I was still damaged by ones without healing myself...oh wait, have nothing more than vigor over 5 second and rally once per 10 seconds and ofc whiel spamming purge its also really rare to not get reapplied again some dots
so I will say again, your argument with purge for today meta is invalid
no, I dont refused to change some my build to counter it, really I tried it but in medium its just waste of magica and time to spam this purge, if I see this dot fest and sload it is just better now to let them kill you instead of extending your struggle to survive few more seconds
if we dont have DoT meta it could be optionw ith purge..but as for today its really just BIG NON-SENSE
He here is some back up evidence for what you are saying, when you are taking dots like this:
Then you would have to cast efficient purge probably 3 times, (Purge removes 2 effects) That's 15k magicka. Most stam players don't have that. And even magica players would struggle with coughing up that much magicka. It's ridiculous that people suggest that people have to run purge in the first place, that's a support ability.
thats if you are being attacked by multiple D.O.T.s and curses and attacks and sloads.
that means you are trying to fight a group of people and that has nothing to do with sloads nor purge, that means you are now fighting 3 or more people.
in that case, fighting a group or groups or several people are targeting you out specificly, means you will probably die no matter what is hitting you, and that is more realistic.
the mention of using purge is meant for small 1 v 1 fights or 1 v 2 fights. any more enemies then that and purge is not going to save you.
Unless you are = as in Zerg against Zerg or a fair group against Group, in that case "yes" purge will work cause you have a moment to cleanse yourself of those dot's and take a breather hide within your goup or Zerg, and heal and purge 1 or 2 times. and maybe even a 3rd time if you can allow your magicka a moment to recover.
nope not always..can agrtee only if you have more sloads on you but about only dots...well we have build on pvp where on sole you will stack to 5 different dots
1) rending slashes
2) dual wield passive axe bleed proc
3) poison inject
4) 1st poison proc from weapon poison
5) 2n poison proc from weapon poison (yes if people running with wepaon poisons for jsut DOT they have 2 poisons at once from single)
this we have basic dots easy to get and very very often and also 6th dot - poisoned status
and dont forget about possibility to 7th and 8th dot from proc sets
this is all possible from only stam build but can achieve similiar number of dots also from magica build
1st can change to destro touch avaible for all
poisoned status effect dot can change to burning
2nd, 3rd and can add additional 2 depending on class dot we start going to class dots
every class except I think sorc have atlest this 1-2 class dots (for sorc we can talk about curse instead of dot viable to purge)
and I think we can easility add more than 2 class dots at magdk
so in most cases even single player can easilty give you 4-5 different dots from only skills, without proc sets but here are goin ofc proc sets with additional dot - sload
so how you are supposed to purge only sload whiel you have atlest 4 dots on you if not more and with it many other debuffs like jsut main, defile, reduced resists etc whcih also can be purged by rng before sload
EDIT: tl;dr
you dont need face more than 1 player to get dotfest on you where purge is just useless if you want to purge only 1 dot because with rest you can deal until you get this one most broken
i have seen and fought those type of builds before and yeas those are some Nasty builds, but i was still able to weave in during the fight a few purge casts and i was close to death but i won. sometimes i lost to it but it was fair sometimes as long as i could cast a few purges i did survive 50% of the time.
as long as i did not get a sloads screen i was ok. (kinda)
- Update 23Ice Furnace: This item set now grants Spell Damage, rather than Weapon Damage for the 4 piece bonus

Class reps are just like our politicians. They promise mountains made of gold for us, but in the end, whenever they can they try to push their own agenda.
We are tested today a StamDK focused on Dots with this Set. Dual Wield, S&B
5x Sloads, 5x Viper, 2 Troll King, Race Orc. Rending Slashes, Noxious Breath, Venomous Claw, Axes as Weapons (Bleed) Reverbating Bash (Major Defile) Minor Defile Poisons Dual Wield, Double Dot Poison S&B. Healing Reduced by 62%. If all dots are up, simple spam Ransack and Helicopter Finisher. Really good Heavy Armor Players can’t outheal this. But it’s okay if anyone think this Set is not broken. Not alone, but in combination with this other stuff it’s simple broken.
Couldn't he outheal it because of sload, or because of rending slashes+noxious breath+venomous claw+axebleed+major defile+minor defile+double DOT poison?
That's like saying smoking is bad for your health if you smoke while jumping out of a plane without a parachute.
I think it was clearly enough at my post. The Game allows to much Dot Pressure with this Set and other combinations. The balance is since years a problem. First the block was to strong, then the heals was to strong, now the dot pressure is to strong.
Yes, but if you replaced sload in your setup with something else, the result would most likely be the same. That's what i meant. So it is hardly a proof of sload overperforming:I’m pretty sure you could run assassins guile with that setup and be just as nasty *shrug*
* high pitched hysterically demonic screeching *
1 set that prob is as good as this, but no-one uses really, is Dual wield master axes: (2 Items) Increases the bleed damage Twin Slashes deals by 1500 each tick. now if you do double axes you have another 16% bleed change on top...
Iknow, it gets reduced by battle spirit, but it ignores all resistances aswell (exept shields thats the only non-common thing).
I dont really see a thicc problem with this sload set, zos finally listened to #nerfsorcs!
The set is clearly broken
Sload's ticks 7 times (once at start and once per second for 6 seconds). That is 6k dmg. 6k unmitigated dmg is insane.
I challenge any player to walk that dmg back through Battle Spirit, Armor, and Defenses.
What if I told you about a craftable proc set that put a 20k DoT over 6s on people? Would you complain then? 'Cause thats basically what Sloads is.
Stop standing up straw-men about how it could even kill a crab. The point is that this dmg happens IN ADDITION to everything else you are doing.
Also, 10% chance on any dmg is EASY. Valkyn is 8% on DoTs only, and its completely savage on nearly any class.
Sloads + Valkyn + ?? anyone?
Everyone is out healing sload, even my magsorc can. 853 damage per second is strong but not OP.

It's not just the proc that you have to heal through.
I don't know how you play magsorc, but magsorcs don't generally have heals aside from healing ward or resto ult pvp wise. Healing ward takes 5 seconds to heal you (if it's still even up) and resto ult is an ultimate. Those are pretty bad odds of survival, even 1v1.

Still not get killed by Sload once in Vivec PC Europe.
Alcast is currently streaming from Vivec (?, it's CP campaign for sure), and I don't see Sload in Kill Recap again.
Amazing, we never saw that much outrage about any drop-sets. I was really surprised that this was the even the case, usually this is something for drops. Now, that finally crafters have something useful again, we get pages after pages of complaints.
Where was this kind of outrage with...I don't know, pick any set that was too powerful? This thread might probably surpass any other topic about OP-sets, and probably because it is "too easy to get" - aka crafting.
Viewed from the other perspective, I was imagining if it has to be pieced together via drops. "Would you really prefer that?" I was asking myself. So many people get annoyed by droprates, I don't think that would be e solution for it either, not to mention that this wasn't ever done.

Because previous broken sets were appealing to specific builds. Sload in its incredible broken design can and IS being used by any dps, regardless if they are stam or magicka because it outperform anything else that could have been taken in that slot. Healers and tanks run it aswell because its no effort lot of added dmg to the team dps. If set can be used by any class and any build and its valuable, its broken, plain and simple.

Broken sets, as we had for example with "twice born star" when you could use all of the signs at once, which was not intended is a whole different story.

But if not, why should there be made any change, especially since crafters have something nice again?

Im crafter myself and theres lot of nice things i can craft to make money. Economy and crafting doesnt need a boost by implementing vastly overperforming set. Every set and every skill in game should be implement with fair and balanced combat reasoning only.

It's not about money for me, I don't sell much at all. I agree with the sentiment of balance and would even go so far as to say, leave all set bonus out of PvP and let the people show some genuine skill. But I know almost no one wants that...
So what else to do as counter opportunism with opportunism..?

Maybe reading player feedback for a start. ZOS was warned long long ago on pts set is overperforming and will be spread to every build possible. But it was implemented regardless. Same story with plenty overperfomring sets and skills in past. They dont seem to learn. So id advise swap guy responsible for changes for a smarter one able to foresee obvious events. And for now, immediatelly patch it out, either put a cd on proc of 10-15s minimum or change dmg type.
