My sincere apologies to everyone for saying Sload is fine. This has to STOP. NOW.

[ZOS: PLEASE, DO NOT MOVE THIS TO PVP AGAIN IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO COMMENT. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP A 100 TIMES BEFORE ME, AND YOU ALWAYS MOVE IT TO PVP SECTION WITHOUT A SINGLE COMMENT, WHICH QUITE HONESTLY IS A HUGE IF NOT GIANT MIDDLE FINGER TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO SEE YOUR INPUT ON THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH - A CONCERNED CUSTOMER.]

This really isn't fun

I was one of those players saying Sload's is fine in the last couple of days... Seeing as it never ever has done much harm to me... Until recently.

Me saying this... was me never encountering what I'm about to share here... This is absolutely ridiculous and completely gamebreaking in Battlegrounds.

Not only that but this has completely destroyed PVP as it is. Nowadays everyone just runs the same proc set, over and over and over and there is absolutely no room for skill or even variety.

This right here has officialy, today, made me want to stop playing. Simply because there is nothing fun in this, there is nothing interesting, nothing new. It's all get a different set and hope Sload's doesn't proc. Actually... This has now become a game of... who procs what first, wins first.

Any of you care to tell me how would you play in a situation like this? Even as a max health recovery tank I can't see you surviving this. It's NOT JUST Sload. Keep in mind that players get to attack you at the same time as this keeps ticking. My sincere apologies again for ever daring to say that this set was just fine and that you can build around it.

EDIT: On another note, while in this situation multiple opponents use this set. I have more than a 100 times seen this proc over 3 times in a row from just one person. It's the fact that all incoming damage procs this, direct, aoe, dot, anything. This can literally proc 2 times from a single light attack and a single dot. Not to mention it's supposed to be 10%, yet it procs like if it was 50% due to all the effects that can stack up, that activate it.

ZOS, some words on this would be nice.

Welcome to the club.

I hope they only nerf it in PvP. Tired of PvE being nerfed because of PvP...

lardvader

As soon as everyone and their mom is wearing this set something will be done.

Well seems like most of the people who "adapted" wear this so finally something will be done?

Yeah probably staying out of Cyrodiil until they swing the nerf bat....

Doctordarkspawn

Woahkay, I had not seen actual numbers.

5K per second? Thaaaaat's broken.

I FORMALLY RETRACT MY OBJECTIONS, THAT'S FRIGGIN' TRASH BRO.

Trust me, you don't want this. Even if you wear it yourself, everyone else will also wear it.

Thrust me ive been waiting have all the other gear ready

They just need to make it so that they don't stack.
So that a second Sload attack from another person just resets the duration.

Here it looks as though all 4 of your opponents were running the set.

Emma_Overload

Sload's should have been 9 traits AND magicka only.

They never should have put stamina and weapon damage bonuses on it. Builds that are already overpowered to begin with are running it the most. If it had been magicka only, at least it would have been balanced against stam builds who already have Shield Breaker.

How would this be any different? You'd have the exact same results anyway. Magicka set or not... What, you actually naively believe that people would give up so much free unmitigated damage for a bunch of underperforming stamina attributes? Get out...

Even if Magicka only users used it in your perfect world, you'd still be dying from every MagSorc, MagBlade or what have you in the exact same fashion.

Nemeliom

Don't worry guys. This will be nerfed soon. Give it a month. Or two. Or next DLC. Or....

Kuramas9tails

From my understanding, there's no cool down either.

Crafts_Many_Boxes

Isn't the obvious solution to make it so that this debuff can't stack with other sload debuffs? At least then, it wouldn't completely lose any PvE functionality it has.

Ley

That death recap made me lol

As much as I hate the nerf bat, I don't see an alternative option for this set.

I'm pretty sure there is a way to workaround PvE and PvP separately. The question is, does ZoS care?

Each tick is 853 per second. So the first line would be 7 seconds worth ie 7* 853 = 5768. Same with the second line etc..

I think what the OP is showing is multiple opponents using the same set at the same time? In which case 5768 damage over 7 seconds is not that much.

The problem is that it is Oblivion damage, which you can not mitigate in any way.

Great, I've got to each my mum to play ESO if I want this fixed?

The cooldown is suppose to be 6 seconds. If it is not working then we may have the real reason that this set is over performing in many peoples eyes.

Or the fact that it is any damage, so it procs nearly immediately on CD.

I think a 10s CD would be good. Honestly though, a guaranteed 5700 damage every 6 seconds doesn't seem that big to me. Of course for cloaking NB's this would be more of an issue.

Ley

Increase the cool-down, make it proc only by certain types of damage, make it not stack with other players, or reduce damage in in PvP against other players. Any one of those should bring it back in line with other sets.

vonScuzzman

Your recap seems to show that the only damage you were taking is from sloads; which means that otherwise if multiple people were attacking you would normally take no damage at all.

You may be reinforcing to ZOS that sloads is working as intended.

Oh my lord, can we stop with this kind of post thrown automatically in every slight occasion to bash those bad, filthy and abominable PvPers?

You really wear this set in PvE? 853 dps, uncrittable, unbuffable?

Even Soul Trap deals more damage.

Juju_beans

procs from sets should be disabled in pvp.

MaddPowered

Sloads is fine... And you can purge it. So stop complaining lol

Jailbirdy

….wait till everyone in the Zerg's are all wearing that, lol

The Double AP event soon is going to be truly something.

Hey bro, not everyone is a templar.

And don't bring up Purge: you know it's not spammable nor does it fit any build that isn't meant for support only.

aeowulf

make it scale on max health!

Actually I don't think any sets should scale on stats/cp etc but they should probably be a bit better at scaling on quality (especially the 5 piece bonus)

The deal with this set it´s like what happened with warden class. Sload´s semblance is brokenly op beacuse it comes with the new dlc. Once the sells start going down, it will be nerfed.

The set per-se is fine imo, but it should NOT stack... that's just bonkers lol. If another person is using Sloads, it should just reset the dot timer.
