PvP set proposal: anti proc set sets

Bergzorn

It is frequently asked to remove or disable proc sets generally in PvP. I would like that but I don't think it will happen. However, there is another way to rebalance proc sets in PvP without changing them at all.

New monster set: Wrobel's epiphany

2 piece bonus: other players monster sets do not affect you (no damage, no healing, no buff, no debuff)

Note that this is not a normal monster set. The bonus activates if you slot a monster shoulder piece and put another unmatched monster shoulder piece in your helmet slot. No PvE grind for us PvPers and no wasted monster set opportunity for PvE.

New crafted set: Wrobel's remorse

5 piece bonus: other players five-piece boni do not affect you (no damage, no healing, no buff, no debuff)


These sets would be very strong (in fact much too strong) in view of the present PvP gear situation. But they would get weaker (relatively to other setups) the less people run proc sets. Eventually, a healthy balance might establish.

The existence of such sets would introduce a whole new level of opportunity cost in PvP gearing.

@ZOS_Wrobel : Feel free to change the set names.

change “from caster” to “from solo player” and we might be on the right track.

I see no reason not to wear 5x Wrobel one hit wonder, 5x Wrobel's remorse, and 2x Wrobel's epiphany. And an Eric Wrobel polymorph.

I think people on the forums have their hopes far too high. ZOS can’t write the code for 90% of the stuff people ask for.... with all the longstanding broken stuff in this game.... lets be real here

Bergzorn

The proposed set effects are pretty easy to code, except for wearing an epaulet as hat maybe. Much easier than most proc effects. Will things get messed up by spaghetti code? Probably.

Do I expect ZOS to listen to me? No. They have ignored better suggestions than mine. Now give me moar awesomes.

Edit: And more wacky Wrobel weapons!

I was thinking of a proc reflect set.

Has anyone tested to see if Sloads oblivion damage proc will proc the 5th piece bonus of the Hist Sap set?

NordSwordnBoard

Probably simpler if they make the easy to proc sets trash instead.

Nerf hammers will always outperform Wrobel Legendary weapons.

You mean just zos can't write code. Have you seen all the bugs where like walls are missing? I went into a delve the other day and crossed a bridge and everything disappeared but my toon and the floor, no walls no bridge nothing. Like how does that even happen

Anti Proc-Set Sets to counter Proc-Sets seems like good game design to me
I mean they could remove Proc-Sets but then again variety of sets in pvp would drop and ppl will find another thing to complain about.

Bergzorn

Many players consider proc sets in their present state problematic in (especially no Cp) PvP. I agree that trying to fix a problem by introducing special sets is a bad idea, but for some reason ZOS went this way several times during the past.

I was thinking about how to balance (read: nerf) proc sets without totally disabling them. They can be fun, just need a high opportunity cost IMO. A way without affecting PvE, with no need to touch each set independently. A way wich isn't immediately undermined by proc sets to be introduced with further content.

You don't want to eat viper's sting and zaan? Give up a monster set and a five-piece bonus yourself.

You want to proc players to death within two global countdowns? This still works against some builds, but is totally gutted against builds that give up some damage potential or utility to become cheese-proof.

Risk and reward.

I think the eventual removal of proccsets in pvp (because they would become weaker) is a good thing for lagg. All the wierdass aoe proccs here and there whatever is contributing to lagg just as much as aoe spam from ballgroups. And yes, I know I ressurected this thread, but we have necromancers in the game now so why not...
