Does Sloads feels a bit unbalanced?

Is it just me or does Sloads seem a bit OP in PVP? It seems like everyone is wearing it now and 80% of my deaths now in Cyrodiil are due to Sloads. Has ZOS said anything regarding this? Is there a balance or fix coming soon?

    *looks at the front page of general discussion its all complianing about sloads*

    It seems so

    Everyone on the pts warned them it was a bad idea to add it to the game, still got added to the game.

    The set would be balanced if it had some sort of condition like shield breaker light/heavy attacks. 10% of all damage is way to easy to reapply. I'd say make it 10% or even buff it to 20% but make it only apply on direct damage. That makes it easier to counter.

    Has there been any word from ZOS commenting on Sloads?

    Seems odd to go this long without comment?

    Who's idea was this?

    If sets like Zaan, Skoria, or Caluurion didn't exist I would say yes. But Sloads is weak in comparison. Although they're all bad for the game.

    I'm not experienced in Zaan and Caluurion, so I can't comment.

    But Skoria is not OP at all the way Sloads is. Skoria gives me no worry on the battlefield.

    Give the damn thing a cooldown.From what I've read it pretty much has a 100% uptime.Could really care less about this set,but seems like this is a large part of the issue.

    Truth, but only if you love to hear from whiners who can't adjust their builds to game changes.

    It’s gonna be nerfed, clearly. That and Zaan have been mentioned as being “looked at”.

    Brian Wheeler stated at E3 that there will be no nerfs to sloads

    5k damage over 6 seconds is so OP :::rolls eyes::::

    If everyone was spamming overload light attacks at you they would feel OP too. Just because everyone is wearing it doesnt mean its overpowered, just that everyone is wearing it.
