And you are still completely ignoring the fact, that Sloads is miles better than most other sets, which is the definition of imbalance.
If all of that fails, then incorporate a method to Cleanse into your build...

I’m pretty happy we get fixes for issues though:Fixed an issue for some visual holes appearing on the Pyandonean Homespun robe.
Fixed an issue where Salamander pets were displaying health bars and nameplates.
Updated the Pocket Salamander pet to display the correct name.
At least you can kill someone in style with your Pyandonean Homespun Sload’s Robe rocking your Salamander Pet now.
I love how 4 of the 5 defensive measures you posted are useless against sloads. And the one that remains, quickly gets rendered useless when you factor in defile. Try playing a different class than magplar. Your view of the game is completely twisted. Don't you think I know how to build in defense? The whole point is that the large majority of defense is useless against sloads when placed within this meta with defiles. And sets like Wyrd tree... how can you even recommend such sets? It is utter garbage. Complete, utter garbage.TheDoomsdayMonster wrote: »@TheDoomsdayMonster At this point I am not sure if you are actually defending sloads or if you are just using it as an excuse to showboat your 'theorycrafting' in an attempt to satisfy this fetish you seem to have for crappy sets such as combat physician. I mean, who in their right mind can objectively say that sloads is performing on a similar level as other sets, when it obviously outperforms these other sets to the point 95% of pvp is a *** sloads fest.
Why would I want to showboat my theorycrafting?
I am very secure with the sets I use as I know fully well what they can do and I know they perform very well...
With a proper build (one that stacks HoT's) Combat Physician rocks btw...
As pertains Sloads, I have encountered it many times and I wasn't impressed as I am able to deal with it easily...
The DoT is weak (at least as pertains it's effect on my character) and is purgable...
The only builds that struggle with it are those that depend on a single defensive mechanism (like Cloak or Shields) to survive...
Try a multi-layered defensive approach instead of depending on one layer of defense to survive and Sloads might not be so lethal to you...
For example, I:
1) stack HoT's (Rapid Regen + Ritual Retribution)...
2) have high base resists (29k spell/23k physical at all times)...
3) incorporate Major Evasion with 40-50% uptime...
4) can proc the Combat Physician damage shield on demand...
5) Elusive Mist if I need to reposition...
That's a multi-layered defensive approach; it's not dependent on any sole defensive measure to survive...
And it works very well...
You guys that depend only on Shields or Cloak are struggling because if those defenses are penetrated (and Sloads does exactly that), then there is no plan 'B' for survival other than to run away...
It's time for you guys to adapt to change...

Sloads is that thing that will kill you every single time when your other defenses are busy keeping the 'legit' incoming damage at bay.
But why am I even typing this. You will just come up with another unnecesarily convoluted reply with twisted logic and straight up nonsense. Like saying the sload dot is weak. LMAO to that.

@TheDoomsdayMonster
It seems that your idea of a debate really is to just ignore the main point of the other side. You also apparently main a magplar, which is the best spec in the whole game to counter something like sload's. You should really start to look at other perspectives here mate.

Applies Major defile to a Sorc, runs Oblivion Enchants, and Sloads..still takes 12 seconds to take him down from 5% health to 0
Yesterday I tried a maximum cheese magn nb running skoria+sloads+torug with oblivion. Heavy armor ofc. I also never played the class so I was really a noob. I was disgusted lol I just had to crippling+light attack people to death. Is this the game devs want?

Ok, summarize the other sides Main Point...

I’m not sure at this point if you’re just trolling? You keep ignoring the set comparisons. Both @Rianai and me already called you out on this. I reread all your posts and you never addressed it. Guess you lost that bet? But here you go one last time:
Sload’s is overperforming because:
- It does the highest base DPS of all single target DOT proc sets in the game while having the best damage type by far. The difference becomes even greater the more resistances or other defensive mechanisms the target has/uses. Against an opponent with 30% resistances through armor alone (no block or other mitigations) sload’s already outperforms sheer venom by around 75%.
- Once procced it bypasses a huge amount of defensive mechanisms. To my knowledge this includes: resistances (armor), block (including the ult), dodge, shields, cloak, mistform, protection buffs and all other types of damage reduction (nord passives, sets, …). This gives the set huge added utility.
These are the main points.
Additionally:
- It can be procced from all forms of damage including DOTs and AOEs. You can even use it to boost your siege damage against players (even more utility).
- The 2nd to 4th piece bonuses are good for both stamina and magicka players, giving most builds the option to run this set with minimal sacrifice.
If you answer this post without specifically talking about how sload’s is not overperforming in comparison to similar sets, and instead just continue to list your ‘counters’ then this discussion is worthless and I won’t respond anymore.
I also debunked this whole ‘can outheal it, therefore balanced’ nonsense yesterday and -who would have guessed - you just ignored it.

Dude, he is only playing a magplar with 3 defensive sets. Thinking that combat physician is usefull in pvp and if i remember correctly he is also using chudan as a monster set. Wich is even more stupid.
So ofc he has so problems with sloads and suggest stupid counters to it cause no exp on other classes.
If he is really this professional solo smal scaler then he shouldnt have problems profing it with some videos where he 1vX

Dude...
Learn to articulate your points better; that reads like a 'blah, blah, blah' post...
And please realize that your ignorant assumptions are not fact...
I've stated repeatedly that Sloads is not a problem for me, but in your ignorance you incorrectly state that I have problems with Sloads...
I seem to recall you crying and whining about Sloads users killing your Mag Sorc in a different thread, so if anyone here is struggling with Sloads, it's you...
