A 15% damage reduction is completely useless for starters, thats 130 less damage per tic. The biggest issue tho is this can still stack and needs a longer cooldown because, while it cant proc itself anymore ( great dont thing it was suppose to do that in the first place) The cooldown as of right now allows it to proc back to back giving healing ward no way to keep up with that. You fixed it for nbs but left sorcs screwed. Also I cant believe I need to say this but unmitigated damage should not stack.
And for the love of god can we do it this pts cycle instead of the one for murkimer cause they arnt fixing it once its live and 1 dlc was long enough for the worst designed set by zos yet

A shielded character with multiple sloads on it isn't any worse off than an unshielded character with multiple normal dots on it, so i don't see why the former should not stack when with the latter stacking is fine.17 -

✭✭Stacking is not the real issue and not stacking brings back those dreadful memories of embers not stacking. It creates precedent that will inevitably be used as argument in any number of other issues.
Not even the fact that it is oblivion damage is the issue. Oblivion damage, even though it is one of the most stupid concepts ever to be invented in gaming, is a necessary workaround. Unless the whole principle of defensive mechanisms is revised, something like this is required as a counterplay option.
The amount of damage was one issue. It will be changed (I hesitate to call it fixed as of now, since I haven't seen it in action yet) and is looked at.
The main issue with sloads is the ease of proc'ing it. The problem with sloads is that it can be activated by spamming bow light attacks from 40m away.
Do something like with other strong proc sets. Limit it to certain damage types, to melee damage abilities, to single target class skills, whatever.
I personally would prefer melee damage abilities only, as that brings the sload user in range of counterattacks, but anything limiting proc chance would be a step in the right direction.
And absolutely remove the chance to proc it with siege weapons. This is really the icing on the dungpile currently.Edited by Leandor on July 11, 2018 11:25PM12 -

Re-read the notes. Tics aren't reduced, it is one tick less (only 6 instead of 7), but tics remain the same.2 -

Aeowyn✭✭✭This makes for a frustrating pvp experience. How can the same individual proc it 3 times in a row, (stacking, of course with a second player also wearing Sloads) in the time it takes me to only take one other ability of damage in a fight.
Why is there no cooldown on this proc set? Other proc sets do. Not only can it stack and cannot be mitigated in any way, and recasts itself, there's no cooldown?!
Fun game, ZoS. Really thought this one through.

An unshielded character with HoTs running with multiple normal dots on isn't any worse off than a shielded character, barring Defile--which is overtuned.

Yeah, after doing Battlegrounds with three other guildies, I see what these calls for Sloads nerfs are about.
It should not proc 3-5 times after itself and stack 5-8 times on top of itself, as well.
Kept seeing Sloads on our recap screens. They would use a cheap ability to get it to proc over & over. No real skill whatsoever.
In Cyrodiil, Sloads hasn't seemed to be an issue, but Battlegrounds on the other hand,...
Yes, ZOS, please nerf Sloads. Truly nerf it. Give it a cooldown or something, ffs. It's not that hard.Edited by JPcrazysquirrel3 on July 13, 2018 2:12AM"Wood Elves aren't made of wood. Sea Elves aren't made of water. M'aiq still wonders about High Elves."

Had an entire team running Sloads and Skoria yesterday. These were people who would barely last a few seconds in a fight without those set sets but because of the enormous amount of damage they can just turtle up and use a skill here and there and it provides an equal amount of pressure to fighting a much more experienced player. This is at least as bad as the viper/Selenes debacle, except that at least was relegated mostly to gankers and NBs. This is just bad across the board on all classes and doesn’t even require a play style.6 -

Current health. Which means that it wouldn't do anything on low health targets. Is actually a good proposal.2 -
