3 seconds is not enough or 15 seconds is too long. Make it somehow viable set to use.

    3sec dmg reduction, can be timed with hravy hitting mechanics. Leave as is.

    @kikkehs um when it comes to a random proc no it cant be timed. it does need a increase in duration as 3 seconds really is far to low 10 seconds would make it viable enough while still remaining balanced.

    @DuskMarine it's not a "random proc" though. Guaranteed proc when you bash a taunted target.

    Yeah, this set is really underwhelming. Then they made it worse by only proccing on bash instead of taunt.

    Gg ZOS for making another garbage monster set. cough cough Domihaus anyone?

    they actually made a set where it procs when we hit something thats new. monster sets always are random. oh well even still 3 seconds aint enough still needs about 5-10 seconds as the bosses do have a wind up time. and even starfall from warrior is about a 5 or 6 second so the set is useless for 50% of the time its needed.

    5-6sec would be broken OP. As then you could actually get some %uptime on that ***.

    You do know that the only other source of major maim is from ultimates, right?

    ^ That's false. Plenty of monster sets require you to hit for them to proc. (i.e., Tremorscale and Maw of Infernal)

    (1 item) Adds 4% Healing Taken
    (2 items) When you bash an enemy you have taunted, you frighten them with a deafening howl, applying Major Maim to them for 3 seconds, lowering their damage done by 30%. This effect can occur once every 15 seconds.

    Please read on the set before screaming. 100% chance on bash if enemy is taunted. So you have 100% control of when it procs.

    And 3sec major maim on guarantee landing.

    Only other source for major maim is from a NB ultimate.

    yea but you dont actually need major maim >_> long as the tank is worth a crap. this set is not worth actually using wow what a missed opportunity by zos to make another decent tanking monster helmet crap.

    3 seconds duration is pure lol. if you need survivability use meridia that will amke all attacks of enemy to miss you for 5 seconds with cooldown of just 10 seconds. Way better in both PvP and PvE compared to this piece of trash.

    This set to be any viable in both PvP and PvE should have duration of 5 seconds if cooldown will remain 15 seconds. or reduce cooldown to 10 seconds.

    3sec is enough for progresing grp too survive mechanics that would whipe them. No score grp will use it. But I know a few progression grps that will use this set.

    guys, I tried this set again the whole run as we completed vMHK last night and again I must confirm it's just utter garbage in it's current form. You have to dodge some 1 shot aoe's all the time and almost never get the chance to time it right. A second too soon or some server lag and the effect is completely wasted. It's just completely ridiculous. Shame, it looked so useful on paper :(

    spot on ! Couldn't agree more after extensive testing again last night on all sorts of mobs and a full dungeon run

    Miss chance doesn't affect bosses.

    I don't know why everyone is losing their mind here, it's an obvious PVE tanking set and it isn't much better or worse than all the other ones we have right now. There are situations where it will be useful on raid tanking. And there are situations where it won't. Not that bad tbh.

    Personally, I can think of two solutions:
    1. Increase the Major maim duration on vykosa from 3 seconds to 4 seconds.
    2. Reduce the cooldown from 15 seconds to 13 seconds, allowing a 10 second window between each proc instead of a 12 second window after the debuff wears off.
    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.
