Constructive [feedback] on new sets

Hello everyone,after a quick discussion with my guildies i felt the urge to make a generale thread about the new sets.
Lets talk about the major problem: PROC SETS
I really dont understand why every patch the combat team comes up with mostly proc set since is one of the most hated thhing by the community.
We have:
Icy Conjuror (Light)
5 – Applying a minor debuff to your enemy summons a non-reflectable Ice Wraith that will charge into your enemy, dealing 18920 Frost Damage over 4 seconds. This effect can occur every 12 seconds.
While it still have to be tested (could be a flop like flame blossom or a new viper) the tooltip is really high and its easy to proc and also the 4 bonuses are the best ones you can get.
Auroran’s Thunder (Light)
5 – When you damage a nearby enemy with a single target ability, you summon a cone of lightning from your chest for 3 seconds, dealing 1285 Shock Damage every 0.5 seconds to enemies in the cone. This effect can occur every 6 seconds.
This one really scares me. On a templar it will proc on toppling charge 100% of the time, and imagine pairing this beast with overwhelming surge or another set like skoria. Of course,one can tecnically avoid the cone,but after a cc and with puncturing snare it will be really hard
Then we have the other major problem: permablocking
With the new two monster mask coming,it'll be possibile to build a permablocking character fairly easy.
-Stonekeeper (Monster Mask): This one is really,really good on any healbot. Just equip this set and running out of resources (one of the few ways to kill those 28k+ health bol spammers) wont be a problem anymore. Also good on any tank and spank setup (who said fury+7th legion ?),maybe too good.
-Symphony of Blades (Monster Mask) : This one is quite balanced,as in a group i imagine it will rarely proc on you, but is absolutely amazing for any solo player.
Last but not least: the new cyrodiil sets
-Deadly stike: Pairing this set with VDSA axes will cause many no bueno situations
-Curse eater: Really good,could be OP and will destroy dot builds (not that im a fan of them tho)
Other sets are quite useless, keep in mind that im talking from a pvp perspective. ZOS seems to really enjoy Fury,cause not a useful stam set came since thieves guild.
How the meta will shift?
Even tho is still early, we can assume that players will come up with some absolutely cancer setups, pairing proc sets,infinite resources and tankyness. And thats exactly the pre-morrowind situation. The game was on the right track but i fear we're going bacward with balancing this patch.
P.S. As im not,i swear, biased im crying inside since we have another 4 months of Stamina dk being completely useless in group play. C'mon,at least give us a stamina morph of deep breath.

Austinseph1✭✭✭✭✭Proc sets are the coolest ones tho. I don't care much about PvP, but in PvE proc sets feel good to activate and just feel cool to have. It's definitely one of the more fun aspects of ESO.1 -

as for me whiel playing since beta...proc sets are the biggest cancer in this game
I remember meta for tankw ith proc's on pvp....sick af before 1st nerf to them...
and now on pve relequen is meta and must have for most stam build to have comparable dps with magica builds
and this set itsefl is doing 5-10k dps difference between any other set...Im sick of it not much because it is behind summerset....but mostly I hate this set as thi is as simply proc set *** which dont even need to much more skill than LA spam on your target
while I dont like proc sets at pvp...same I hate them in pve and they nbever should do better dps than simple sets with stats or other stat boosting as for proc set...you dont need skill to mage damage...set will do damage instead of you so you dont need even to think much to deal damage via proc set and by this these sets should never make bigger difference in dps than sets for boosting your stats at which you need to make an use with your skill to make this damage1
