Any Curse Eater Fallout/Update?

GrumpyDuckling

In PTS Curse Eater got changed to its current state after originally giving 2 cleanses every 2 seconds on a heal. Since then, I haven't heard anything about it nor have I noticed anyone using it.
Did it just get nerfed out of use? Does anyone run it?

Curse Eater
(2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(3 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(4 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(5 items) When you heal yourself or an ally with a direct heal ability, remove up to three negative effects from them. If a negative effect was removed this way, your target restores 600 Magicka. This effect can occur every 8 seconds.

I haven't heard anything on it and it is sad that it got nerfed so bad from pts it could have been a good set if it wasn't butched.

Solariken

Yeah crybabies got it over-nerfed. 8 seconds cooldown destroyed this set IMO. I would have rather kept the 2 seconds and reduce to 1 effect for the reliable and consistent sustain and condition avoidance.

I like it now. Took me a while to decide.

Was horrendously OP on PTS so glad they sorted it before live server.

The cooldown could stand to be reduced to 5 seconds... it’s okay at the moment, but very situational. A slightly lower cooldown would make it more useful.

I use it for my Magblade healer:

It self procs from Forward Momentum and I take advantage of that with the build ensuring the 5 piece is only active on the 2H bar.

What I don't like about the set is that the proc is unreliable:

I tested getting stunned 10 times. 7/10 of those times it took 2+ seconds for it to proc and remove the stun. The other 3 times it actually removed the stun immediately.

I tested getting snared 10 times. 5/10 of those times it took 2+ seconds for it to proc and remove the snare. The other 5 times it removed the snare immediately.

For something that takes 8 seconds to cooldown and then takes another 2 or more seconds to activate is disappointing.

Obviously this could be lag related and likely this is the cause. I would really like to see the cooldown reduced to 4-5 seconds.

Does Entropy proc it? I want to make a build with this set but I also don't want to waste procs on other players w/ a skill like mutagen lol.

The set is dead... Another set that nobody use...

nope, people freaked out and cried about it on PTS because it ruined their ability to gank and bleed people to death and it was nerfed to uselessness.

its a bad sustain set, use bright throats.

I use it. Not for sustain although it's a welcome bonus. It's giving my MagDK the ability to Purge regularly, I think sets that allow a class to use something which otherwise they have no access to are brilliant tbh (I know I can run Purge but it's costly, only 2 negative effects and a waste of a slot). You can see the proc here:-

It's the blue flash on my characters body. It can often un CC me, roots etc which is mega, always cleanses Curse because of the long duration, Stam DK's can *** off too, Bleeds and Sloads are RIP if Curse Eater catches them on time.

Don't just jump to the conclusion it's crap because it was nerfed before trialling it out yourself. It works great on MagDK, Magblade and I heard good things from Sorcs too.

I notice this too. I think it surprises some Sorcerers.

One set dedicated to Curse-Eating xD

Glory

Due to public outcry, this set was poorly changed to make it niche at best.

Rather than make it a useful healer set with strength along the lines of Transmutation, Spell Power Cure, Olorime, etc., it is now another unused tier set that you have to sacrifice a likely much better 5 piece for.

Why I love having Inevitable Detonation on my bar as well. I will not be denied my booms

Kadoin

I use the set and find it great ... Then again, I had every piece gold before the changes.

Trancestor

Would be a very viable but not OP backbar set if the cooldown was 6 seconds and it would proc only on yourself, but they just had to go overkill with the nerf.

React

Great set for solo cyro play on mnb, mdk, msorc. If it had gone live any stronger than it currently is, it would have been broken.
