Earthgore.... is it heading for nerfdom?

mattaeus01b16_ESO

I keep hearing the same thing over and over. "Earthgore will be single target now!!"... Is it being nerfed? Specifically, is it being nerfed for PvE?

Siohwenoeht

I haven't read anything official. I know it's getting the "OP in pvp" treatment. I also laugh when someone says others are rolling out of the aoe because they thinks it's damage.

SoLooney

It's a burst heal but dont count on earthgore saving your life all the time

Theres a reason for the long cooldown

Tasear

The purposed rumor will make it useless in pve content.

Vancali

Better not be nerfed. Took me 4 runs with people just to finish Bloodroot to get the damn helm in the first place. That was about 3+ hours of time.

A screenshot was leaked a couple of weeks ago.

(1 item) Adds 4% Healing Done
(2 items) When you heal yourself or an ally under 50% health, you conjure a pool of quenching blood underneath them, immediately removing all previous enemy placed effects, and healing the lowest Health ally in the area for 31200 Health over 6 seconds. This effect can occur once every 35 seconds.

You're welcome.

I guess healers will actually have to start using abilities again in PvE. Woe is me.

ccfeeling

2nd time nerfing ?

From pvp perspective again?

Lame. Time to switch to another set then.

templesus

One of the greatest changes ZOS has done in this game if it goes through. Set is a hard carry in PvE and PvP.

Red_Feather

I only used it to solo difficult areas for me. It's like an emergency safety net.

Kadoin

I don't know, do you think a set that is roughly 2x 5 piece sets in one 2pc set is not going to get nerfed? Does there even exist a 5 piece that can compete with it? How is that balanced...?

Red_Feather

Maybe it exists is to sell the Horns of the Reach DLC.

therift

Third time is the charm for nerfs, I guess

SidraWillowsky

Muahahaha this won't affect me in the slightest since I'm a squishy stamblade.

I knew the lack of health would come in handy at some point...

Would be a bad move. Chokethorn ba does the exact same thing. Redundant set with rumored change.

DisgracefulMind

Thank goodness they're adjusting it, but they need to keep it at only one ground effect being removed.

no, the anti-ground DoTs was what it was meant to be

the AoE healing was overkill, the proc conditions make the ground AoE negation finicky and tbh I'm of the opinion it should only proc on direct healing so people can more easily control when it goes off

No 2 piece monster helm should negate every ground ultimate in the game and highly likely multiple of them at once; it's ridiculous. Negating one ultimate? I guess.

Fun part worst for PvP and PvE😯
Yes let's negate everything.
Yes let's get rid of only other aoe heal monster set besides nightflame.

WTB Chokethron smart heal buff

firedrgn

I dont get that invested in any one set. It was fun for pugs but at the end of the day not even earthgore can keep some people alive.
Its kinda a wasted set .. in the fact that the only people that need it are pugs and pvp.

You just dont need it if you learn mechanics. And it really wont save you at the of the day.

first_kodiak

In PvE, earthgore currently is a good safety net for dungeons and trials. A nice and automated "oh crap" button. Making it single target makes it completely useless.

PVP whiners are the only people who like this change. And people who never play healers.

Nope, I just recently quit PvE raiding, as a healer main, have no death titles such as Immortal Redeemer and Tick-Tock Tormentor. The only time I ever used Earthgore was in vAS HM as the tank kiter. Other than that there are better options.

As someone who has been a passionate healer in this game since basically launch, I fully identify how unhealthy Earthgore is for the PvP aspect of the game; it absolutely needs a nerf.

Now if healers don't like being pigeon-holed into Bogdan, then ZoS needs to add variety, but that doesn't mean leaving an unhealthy set in the game running rampant.

Rygonix

Yep, if this goes through I will switch to Bogdan's and be done with it. People can stick the monster set stigma on someone other than healers for a change. Good riddance.

Exactly anything that hurts the solo PvP experience is turned to useless for groups. So healers actually saved lives in PvP so let's Nerf them? I am tried of group play not being considered with changes.

Trinity_Is_My_Name

I don't doubt it will be nerfed again and again until it's worthless due to PVP Whine. Simple solution is to turn off all proc sets in PVP environments.

mairwen85

Where is the leaked screenshot?

Jameliel

Bogdans > Earthgore. Why is whoever in char
ge of set creation and implementation still in charge? Why? If you cant put stuff into the game without nonstop nerfing, then it speaks volumes about your lack of skill. Clearly they are incapable of handling the work. It's been 5 years and still nerf after nerf. People need to be replaced asap. Period. Point. Blank. /

You don't play PVP, do you?
