during murkmire the crybaby community in masses of outrage specifically requested this change and so as per normal this is another nerf that was requested by the players that was detrimental to the game. As usual the community then blames zenimax for implementing the requested change is shocked that now only staves are viable and so begins again the loop of more crying from the community.
Streamers and content creators have way to much power over development teams by focusing the communities voice through the outrage mechanic.

Well said. Also I have the feeling couple are getting paid by ZOS to promote "newest chapter gear", which is the only way to explain the DD "new meta sets" lunacy and sheer hypocrisy.
I have yet to find someone to explain to me why Lokkestiiz is now "BiS" because someone said so, and not War Machine.... Especially on Ultimate spamming classes like NB, Warden, Templar.
Or why False God's Devotion is now "BiS" for Magicka DDs, yet VO dropped quickly out of favour for Stamina builds as soon as War Machine appeared. Surely someone run the maths up to now and found that Julianos is more powerful than Perfected FGD, let alone the normal FGD.

What a silly conspiracy theory. Test it on a target skeleton.
Lokke is powerful because you can get up to 75% Major Slayer uptime with a single synergy (15s with a 20s cooldown per synergy). That far exceeds the uptime any class can pull with War Machine. In a properly coordinated group you can get 8 DDs pushing 90%+ Major Slayer uptime. Plus, Lokke works on every class rather than just stamblades and stamdens ... particularly important since stamnecros have a very expensive but very powerful ulti.
And Perfected False God is strong for a few reasons. First, it's straight up better than VO because of its additional 5-piece bonus (which is basically equivalent to 233 Spell Damage). Second, 8% cost reduction is actually a larger raw resource savings given that Magicka skills are more expensive. Third, it allows you to build full damage everywhere else ... Like an Altmer with Bloody Mara food and Berserker/Flame enchants. Almost no build can sustain that setup using Julianos. So say you swap to Breton to compensate, then you lose 258 spell damage, which is larger than the difference between False God's and Julianos. And of course you also gain Minor Slayer.
How you got 233 Spell damage from 1096 Max Magicka?

Because the set also has 129 spell damage on the 5 piece. So 1096/10.5 = 104+129= 233.

And I quote youFirst, it's straight up better than VO because of its additional 5-piece bonus (which is basically equivalent to 233 Spell Damage).
The difference between VO and Perfected False God is 131 Spell Damage (which cannot be buffed) not 233 as you implied.
(you didn't factor in undaunted and CP300)
All that dps loss could be mitigated by some CP with 52.8 penetration per CP. The difference is still like giving each dps 26 extra CP to put into penetration. The 810 CP cap would technically have to be raised to something like 888 CP for DPS to get to put in that many points in the correct tree. 888 is a pretty lucky number I guess.

A Templar, NB, Warden, has 100% uptime on War Machine without the need to rely on synergies.
Also your maths are wrong. 1096 Maximum Magicka from perfected (gold) x 1.26 (CP300 + undaunted) = 1380 Max Ma / 10.46 = 131 Spell damage which cannot be buffed with things like Sorcery etc who affect spell damage.
