Darloc Brae's - Stamina regen works while I am moving, resulting in "infinite sneak stamina"

Dusk_Coven

Is this really intended? Especially when being Detected doesn't turn it off.

It says you get the regen "while crouching and not blocking". Does not say anything about having to stand still. There's another set that does have the "standing still" requirement tho, maybe you're confusing the two?

idk

Yes and it would not make sense you would have to stand still since we regen stam when crouched and not moving as it is.

It's just that on the surface it seems overpowered. Presumably the health regen doesn't turn off either, so it's now the go-to set for fleeing if you can get the ability to ignore Sneak movement penalty. Just stay crouched and keep moving. I haven't tried it against guards yet though.

And if you can keep moving while Sneaking, it increases the roaming of gankers a lot in Cyrodiil since you can run pretty fast.

You are most likely thinking of this Shadow Walker
(2 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage
(3 items) Adds 1096 Max Stamina
(4 items) Adds 129 Stamina Recovery
(5 items) While you are Sneaking or invisible and are not moving, heal for 2150 Health and restore 2150 Stamina every 1 second.
And yes im pretty sure darlocs is intended that way I have it my self I love the aura that comes off it

Part of me wonders how strong the regen would be with both darlocs and shadow walker together sitting still but I guess it doesn't have much practical application so theres no point in testing it.

There are ways to ignore sneak movement penalty, but you still can not sprint, making it unsuitable for fleeing.

Very few people are going to use the 5 piece bonus though. It has been designed (brilliantly) to synergise with Night Mother's Embrace and Night Terror.

3 pieces of Night Terror - Reduces the radius you can be detected while sneaking by 2 meters. Reduces the cost of sneak by 27%
4 pieces of Darloc Brae's - Reduces the radius you can be detected while sneaking by 2 meters. Reduces the cost of sneak by 10%.
5 pieces of Night Mother's Embrace - Reduces the radius you can be detected while sneaking by 2 meters. Reduces the cost of sneak by 25%

Wearing all of these sets together make for super easy thievery and Sacraments

You can roam all day in sneak with darlocs but killing people in this tank meta with only 1 damage set even with a good monster proc set like velidreth it aint easy youd probably have to roll for balorgh instead for the weapon damage and bring a hard hitting ult



As far as the sneak movement penalty you can just stage 4 vamp for dark stalker I think the passive is called and that's your sneak speed but if you try to go darlocs for free sneak regen and say nights silence for the no movement penalty in sneak you will not have the damage to kill much you might get some pvers at quest turn ins when their afk that's it lol


though we might get lucky with the other DLC's coming later on this year maybe they will introduce some better med armor sets that will synergize with darlocs or shadow walker.

Staying in shadows doesn't make anyone OP because it doesn't affect combat. Don't make this set useless

Imho gankers needs sets that will provide more burst dmg. So if someone is making a ganker build, it is unlikely to use this set.

What this set rly is : it is a perfect anti-ganker set.

Combain this with sets like "Night's Silence" (crafted so it should be easy to get):
(5 items) Ignore Movement Speed penalty of Sneak.

Add 3x swift jewelry and... You can go almost anywhere in cyro or ic if you want to avoid the pvp.

Could be useful combo for the next event (as it will probably be midyear mayhem again) just to do daily scouting mission & get event tickets.
