Why ZOS can't make all Maelstrom weapons useful?

    We are seeing a Renaissance when it comes to vMA weapons in pve, the dual wield, the 2h and the bow are all going to be a viable option for Stam. And of course the destro is still best in slot. So only the s/b and resto need help.

    In PvP even too ... I still run vMA Greatsword back bar on my Stamina Nightblade.

    Though the Resto is going to the trash heap after the Regeneration nerf (unless ZOS decides to revamp it).

    "When you critically heal with Regeneration, you restore 800 Magicka. This effect can occur once every 4 seconds."

    I'm still trying to get this to drop, but what changes to Regeneration are hurting this?

    Going from 16-20 second to 5-10, rapid regen vs mutagen. Also going from 2 targets per cast to only one for both morphs.

    Ok, I thought I missed something else. That's not a great change for it, but it doesn't seem like a deal breaker for me. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing the arena sets get an update

    Not a game breaker indeed, but lowering the chance for the proc by aprox 4 times, when it was not used anyway, yeeeeeeee sucks.

    Edit: ye, salt, i was using it on my hybrid tank healer for dungeons

    Per the patch notes: "Thunderous Volley: This item set will now retain its bonus if you bar swap before it can first register its damage. Rejoice, as you no longer need to sit around twiddling your thumbs before continuing your rotation!"

    YESSSSSSSSSS

    Yeah but now the skills is basically like vigor so you're going to have it up most of the time anyway.

    I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.

    Up on whom? I was using it to off heal while tanking vet dlc. The skill might be stronger, but when i will have time to keep it up 100% on 3 dds? Also mag tank so low stamina so the new (and better vigor) is not strong enough to justify it's slot
