    Who does even use Zaan in PvP, except those who need a carry? Not like if it was meta.

    I’d like for them to make it more clear that you are being affected by it. In cluster situations it’s hard to see what’s going on till the death recap hits. Wouldn’t nerf the ability itself though..: if you don’t get out of the range than it’s on you at that point.

    Good counter is block only last 2-3 ticks of Zaan proc, it not cost too much stamina and avoiding more then half damage, but better enemy stunning u in last 3 ticks. I laught when reading just don't go Meele range, how can I deal damage as stamina Meele spec? Also stun isn't counter because any competent player proc Zaan when they have immovability. That damage + some dots + boost from ulty + spamable is too much. This set is bis also in pve because of massive damage.

    Only issue I have with Zaan is how the LoS can be wonky at times. I'll have it ticking through walls. But I guess I am assuming it shouldn't do that, comparing with stuff like radiant destruction and soul assault.

    This, plus in open world Cyro the beam frequently doesn't render.

    The problem isn’t ZAAN it is tank builds running Zaan for damage. Fix the protection builds two problems solved.

    For those of you saying the zaan is op, lets compare its to a often used sister set skoria

    How to deal with zaan
    • Dodge roll AWAY from the user so the beam breaks
    • Purge the effect
    • Kill the user
    • CC the user and run
    • Break line of sight with the user
    • Literally create 8 meters of distance between you and the user
    • Use a ward/shield
    • Out heal the damage

    How to deal with skoria
    • Block [provided you noticed the tiny easy to miss tell]

    oh and before I forget.

    How to NOT deal with zaan
    • Block it [no cp only]
    • Complain on forums
    • Stand there like a potato
    • Run towards the user
    • Run circles around the user
    • dodge TOWARDS the user

    Never heard of ppl using zaan in pvp simply bc it's too unpredictable and easy to counter. Frankly, zaan doesn't even play well in most pve. It has a couple very specific perfect situations:
    1.) vet trial / dungeon bosses where the bosses aren't too mobile and the player will have very high close range uptime. This is to make full use of the proc.
    2.) soloing world bosses
    In every other situation, like norm content, overland, mobile bosses, a mag user would be far better served using other sets.
    Longtimer since beta, the usual. 26 CP toons. ~1700cp on main account, 1000cp on 2nd account. Endgame-ish lol. Most Vets / some HM's cleared.

    Valkyn, Tremorscale, Nerien'eth, Sellistrix, Kra'gh, Stormfist, and Selene are all garbage- to varying degrees.

    Zaan and Velidreth are the only ones that still pack a punch.

    Healing is strong AF these days. Zaan is a joke to counter now. Almost no one runs it either. I might see a Zaan proc 1 or 2 times a week and I live in BGs.

    If you can’t counter play in PvP you have many more problems than calling a monster helm “free damage”... It’s incredibly easy to counter and has a long cooldown. If they beat you with Zaan it’s simply because they outplayed you.

    Maybe not with CP because you can block it but in nocp u left without stamina after blocking 5sec of Zaan proc+defiled + 20% damage. Nerf it! Counter is shade or streak, not everyone using it.

    Everyone can slot purge so everybody got a way to counter or just LOS

    Counters: rolldodge - it's undodgeable
    Move away - not counter because of charge
    Block - cost too much in nocp
    Los - viable if there are some rocks
    Shades, cloak or streak - not everyone have
    OutHeal - hardly if defiled with soulharvest
    Shielded - partially viable only for mag char - cost too much in nocp
    Stun - partially viable because of immovable, u can die while stunning.
    Avoid ulty after stun - sometime stun bugged and can't break for full 1sec, eg. Fear
