Now they nerfing iceheart? Wtf

Somber97866

Here we go,lol! They cannot go one patch without nerfing something,lol!
The reason people used to it over "Phoenix" and whatever else they said that it was compared to was because it actually worked as needed!
Well there goes another monster helm nerfed into Oblivion. and the fact that they reference some PVE stuff like VMA , haha! I don't know anyone that uses Iceheart in VMA to make score runs!
Maybe the brand new players who use it to get a complete until they learned all the mechanics and where the spawn spots are!
I'm not going to be happy until the necro which has been broken for 3 months now, stop casting magic siphon on its own even though it's sloted on the other bar on my Xbox controller!
I guess it's not happening like that on PC or else it would be all hands on deck to get it corrected! I guess we console players are just a bunch of peasants!

Goodness, I thought that was just me derping up my button presses! It happens to me occasionally on ps4 too.

you dont understand, the combat team are actually secret undercover agents from blizzard actively working on ruining our fun and the game in the process

I love Iceheart. It is such a reliable set.

Seems like ruining their own game is not enough anymore.

I guess all those PvP’rs got their way again. Got damn it!!

Somber97866

They Nerf the damage shield, they Nerf the damage and now it has a 6 second cool down. They essentially Nerfed it into uselessness!

Somber97866

that's why I think that those people that always praise ZOS and always defend them or actually the workers from ZOS logging on to bogus accounts and defending their company and decisions

Somber97866

Yay! Another useless monster helm to sit in my bank account and take up space. And me not deconning it just in case they decide to bring it back one day down the road is some retro bring back thing

This has nothing to do with PvP. People weren't using it much there and no one was complaining about it. It's being nerfed because the Mother Ciannait monster set coming in the new DLC is a crappier version and they wanted to try to make it look better (rather than just making it good on its own).

RIP my combat physician and iceheart NB...it was fun trolling with it while it lasted...

snoozy

honestly what is zos' problem with solo players?? this is so unnecessary and just plain mean.

people asked for a story mode. so let's make solo play even harder by nerfing their best defensive set into oblivion! now they'll have to run group content to experience the story and they'll be forced to buy the new dlc to farm a set that is only viable for templars

i'm so done with this. solo players are paying customers as well, you know??? and they would buy more dlc if they could actually run them solo without being forced to group by mechanics.

I'm with heaven 13 on this one.I kind of didn't realize that they had a new monsters that coming out that would do like that same thing.
You would think with all the creativity at ZOS they could come up with a new monster set that isn't so similar that they would have to Nerf iceheart to make way for it?

What is the description on that mother ciannait monster set? I honestly don't know.

(2 items) While in combat, casting an ability with a cast time or channeling an ability grants you a damage shield that absorbs 3000 damage for 10 seconds. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds.

Thank you @drkfrontiers !

So much for clearing vMA anymore.

This change will put my Warden Ice Tank build under a big question. I don't see any good alternatives, I don't want this change, and I don't understand why it's needed.

Except the new set does not do the same thing... You need a cast time/channelled ability to proc it.

Only Sorc/Templar have those in their usual possible rotation, so it's not even practically usable on most classes.

Just like they nerfed Warhorn to sell the Warden class, we’re going to keep seeing freely-accessible sets and abilities neutered so ZOS can sell players a “solution” to break even

I assume you were being sarcastic here, but I'll just quote myself from the other topic about Iceheart.

They don't use it for score runs they use it for no death runs.

Older sets over time are adjusted to make the newer sets look better. This happens in all MMO games to ensure that players move on from the older sets to the newer sets. It is just part of playing a MMO. You get use to the changes or simply find a solo player game where these changes rarely happen and if they do most players don't even notice or care.

I'm sure other sets will be adjusted down the road if to many players use them for one reason or another.

This sucks!!! i am seriously considering cancelling my subscription. I only play solo so all the other stuff doesn't matter to me. Please rethink this nerf!!!!
