Anyone actually planning to farm the Mother Ciannait monster set?

I will do the dungeon but I won’t be using the new monster set Mother Ciannaito after ZoS nerfed Iceheart without any good cause.

ZoS is truly testing the players faith again in the devs with such bad decisions. All the team did was make two more worthless sets for their new dlc.

Iceheart was a fun and useful monster set for a lot of people.

Too bad ZoS didn’t put their creative powers into making another interesting monster set, that was unique by learning from the first.

Nope.

My days of farming new sets only to have them nerfed into the ground 3 months later are over.

No

Templars are going to get a shield with their jesus beam now.

Edziu

No

was not using iceheart at all (Im also against nerf to this..this is just nonsense)
so Im not gonna even care about this set, all I will do is just to deconstruct few iceheart in my storage which I keep along with many other usefull monster sets even if I not use them

Get out in front of the crowd and invest in extra strength nerf templar threads now.

No

And for this they nerfed IceHeart.

I don't run magicka characters. Even if I did, this is still just a bad, underwhelming set.

No

It literally has no viable applications in ANY content with the proc conditions that it has.

This is good news, poor templars have been underpowered for a while now.

Why would anyone? This is not a replacement for Iceheart. I don't channel, so its useless.

No

I usually just do DLC dungeons on normal just for the skill point quest and clear, and then I buy the motifs during the anniversary event or undaunted celebration or whenever prices dip.

so no, not for me.

No

NO. On principle alone. Iceheart is good where it’s at, why mess with it. To drive sales? Why waste any more time farming sets when ZoS will nerf the build for Dev fun!? I’m really tired of the constant ‘rebalance’ and build nerfing. Clearly they have no real imagination to be innovative. Instead of making things better, tear down what exists to drive it to mediocrity and obsolescence!

Lmao. What "farming" is everyone moaning about. You just do the dungeon once and get it. Back in the day you had to farm to get right trait, now transmute. And if you don't get right weight then someone else in your group probably did, so trade. I don't see the problem here. Same with Iceheart. People sound like it was such great effort to farm it. You do pledges or randoms dont you? And both, Iceheart and the new one are garbage so why even create these threads.

No, I no longer plan to buy the DLC, and I don't pay for ESO+

If they bumped up the shield a little bit I would consider it on my heavy attack build. However, of they don't un-nerf Iceheart I won't use this set out of spite. For this new monster set, I'd like to see the shield strength, duration, and cooldown increased. I don't want to have to micromanage the set if I decide to use it in vMA.

In reality though I'll probably swap Plague Doctor on in vMA instead because grinding for sets is boring.

Radiance

No

I could be wrong but someone mentioned it restores Magicka when the shield breaks but even so it still sounds like trash but everything seems to these days.

What use is 3k dmg shield? My grandma does more than 3k damage...

I’m not going to fight to get it, but I’ll keep the pieces that drop in my chest.

Its not about just running the dungeon and getting the set, its about "wanting to get the set and actually use it" and for some people running the VET dungeons can be challenging, getting Thurvokun for example was a pain for me but I wanted that set, it made we learn the dungeon on VET and get that helmet.

As for this set specifically it has not gone live yet, they still have time to re-work it into something people will actually want to use in their builds.

Why should we be happy with a new set being garbage as you put it and an old set that no one has complained about over-performing being nerfed into garbage?


People are creating these threads because they are not happy with what is being planned and hope for something better being implemented when the dungeon DLC goes live.

I am not asking for some new overpowered set on release but at least one that people actually want to run the dungeon on VET to get, as it is I will end up running this new dungeon on normal for the skill point and probably not bothering with it again aside from helping guild mates out do the same.

Im not going to buy the dlc because of the iceheart nerf

Ascarl

No

While I usually refrain from jumping on the ZO$ bandwagon, I think this one is a obvious case of promoting a lackluster expansion ,(all dungeon DLC are IMHO) by nerfing a popular set in order to promote a new one.

Somewhere

No

Absolutely not. This set is a trap. It only activates when you use a channel or a cast time ability: so most people besides a templar can't take advantage of it easily without major build changes. 600 magicka return when the shield goes down is paltry and not even worth mentioning. Finally a 5000 damage shield is laughable. I would rather just slot a damage shield and be done with it. In PvP that value is cut down to 2500. That amounts to a single hit: garbage.

But that is damage shield sets in a nutshell. Any set that procs a damage shield needs a short cooldown and an easy proc condition. The value doesn't need to be necessarily high, but for it to be worth using it needs a decent uptime because a damage shield rarely lasts past 5 seconds.

I wont touch this set just to show that i dont find it ok to destroy another set to make an new one seem needed matter of fact this will be the 1st time i well wait for chapter to go on sale before getting it rest i have pre ordered but not ANYMORE if this is what they are going to do to boost sales

I just wait for the golden traider ... as always (DLC dungeons)

I dont farm. Not much at least, but when i have a chance to get it i will use it for some PvE stuff on the Templer. PvP i heal and dont need more defense. But in PvE it is nice for the Templer.

But wait for all the Proximity Detonators with a shield on cast LOL, a lot of people will farm this set and Cyrodiil will shout NERF !!
Proximity also works nice in Solo PvE. Proximity, Dawnbreaker etc...

Iceheart was popular as a jack of all trades set, a playstyle popular among solo players but mostly shunned for high end content because this game's mechanics promote "more DPS" as the solution to everything.

Iceheart wasn't OP, it was a perfectly balanced set for its purpose, and frustratingly one of the only sets that serves that jack of all trades (master of none) purpose. ZOS shouldn't be nerfing Iceheart, they should be creating more sets like it.

They're screwing over the majority of their player base because their magic spreadsheet says freaking ICEHEART of all sets is too strong and therefore a balancing problem for end game. It's like they don't even know how their own game plays...

At this point, there are more DLC monster sets than base game ones. So rng chances of gold vendor having those is higher with each dungeon dlc...

Ysbriel

Yes

And not for Templar....

Nirntrotter

No

Nerfing Iceheart doesn't change MC's baffling proc condition. That's why it's utterly superfluous compared to IH, not the fact that the shield is a little weaker or whatever.
