Kvatch Gladiator buff

Has anyone tested this set on PTS?

It may not be the best set ever but it can certainly speed up an execute phase for boss fights. Also even higher cleave damage from Reverse Slice. I’d Imagine a Stam Necro wearing Perfected Lokke+Kvatch Gladiator would hit some huge numbers in execute range.

And on a side note it would be greatly appreciated if Magicka users could finally get a set already :neutral: from Tzogvin’s, to Aegis Caller, to TFS, to others too. Magicka is still stuck with Mother’s Sorrow (or the crafted NMA ofc). I’m glad my Stam aren’t using Leviathan lol

Kvatch Gladiator: This set now increases your Weapon Damage against targets under 25% health by 1475, rather than increasing your Weapon Damage with Light and Heavy Attacks against targets under 25% health by 1800.

    This - ideally as a true front bar set, similar to Tzogvin etc.

    The downside is that you are running around without a 5th piece bonus for the majority of the fight. That's a lot of lost power. The buff is certainly good, especially in PvP this set will be quite useful, but for PvE it won't be used. The reason being that it doesn't matter how good your execute damage is if you can't reach execute phase because your dps is too low.
    This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.

    It’s still nice to have. If I’m helping a group which doesn’t have many necros/has low execute phase damage, I can speed it up myself with this set. 1475 base Weapon Damage is insane lol.

    Lokke’s Major Slayer+Kvatch+1x Phys Pen+1x Weapon Crit+3x Bloodthirsty+Dawnbreaker buff+Berserker Enchant = 170k+ Executioners? Idk. I’d like someone to test it

    In BGs:

    Kvatch+BloodthirtyX3

    Lurks until health starts to drop low in a group fight, then:

    Pop any AOE pulsing Ultimate centered on yourself -> Gap Close -> Turn Evil -> Spin to win

    Ultimate kill stealing machine.

    Just FYI, not sure if Kvatch has *actually* been updated. On PTS the tooltip still states that the buff only applies to light and heavy attacks.

    Haven't done enough tests to say if that's just a failure to update the tooltip or if the set didn't actually get updated.

    This is exactly why I dropped it for PVP when it granted the buff for light attacks. Light weaving Poison Injection at range with Hawkeye stacks was very effective on low health targets. But without that 5th bonus I could rarely drop a decent player low enough for it to matter.

    That’s lame :/ I’d appreciate you testing it if possible. Should be able to tell if you light attack a Target Skele from 26% Health to 24% Health. If there was a huge jump in your damage then it’s working despite the incorrect tooltip.
