It doesn't pay off to use both shock and fire damage anymore? Since only one can be active at once?Ilambris:
Increased the damage done from each meteor shower to 2015, up from 1170. You can no longer layer each meteor shower.
Increased the proc chance to 33%.
Fixed an issue where this set was triggering other proc sets.
Fixed an issue where this set’s Fire Damage was not extended by Elf Bane.

How is this a nerf? To me it looks like a buff. I did test it, and illambris has been buffed compared to live. Plus it is now viable for all magicka classes not just magsorc while at the same time improving your FPS since there is not so much particles that need to be rendered by the game. win win.
Uniqueness gone. Nerf.

Right. I didn't consider the proc chance increase. Unless my reasoning is faulty, average dps would be 0.1 * 2 * 1170 = 234 on live and 0.33 * 2015 = 665 on PTS. So you are right, it's actually a substantial buff.
Testing on a mag dk with elfbane illambris outperformed zaan, so to me it looks like a net buff. Not sure about other classess tho, the current live version is horrible on DKs. Skoria is still absoloutely horrible averaging to about 1.5k dps, nerienth is somewhere around 2.3 - pretty meh.

how is this set now viable on a magDK...we dont have shockdmg
Same goes for templar, warden and NB....maybe a few exception, depending on Aoe fights.
(both in consideration of the vAS Flamedestro beeing nerfed as is now)
Sorc is the only class that uses a reasonable ammount of shock attacks to proc the Shockmeteors, and Flamestaff in Combo for the Flameproc.
While overall it might be a buff, the set is still a bit to far in the magsorc neash to be viable on all classes IMO.
Anyone else done some monster helm testing? On single target magblade i tested all of the mag dps sets and got these results : zaan>kjalnar>nerienth>skoria. Would be great if they made more mag dps sets viable than zaan...

That's honestly what happened to me. As a magsorc I split my damage, and it was a good set to use because I could get most of the benifits. The 10% proc chance barely bothered me. I'm now thinking of switching to Valkyn Skoria or Nerien'eth. What do you think?

No, that’s not how it works on PTS. If you proc the Lightning, still only the Lightning meteor shower appears, but both the Lightning and Fire go on cooldown for 8s. You cannot have both effects simultaneously, and you cannot even proc one after 5s (when the effect ends), you must wait the full 8s even between different elemental procs.
