Torug's Pact changed ?

barney2525

So I go to craft some gear for my magicka based new character, head off to the usual Julianos - Magnus - Torugs pact (since 2 rings = extra spell damage)

And I find out they Changed Torug's pact to a stamina set? 2 adds armor, 3 adds health, 4 adds armor, 5 decreases weapon enchantment cool down

wtf? Was it so over powering that it had to be changed? Didn't see anything in patch notes about it.

weird

IMHO

How is it a stamina set?

It was always used as a Tanking/proc set so it was modified to function like that.

For the OP, I would recommend trying Innate Axiom, Spell Parasite, or Stuhn's Favor.

Yup. When I first started playing and found out how hard combat was with my ping, I changed up to a tanky setup with Torug's and Fort Brass.... easy to stay alive for however long it took to kill something!

I don't see any mention of stamina there...

Just checked at Hammerdeath Workshop and ESO-Sets, both show the same:

Torug's Pact
LEVEL 50 - CP 160
Type Craftable
Set bonus
(2 items) Adds 1487 Armor
(3 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
(4 items) Adds 1487 Armor
(5 items) Decreases weapon enchantment cooldown by 33% and increases non Oblivion Damage weapon enchantment potency by 45%.

Mothers Sorrow, Torugs Pact, Iceheart combined using crystal blast was a great combo to solo worldbosses like Graveld or Queen of the reef in Summerset.

Except MS, each of them was nerved.
As a result, I no longer play on xbox EU, just some writs and filling up guildstore slots, as the gamer population decreased contantly. Worldbosses like mentioned above meanwhile became unplayable due to lack of players and due to such nerfs.

The result is an even increased exodus to the better populated NA server (that is so overcrowded now that it often crashes in solitude).
At least I can do the worldboss dailies there...

it had spell damage as an effect this was changed to health probably as most using it are tanks.

And I get the two rings idea, uses it myself, Stuhn's Favor has spell damage as first effect and can be used.
its an skyrim set however, other option is max magic as first bonus.

They switched spell-dmg => Armor!
And they buffed Torug's 5-pice!

It was changed to more of a tank set with Stonethorn. But the buff on the 5th piece makes it viable on any build - though maybe leaning a bit more towards magicka builds where you might rely more on the enchant for additional burst damage.

Fort Brass is like the weakest set i can think about now when i think about defense sets.

i don't know world bosses that can't be soloed. Even dragons in Elsweyr are soloable.
and lower population? don't know if you know the news but population is actually increasing.

learn to read. Xbox EU.

Now concerning:

"i don't know world bosses that can't be soloed. Even dragons in Elsweyr are soloable."

Well, YOU certainly can. YOU certainly also earned the godslayer achievement. You missed the point though.

Zero benefit for Magicka. One benefit for stam - Weapon.

Basically just a utility set, better for stam than magicka - whereas, it had been
2 - added spell damage

You could run a pair of 5 piece crafted sets on a magicka build and craft 2 rings for the extra spell damage.

Not anymore

Prob because its mostly used as a tank set. No weapon damage, but the faster and harder hitting enchants? Improved crusher procs. Wouldn't mind something other than armor, maybe extra healing received but whatcha gonna do?
