Proc sets meet "unkillable" tanks. Unmovable object meets irresistible force.
I suspect they put proc sets in to deal with the tank problem. It does work. You can melt the tanks now easier than before.
But a skilled tower humping tanktroll will still beat a procsetting potatoe.
BTW proc set meta is a huge boon to cloak, making it even more powerful-- it suppresses dots...(Shhh)

I don't hate the potatoes that wear it though. I mean yes, it is absurdly annoying to get absolutely covered in procs everytime you're fighting more than one person, especially while playing a class without access to a purge, but that's whatever. Potatoes live to get smashed, and they'll find their way into the grinder procs or no procs.
No, I hate the good players that use them. The people who have a solid understanding of how to play the game and how to build a character.
Those people are the problem. Those are the folks who can make a character that can tank absurd amounts of damage, then turn and burn through anyone in front of them who's not of equal or higher skill. "But they could do that before!" you say, and to that I respond that yes, they could. Procs didn't give them the ability to do something they couldn't before, they just gave them the ability to do what they were already doing, only better, and they kind of broke the meta in the process.
And of course it was them who did it. Because who else would it be? No, of course it was the people who actually study the patch notes and theorycraft and test builds and know how to play. And I mean honestly I ain't even mad at them, nor do I blame them. The devs dropped this wonderful gift in their laps, how stupid would they have to be to not take advantage to be as strong as possible?
The thing I don't get though, is how did the developers not see this coming? You're telling me you drop malacath while making procs the best thing in the game and...you couldn't predict that the actual PvPers were going to take that and make a bunch of crazy powerful builds? Builds they would then use to turn around and terrorize the very low APM people you've trying to make the game easier for so they don't have to learn to play it in the first place?
Anyone should have been able to predict this, but the developers either didn't, [snip] I don't know which it is, but neither answer inspires confidence in the future of this game.
Anyway, the TLDR is: Procs suck.

The thing is people tried to warn zos about this.... hell isth3reno1else made multiple videos on it but the forums replied that it's just the elitits afraid of equal playing fields and that people saying a proc meta is incoming don't know what they are talking about..... and then we got proc meta and the forum hates it now and is asking why no one warned them..... 10/10 forums
I agree, but I think it may depend on where you're playing, e.g. CP / no CP (BGs) and maybe the server you're on. I certainly agree 2H / 1H+S is meta for most stat builds, although I favor 2h / bow on stamsorc and would guess that is the meta for stamblade. In CP PC EU I see a mixture of everything and I play half proc (magblade, stamsorc) half stat (stam DK, magplar) myself.procc sets are META? What game do u playing? i see more and more 2h/sword & board / frenzied momentum / 30k+ hp builds.in comparison, i see little real procc builds
