Gaze of Sithis suggestion

Alucardo

So it's no secret, the general consensus is that this particular mythic is not so great because it takes up a monster set slot, it was nerfed quite hard (which was fair), health regen is useless in PvP, and you have literally zero block mitigation.
My suggestion would be to make the penalty 50% reduced block mitigation instead of 0. Alternatively, add a nice bonus of critical resistance to the set. It's just not worth losing block in its current state, or giving up a monster set.

Thanks.

It would be fine as is if stamina wasn't so incredibly imbalanced. I'm having limited success with it by running it with a heavy chudan shoulder to make up for having to run 5 light for war maiden and plasm. With those on and my rune active, I can still take 12.5k crits from nightblades. Relentless focus is ridiculous. Stam sorcs still melt me instantly.

They need to start by removing the absolutely nonsensical martial damage penalty from light armor. You know, the armor that already had a damage penalty by being light? After that, fixing the obvious imbalance in their poorly designed proc scaling to not favor stamina may help bring numbers in line for things like the vateshran 2H.

Also not sure why they felt the need to make 2H charge have so much preloaded damage either but that hasn't bothered me as much.

The recovery on Sithis isn't great but it's still a factor. Don't disregard it.

Using sithis on my healing build, with plasm and pariah, makes me nearly unkillable until an entire BG team of good players 4v1s me.

So I really don't think it needs buffed. I think we're just seeing it in the midst of a ton of other balance problems.

Oh, and to add to that, it takes getting used to. You'll instinctively block at first. Sithis pairs best with heavy healing, and it forces you to be strategic about dodge rolls, which you can do a whole lot more of if you're not having to lose stamina to blocking.

Dodge roll that. Oh wait, you can't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, I'm sure it isn't going to help on the one player on the planet who spams lightning heavy attacks in PVP lol

One player? I have more screenshots of dying to heavy attack lightning staff builds if you want to see them. It's not exactly rare in Cyrodiil right now. Can you dodge roll dragon leap? Not blocking that ability is like asking to die.

I'm not surprising about HA tbh. I even consider to get lightning staff on main bar for my mNB that wear DV+Caluurion lol because if you can't (and that 80% of time) finish that pesky stamina-something-not_so_tanky then it will be miss-miss-miss-hide or something like that
