Hrothgars chill set.

AshfieldLad

Hrothgar’s Chill - Heavy
2 – Adds 1206 Maximum Health
3 – Adds 1487 Armor
4 – Adds 1487 Offensive Penetration
5 – Stunning or Immobilizing your enemy causes them to burst with frost magic, applying the Chilled status effect and dealing 26% of their total Physical and Spell Resistance as Frost Damage to themselves and enemies within 8 meters of them. This effect can occur once every 7 seconds.

This was the thing that caught my eye mostly in the patch notes. Firstly i assume even if you streak 10 players this can only pop once or wow. But its still making me think. With most people running 30k + spell and Physical Resistance. 26% Dmg Seems really high. I know there's more dmg mitigation with the new major protection slottable and battle spirit passive but on my magsorc assuming im placing prey on a target and the execute all i have to do is streak someone for the stun (where u can also ice comet also if u want more burst) and not only does my streak dmg and stun them i'm gonna get a massive burst damage attack off their resistances as well. Plus its heavy so i just have to build for pen really my dmg isnt determined by my own spell dmg. Im not a massive pvp player perhaps someone can illuminate me on why this set isnt gonna be horrible?

It’s not. It’s like 17k damage with absolutely no personal resistance debuffs at cap on both sides.

Ignoring the fact that you are really tanky at cap and it hits someone with half those resistances for a pretty low amount with a high cooldown (thinking dps here), yeah…

I mean, you will already reduce someone’s resistances by about 6k with major and 3k (9k total). with minor which directly impacts the damage of this set…

This is not to mention the battle spirit reduction. This set is also 100% irrelevant in PvE.

i get reductions, but i was more going along the lines of building as much pen around it as possible using prob balorgh to proc even more pen and not stripping their resistances to get the most from the set. As i said im more pve player i only really venture into pvp for midyear, just wanted peoples opinions with real pvp knowledge

Most magicka classes can range and destroy DK with this set. Not to say some classes already have access to class purify and getting buffs this patch.
