Officially the reason was that they were used to cheese achievements and mechanics, but they weren't actually used nearly enough for that to have a real impact. I still weep for the phoenix set, for it is now useless.

So like, a better version of the Psijic Ult? Still wouldn't be allowed in PvP because a whole group of necros doing this would break the game. lol
Let's not give peeps more reasons to call necros P2W.
In all seriousness an important part of combat is being punished for not using a skill or ultimate in time.
Eternal Yokeda and the Phoenix set both lost the OG ability to prevent your death. ZOS clearly does not want this type of passive effect in the game.
