HONORABLE MENTIONS:
ALL OPTIONS BELOW THIS POINT MUST BE WRITTEN IN, IF YOU VOTE FOR ANOTHER OPTION YOUR VOTE GOES TOWARD WHATEVER POLLING OPTION YOU SELECTED

@ApoAlaia


@Jman100582


@Oreyn_Bearclaw (I wasn't sure if he was submitting this for discussion due to sticky DOTs being nerfed to once per 2 ticks or as an under powered set)


there is a 10 poll limit, this being the case I had to limit the options. Some were moved to honorable mentions for not providing a link to the set or any corresponding screenshot.

IMPORTANT! IF YOU BELIEVE AN HONORABLE MENTION SHOULD BE DECLARED WINNER: please indicate so in the comments and cast your vote there in a clear manner by saying "I vote for [set name] or simply post the screenshot I already have up as a response- do not post a list please. Most of the honorable mentions were moved there for not following the format I requested (which makes it easier to do these sorts of polls since they can be time intensive to set up).

remember, *you can encourage friends to vote* for your option, but I will remind everyone that you should vote for the worst current set as I will feature these in another community choice awards topic.

Suggestions came from this topic: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/617511/week-1-what-is-the-worst-monster-helm-set-bonus/

I encourage voters who would like to see reasoning to visit that topic, and for others to carry the discussion over to this topic as the voting begins so people can make more informed decisions.

Good luck!

Voting will end Thursday at 11:59 PM EST (I extended the deadline since I will not have a worst monster helm contest next week)

Nightflame

I'm going to predict ahead of time that Spawn of Mephala is going to win.

For this list, I choose Nightflame. I've mained a healer for 8 years, and I still don't find much use for it.

WuffyCerulei

Glorgoloch the Destroyer

There's worse imo. Not sure why Nazaray or Bogdan are on the list as they're both pretty important in raids.

Jamie_Aubrey

Infernal and Valkyn where such fun to play with, which infernal I could spam shields and just watch this being lobbed over the walls to the enemies inside a keep before they fixed it

ApoAlaia

Pirate Skeleton

Even though I proposed Molag Kena, because the bonus doesn't justify having to lose a skill cast every 6s and the hefty ability cost penalty I concede that Pirate Skeleton takes the mouldy biscuit of uselessness.

I still don't understand the general dislike of Nazaray though, it is pretty good on trials.

RoJo for buffs and Nazaray for debuffs contribute substantially to uptimes. I wonder what monster set those who voted Nazaray use instead.

CP5

Infernal Guardian

I guess of the lot an RNG chance to do an attack against some random target you may or may not want to damage, who may move out of the attack before it reaches them gets my pick, but still some both popular and useful sets listed here..

kevkj

Pirate Skeleton

I submitted Nightflame, but from this list I think Pirate Skeleton is the true worst because it's the only one that quite possibly hurts the user.

So any nomination was accepted. Your comment is very valid as were other players who had the same reaction, and there may be players who disagree- for example, someone may say "why use nightflame when you can use rhukgamz and give back resources AND heal"- or someone may talk about the trinimac's valor 5 pc set and say that it provides damage while healing. I'm not personally siding with any of these opinions, but speaking your mind in these topics can be very helpful for players in the long run.

The price of inclusivity of all submissions is that some viable ones are going to wind up in the polls- as I'm not here to invalidate anyone's opinion- but the community is here to vote for the one that is actually weakest.

i think it was a context thing for nazaray, the case mentioned was from a pvp perspective

Jarl_Ironheart

Glorgoloch the Destroyer

Anyone who chooses Nazaray... please explain to me why? That thing mixed with Turning Tide or other debuffs absolutely is BiS for tank helms. I got it recently and it makes my group dps shoot up when you can get 30 seconds of major vulnerability.

Also, I meant vote for shadowrend but my browser bugged out and picked the top. So oops there
