Saw no end of complaining about the DK set, why don’t we just disable the archive sets from working in pvp?

Same as they made plaguebreak pvp only.

It could be a great set for some unique encounters such as vcr triple miniskip.

    How about we just finally nerf the real problem corrosive you can argue that high ult gen will result in essentially god tier sustain for dk but nearly everyone you ask why it would make dk to strong in pvp will tell you "they will just sit in corrosive 247" the ultimate is the real problem

    I had the same thought. If the PvP players don't want nice things then just make them all PvE only and they can stick with the current meta.

    PVP players want nice things, we just don't want that nice thing to become the only thing.

    I sincerely doubt it will become the only thing, but even if it does then at least it will be balanced, because everyone will be running the same build. :smile:

    That's... not balance, and yes, this will become the meta where you play this or you spend all your time rezzing at a keep/base/spawn point. One just needs to look at how the entire PvP landscape has become dominated by vat destro/masters DW to see how an overperforming meta set up will suffocate out anything that isn't that meta.

    I can think of a number of instances where this set would be great.

    Main tank on reef guardian in vdsr hm
    Main tank on triple mini skip in vcr hm

    Other score push strats. Especially if combined with the vestments

    Bingo. Someone is paying attention here. This is already a topic of discussion in my raiding and score pushing guilds. If it should go live as is, trust me, we have come up with plenty of potential uses already 😉

    Magma Shell has never been a problem, at least in PvP

    The problem is literally just corrosive armor they need to either make it a defensive skill or a offensive skill it's pretty much a hey I take no dmg and ignore all your resistances lol button it's a serious problem once you allow really high uptime

    Corrosive isn't the biggest problem with DK using ulti gain sets. The passive that gives you back health, stamina and magicka which directly scales from your ulti gain is.

    They could just make you unable to get ulti while corrosive is up and change that passive into some other form of sustain that doesn't scale.

    I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but almost every time a new set comes out. 99% of the complaints are from pvp players. It really wouldn’t hurt for this set to be kept as is for pve only.

    Sure fix corrosive armor if that’s the best solution.

    this new class item set maybe will turn the current balance in pvp upside down. It may create a mess like the original oakensoul implementation back then. It was a sweet 1vx dream...

    This set is a bad idea for PVP, not even a zerg just 8-10 gamers would be UNKILLABLE. Bad Idea!

    Oh im well aware of this. Im actually not a fan of it going live it its current form. Im only saying if it did it absolutely would be useful for pve. I don't play dk, i don't like dks much to the disappointment of my raid teams. Should this go live my poor sorc would be even more outmatched then he is now.. and no i dont use the vat cheese build 😆

    One of the reasons Oakensoul was so op back then was sets like pre-nerf Plaguebreak where you could nuke whole groups. Oakensoul also gave you Major Berserk and Major Courage back then too.

    Even after nerf Plaguebreak is still blowing up groups.

    Not to mention, the new Azureblight is arguably even better than pre-nerf Plaguebreak, as it also has scaling, can still proc off mobs, and doesn't require a kill to proc.

    As a DK you don't have to crutch on corrosive as DK has many tricks in their kit.
    If you do you haven't learned to play your class and adapt your build to PvP.

    sea serpents gives both of those buffs too and you get to use both skill bars.
