The idea is to allow for more customization and more combinations that are good/top-end, + provide bonuses for the intermediate steps on set bonuses. Right now there are only a handful of good set combinations. After 1.3 there will be a lot more, particularly for PVP. Of any change Zenimax has made to this game, the set rebalancing & redo is BY FAR the best addition/fix.

I love the changes and feel it will greatly improve itemization in the game. Most people seem to be upset more to be upset then really understanding why they are upset.

I do feel for those who have all legendary Willow's Path and Twilights embrace for the 10% spell crit. Would go a long way for ZoS if they made it 3 pcs of willow and 4 pcs of twilights still give 10% spell crit to stop all the crying. (BTW I do have VR12 legendary versions of willows and twilight's but only use Willows atm).

Biggest thing I wish they would do is increase the spell damage soft cap by another 18 spell damage. I feel 129 is just to low when considering spell damage potions and spell damage temporary buffs.

After seeing this would be the first time in my ESO experience I don't feel playing the game at all. I don't see anything wrong with the sets as they are now. I understand the changes in some ways due to stamina builds, but there has to be a better way to go about it. Now this is ruining the experience for myself and most of the guild I am in. Most of us are asking the question of why Zenimax is making changes out of thin air and changing the game so much, and why they fail to listen to their customers and obviously don't care about it's customers or community.

I don't see the point to change the bonus sets as they are now and neither does majority of the people in our guild. Most of us may unsubscribe if major changes keep happening like this so quickly. It's pretty clear Zenimax has no clue what they are doing or where they want this game to be they just change things without listening to the community it's pretty sad honestly.

Just a suggestion Zenimax try listening to the community before you lose it. I played Elder Scrolls games for a long time. This Elder Scrolls game that you are making now does not feel like a Elder Scrolls experience whatsoever to me.

Congrats on opening a thread with no meaningful suggestion. You don't even say why it bothers you that the sets are changing. Too expensive to upgrade/change? You enjoy three piece warlock set like every other sorc?

I'm happy that my stam build has plenty of options to consider, and I'm glad to see changes to popular sets that make you consider other sets. I've seen so many hype posts after the Quakecon reveals, what's going on behind the scenes - I honestly have no clue what your second paragraph is talking about. I think it's clear you, and a very small number of others, have a vision and that's not the direction ZOS is taking.

Also - when hundings rage changed from being % to flat bonus you kept the original, old item(s) that you had. They weren't retroactive and remained as they were. My friend still has an original 5piece hundings rage set, so unless they change existing items just hold onto whatever tickles your fancy and have fun with them after 1.3.

Item Sets
Thanks to your feedback, we’ve changed some of the set bonuses on existing sets to be more in line with what they were before patch 1.3.0. This is especially true for Hist Bark, Willow’s Path and Twilight’s Embrace.

They are listening IMO, hopefully what they list will calm you down and let you go back to enjoying the game.

When are these coming and are they gonna be retro active ie effect my current gear?
