Looks like new Item sets are coming next patch

Snit · June 2015

Keeping in mind that this could well be September, I look forward to it. TESO provides more build/ gearset complexity and options than do most MMO's, and the tinkerer in me wants more toys to play with.

In the future we can implement catchup mechanics so the first 400 champion ranks require less experience, helping get new players catch up.
In terms of XP, we're actually buffing for some areas in the next major update. Specifically public dungeons and craglorn are being increased. Additionally we're increasing the XP that veteran level quests give so there's more of a parity between gains between questers and grinders. Lastly we're reducing the amount of XP required to get a veteran rank so players can get to the max level content sooner."

did they say when? hopefully before next summer

so they just gonna add more sets with spell damage
what they need to do is add a crafting option to BS, Cloth an d WW to combine a item with certain stats/set with another item with certain looks, so that not everyone has to run around in breton gear to be competitive, but can choose the look he wants with the sets he wants, aka play the way you want

You must be high as *** judging from your signature so i'll let this slide for now.

No actually I wasn't, and dead serious
What's wrong with making a visually apealing set, instead of a mishmash of styles becasue of dropped set combinations

Stygian was an excellent set for a magicka NB in 1.5. Once 1.6 hit it turned to poop.

Most of the fun stuff with Nightblades was ruined with 1.6. It's all so incredibly one-dimensional right now.

I kind dislike the loss of hybrid setups myself

Poxheart · June 2015

Yeah, both my DK and NB were hybrids before 1.6 and they were much more fun to play then. That's one of the things that makes non-vet PvP fun is that everybody is a hybrid essentially.

A set that would boost lightning damage would be nice, instead of everything being based around fire.

Id like a set that increase magicka dmg(spelldmg) basicly, theres heaps of sets that increase weapon damage, feels rather unfair.

Torug, magnus, adroitness, worm cult, Cyrodiils Light, martial knowledge

If this is satire, well done. In case it's serious, then where is Morag Tong (15% poison damage and great partial bonuses including two weapondmg ones), Ravaging (amazing and includes 3 jewelry + 2 armor, allowing for 5 pieces of medium and granting a beautiful ~630 weapon dmg proc constantly), Rage (same but on all attacks instead of only proccing on melee, for around 60% of the effect compared to Ravaging), Hawk's Eye (5% cost reduction, weapdmg bonuses, and 5% bow damage), or Hunding's (multiple crits, nearly 3 bonuses worth of weapdmg and craftable so it can have nirn and be in any normal gear slot) in magicka form? All you did was list the basic and junkier sets that can't compare. WTB 630 spellpower boost proc and 4400+ spellpower with 90% uptime like physical can do

. Or make spellpow contribute far more than weapdmg does to comparable abilities as an interim fix since currently weapondmg contributes only slightly less per point to a skill's damage and effect than spellpower does to a like skill (aka ranged ground tageted aoe vs ranged ground targeted aoe, or single target nuke vs single target nuke). Also WTB reinforced like nirnhoned but higher percentage to compensate for no physical absorption equivalent of harness magicka.

Yep... it's tough to make a decent or better hybrid now, whereas before many might have called even my magicka dk a hybrid because he had softcapped maxed stamina along with his well over softcap magicka, and right at the softcap spell damage with moderately high weapondmg due to running igneous weapons for the fire damage and group buff back then. His sacrifice was in health to allow for this but it was extremely effective nonetheless.

I am pretty satisfied with my magicka tank/hybrid DK atm. It is not the best in 1vX situations but at least I can survive stamina bursts and I can kill anyone wearing less than 3 pieces of nirnhoded a.k.a 30k~ spell resists.

Note : I'm not implying that 3pieces of nirnhoded gives 30k spell resistances. But this is usually what a character would get, total, with the champion points and buffs included.

Yar, and not impossible... just tough

. What I meant by hybrid was being able to use stamina skills for strong damage in a magicka build and vice versa, which is still doable but tough

.

Makkir · June 2015

I just want to say I hope all the new sets are crafted sets and not dropped ones. Need to keep the crafting community alive.

yeah... so all the effort we put levelling all the vet ranks can be surpassed by a new player in less than half time we spent... great move... so the goal is that everyone is at the same level?

Combine this with apparent plans to make Shadow Cloak no longer be countered by Detection Potions, and Nightblade will arguably have the best mitigation in the game.

That's super news. Link please to that discussion?

I have always maintained that "sneaking" should be counterd by potions, but a skill that costs a lot of magica and only lasts 2+ seconds should not be countered. Even if recasting Cloak would reset the potion that would be great.

As someone with a Nightblade, its going to be insanely overpowered and stupid

Well every skill in the game has a counter, why should cloak be any different?

The fact that NBs can cloak during battle while getting hit should be enough, especially if they use Shadow Path + bow dodge roll to run away, even with detect pots is very hard to catch a decent NB who uses line of sight etc.
